Venue
PGA WEST®
PGA West is a spectacular master-planned country club community, established
in 1984, located in beautiful La Quinta, just minutes from Palm Springs, California.
PGA West is a recreational/resort development consisting of more than 2,200 acres
featuring world-class golf, tennis and fitness. PGA West currently hosts six incredible
golf courses, including the new Greg Norman Course. Residents enjoy three expansive
clubhouses, a health and racquet club, as well as plenty of social activities. The Club
at PGA West was opened for membership in 1985, and the enthusiasm of the members was evident
even before the first golf course was opened in early 1986. PGA West has earned its title as
"The Western Home of Golf in America"® by hosting many important tournaments, including
players from the PGA TOUR, Senior PGA Tour, LPGA, and NCAA. One of the most famous shots
in golf history occurred at the Stadium Golf Course, when Lee Trevino made a hole-in-one at
number 17, "Alcatraz," during the 1988 Skins Game. Not to mention David Duval's amazing eagle
on the 18th of the Arnold Palmer Private course to win the 1999 Bob Hope Chrysler Classic with a
record breaking 59 strokes. The Club at PGA West is located at 55-955 PGA Boulevard, La Quinta,
California 92253. For more information, call 800. or 760.564.7111.

PGA West (The Stadium Golf Course)
There may be no greater challenge in the game of golf than the PGA WEST Stadium Golf® Course,
designed by Pete Dye and ranked in The 100 Greatest Courses in the U.S. by Golf Magazine.
Revered for its brash beauty and intriguing design, nine of the holes have water very much in play,
and almost every hole displays Pete Dye's tremendous bunkering. This is especially true on the 16th,
a 571 yard, par 5, where the massive green side bunker, complete with stairs, sits 18 feet below the
level of the green. It's no wonder the Stadium Golf Course has been the site of so many high-profile
events, including The Skins Game, The Bob Hope Chrysler Classic, The Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf,
and the PGA Grand Slam of Golf.
