PGA West - Stadium Course

La Quinta, CA — The PGA West Stadium Course, a Pete Dye masterpiece opened in 1986, was born from a bold vision to create one of the world's most challenging golf experiences. Dye, known for his dramatic and often intimidating designs, sculpted this desert landscape with his signature mounding, deep bunkers, and deceptive sightlines, often creating features from seemingly nothing. The course is famously home to two of golf's most iconic finishing holes. The par-3 17th, dubbed "Alcatraz," demands a precise tee shot to its island green, surrounded by imposing boulders and water, a true test of nerve. Following this, the water-lined 18th presents a formidable challenge to close out the round. The Stadium Course has a rich championship pedigree, having hosted the Skins Game from 1986-1991 and serving as a host course for the PGA Tour's Humana Challenge (formerly the Bob Hope Classic), where it witnessed David Duval's historic 1999 final-round 59. This course is a relentless examination of skill and strategy, offering an unforgettable and often humbling playing experience that truly embodies Dye's philosophy of pushing golfers to their limits.
