THP is pleased to announce that the Fall Outing is now official. We have partnered with what we consider to be one of the finest golf resorts in the world and that is PGA National Resort & Spa in Palm Beach Gardens, FL to host this great event.
PGA National Resort & Spa has been recognized by numerous golf publications as one of the top resorts in the U.S. and is the only resort to host a Ryder Cup, PGA Championship, and a regular stop on the PGA TOUR (The Honda Classic).
We held the Spring Outing & Demo Day and felt it was a huge success, but this is a different animal all together. In many ways, this will be a “first of its kind” type of outing and we think that it will be a memorable weekend for everybody that is able to make the trip to West Palm Beach and this incredible resort. The weekend will be filled with golf each day as well as time for food, drinks, and fun.

THP Members Only
The Fall Golf Outing is available for THP members only and family of THP members. If a THP member would like their friends to join in the fun we ask that they please sign up for the forum first. This outing is not open to the general public and will once again be no sales reps allowed. It is something that our members loved about the last outing and we are keeping it this way again.
The THP Fall Golf Outing is only available to a maximum of 50 golfers. We are limiting it for a reason, so if you are planning on going, you must sign up by contacting myself or Golfer Gal via email so that we can add you to the list. josh@thehackersparadise.com or golfergal@thehackersparadise.com.
Once you sign up, you will receive instructions on booking your room through the resort.
Misc.
Anybody under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
Rates will be extended for those that want to check in or check out early or late.
Shuttle Service from the airport is available ($30 per person) so no rental car is needed.
We are still debating on whether to play The Champion Course (where Honda Classic is played). The cost is an extra $50 per person for the round. But all the courses there are amazing.
Childcare services are available with Kids Club Wednesday-Saturday from 10 am- 4 pm. The ages for the camp are 5-12.

I am already booked, packed, excited and ready to go.
Thanks to THP for organizing another great outing! I can’t wait.
I can’t think of anything I’d rather do than make this outing. Things are not looking good work wise, so I can’t book yet and all I think about all day is this outing, lol. Gotta find a way, gotta find a way…..
We are book in for this, just have to setup flights! I CAN NOT WAIT! My wife and I will be there. So Excited.
This is going to be incredible. I must say thanks to our hosts and to PGA National Resort and Spa for the great deal. I cannot wait to see what equipment the companies send this time around!
WOW! what an unbelievable venue, phenomenal format, and quality hosts! i wouldn’t miss this for the world. a big thank you needs to got the JB and GG for organizing all of this for a bunch of “hackers”. thanks to the fine folks at pganational for believing in this wonderful place and for making a true “tour” experience possible for us.
My husband and I are SO excited about this trip. We’ve already booked our flights and are ready to go. Can’t wait!!!!
Heck yeah! I am so excited! The last outing was so very fun and this one is going to dwarf the last one I am sure. I am very excited about the demo day and the rounds at this fantastic place. Last time I ended up walking away with a new shaft and a new putter (bought on my way home). I will be needing to replace my wedges by the time that this rolls around and I can’t wait to try them all.
I also want a deep tissue massage.
Very excited to be going to this. My GF who doesn’t golf is ready for it to be September already. When she saw the beautiful resort and all it has to offer she was stunned. Everyone here is very cool so it should be a blast. I can’t wait to meet everyone, make some new friends over beverages and play some golf.
I can’t wait for this. It will be my first outing with THP. This place looks amazing!!! I’m sure it will be a memorable weekend.
I’m hoping my wife and I are able to make this one. Lots of what-ifs going on right now to make a commitment and take up a spot in case we don’t make it. The first one was a great experience and if readers can swing this I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Wow, this is going to be such a great time. The resort and courses look awesome and well kept. To have this wonderful chance to play this golf course is very cool. I am looking forward to time with my THP friends. Thanks to the PGA National Resort and THP for putting this together!!!
I’m booked and can’t wait to meet everyone and play some incredible golf at the PGA National Resort. Thanks THP for arranging this opportunity!
I am very excited about this opportunity. I missed the last one but there was no way in the world I was going to miss this outing. Thank you so much to the fine people who run THP for this opportunity I look forward to meeting so many good people and playing some great rounds of golf.
