Overview

Pete Dye's Stadium Course is the most famous of the PGA WEST layouts, built with spectator mounding and notorious for deep pot bunkers, railroad-tie walls and water down the closing stretch. The par-3 17th, nicknamed 'Alcatraz', is an island green where Lee Trevino made a famous ace in the 1987 Skins Game. It is open to resort guests and the public and serves as a host course for the PGA Tour's The American Express.

⏰ Best times to play: Winter and early spring bring ideal conditions but peak rates; summer twilight and early-morning tee times are far cheaper, though afternoon heat regularly tops 100F.
