About this course:
PGA WEST: Stadium Course in La Quinta is Pete Dye’s demanding championship layout, framed by rugged mountains and classic desert scenery. The course opens across wider fairways before turning into a tougher inward stretch where precision becomes essential. Its bold design and dramatic routing create a true test of accuracy, especially at the par-3 17th, “Alcatraz,” with its island green, and the water-lined 18th that brings the round to a tense finish. Known as one of the most difficult courses in California, the Stadium Course gives skilled golfers a memorable championship experience shaped by pressure, shot-making, and strong Dye-style visuals. A grand Spanish colonial clubhouse completes the setting around the outward and inward nines.
