The course at PGA West’s Pete Dye Stadium in La Quinta, California, one of three courses used for the 2023 The American Express PGA Tour, opened in 1986 to a design by the legendary architect whose name appears in the design’s title.
The 7,187-yard, par-72 Stadium Course is the main course for this week’s event, hosting each player in one of the first three rounds, as well as Sunday’s final round. The other two courses used in the first three rounds are La Quinta Country Club (7,060 yards, par 72) and PGA West’s Nicklaus Tournament Course (7,147 yards, par 72). All players have one round on each course before the cut is made for the final round on Sunday.
The Stadium Course is ranked #11 in California on Golfweek’s list of Best Public Access Courses, and the Nicklaus Tournament Course is ranked 23rd in the state on that list.
