The PGA Show 2027 returns to Orlando from 26 to 29 January, and it happens in two places. Demo Day opens the week on Tuesday 26 January at Orange County National Golf Center, an outdoor range on the west side of Orlando, and the exhibition then runs from Wednesday 27 to Friday 29 January in the West Concourse of the Orange County Convention Center on International Drive. The show is trade-only and drew more than 34,000 golf industry professionals in 2026, so hotels around the convention centre fill early. Most visitors stay on International Drive, where many hotels are a walk or a short ride from the West Concourse, and use the organiser's shuttle out to Demo Day. Universal Boulevard, Lake Buena Vista and Dr. Phillips are practical alternatives. If you are comparing pga show hotels, this page shows live hotel rates near the venue for your dates, starting from the exhibition days; extend your stay if you are going to Demo Day.

Where should you eat during PGA Show?
The dining you'll want clusters along International Drive and Restaurant Row (Sand Lake Rd), both minutes from the Orange County Convention Center. Steakhouses fill up when a big convention is in town, so reserve early, and note most upscale rooms don't open until 4-5pm.

How do you get to PGA Show?
From Orlando International Airport (MCO)
- MCO is the main airport for the PGA Show, with direct flights from across the US and many international routes
- The convention centre and International Drive hotels are a straightforward taxi or rideshare from MCO, usually around 20-30 minutes outside peak traffic
- Car hire is easy at MCO, and worth considering if you are staying away from International Drive or want to drive yourself to Demo Day
Getting to Demo Day at Orange County National
- Demo Day is at Orange County National Golf Center, roughly 10 miles west of the convention centre in a straight line
- The organiser runs a dedicated shuttle from the convention centre to Demo Day; you need to collect your badge first
- Demo Day runs 09:00 to 17:00, rain or shine, with general access for registered attendees from 12:00 after PGA and LPGA professionals, VIP buyers and media
- If you plan to drive, Orange County National is closer to the western suburbs than to the airport, so allow time on Tuesday morning
How do you get around during PGA Show?
Getting to the Orange County Convention Center each day
- The exhibition is in the West Concourse; check you are heading to the right building, as the convention centre has two large buildings on either side of International Drive
- The organiser says complimentary shuttles will run from selected hotels in its housing programme to the convention centre, with details to follow
- The I-Ride Trolley runs along International Drive and is a simple option from hotels on the strip
- Exhibition hours are 08:30 to 18:00 on Wednesday and Thursday and 08:30 to 14:00 on Friday
Around Orlando
- Orlando is built around the car; outside International Drive, rideshare or a hire car is the practical way to reach dinners and client events
- Late January weather is usually mild, but mornings at Demo Day can be cool and showers are possible, so bring a layer and waterproofs
- Rideshare queues build at the convention centre at exhibition close, especially on Wednesday and Thursday evenings
Do you need a visa for PGA Show?
Visa-free / visa on arrival
- Citizens of Visa Waiver Program countries, including the UK, most of the EU, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand, can usually attend a trade show for up to 90 days with an approved ESTA rather than a visa
- Apply for ESTA on the official US government website well before you fly; approvals are normally valid for two years, and unofficial sites charge extra for the same form
- Canadian citizens do not normally need a visa or ESTA for a short business visit of this kind
eVisa / visa required
- Most other nationalities, including India, China, Brazil and South Africa, need a B-1/B-2 visitor visa, which involves an in-person interview at a US embassy or consulate
- Interview waits vary widely by country and can run to months, so start the application as soon as you decide to attend the PGA Show
- If you have previously been refused an ESTA or are ineligible for the Visa Waiver Program, you will need to apply for a full visa instead
Documents to carry
- Your the PGA Show registration confirmation and, if exhibiting, a letter from your employer explaining your role at the show
- Your hotel confirmation and return or onward travel details, which US border officers commonly ask to see
- Proof of your role in the golf industry, as the PGA Show is trade-only and badges are collected in person at the convention centre
Entry and visa rules change often; check current requirements with the US embassy in your country or official US government sources before you book travel.
First time at PGA Show?
- Decide early whether you are going to Demo Day; if so, plan to arrive by Monday 25 January and book from that night
- Badges are not posted out: collect yours at the convention centre before taking the Demo Day shuttle
- The PGA Show is trade-only, and guest invitations from PGA of America professionals are limited to business roles or immediate family
- The exhibition closes at 14:00 on Friday 29 January, so book flights out for later that afternoon or the next day
- Education sessions run Tuesday to Friday, with a shorter Tuesday programme at the convention centre while Demo Day is on
Insider tips from repeat attendees
- Demo Day general access starts at 12:00, so attendees without priority access can use Tuesday morning for badge pickup and education sessions first
- Friday's shorter exhibition day is often the easiest time to catch exhibitors for a longer conversation
- Staying near the West Concourse saves time on the two full exhibition days, when shuttle and rideshare queues are longest
