sunsets, the city of La Quinta boasts the type of weather that is ideal for
outdoor recreation for much of the year, and the Coachella Valley is a
bucket-list destination for anyone who loves the game of golf.
PGA WEST's golf courses have been designed by some of the most
renowned architects and players in the game, including Arnold Palmer,
Jack Nicklaus, Tom Weiskopf, Greg Norman and, of course, Pete Dye, whose
work on the Stadium Course created one of the most challenging and
memorable tracks on the PGA Tour.
Almost immediately upon its opening, PGA WEST was thrust into the
national spotlight thanks to its role as host to premier PGA Tour events.
Television viewership of the Skins Game over Thanksgiving weekend each
year was massive, and it didn't hurt that in 1987 Lee Trevino made one of the
most memorable shots in the event's history with a hole-in-one at the Pete
Dye Stadium Course's 17th hole – nicknamed "Alcatraz" for its island green.
"PGA WEST is a
unique, one-of-a-kind
property. 6is is truly
a special place with
a collection of
golf courses by
the most famous
names in golf."
Ben Dobbs,
Executive Director at PGA WEST
