The story so far

The Stadium Course at PGA West in La Quinta, California, was the first course built at the PGA West complex. Pete Dye designed it, and it opened in 1986 with a brief to build one of the hardest courses in the world, at 56-150 PGA Boulevard.

At about 7,300 yards it received the highest USGA course rating on record at the time. The island-green par-3 17th and a deep bunker on the 16th are its best-known features. It has hosted The American Express on the PGA Tour.
