The Westin Mission Hills Resort - Course 1 in Rancho Mirage
This facility, named to "GOLF Magazine's" 1998 list of "Silver Medal Resorts," features two eighteen hole layouts. The Mission Hills Resort Course, in typical Pete Dye character, has pot bunkers, railroad ties and several water hazards. The fairways are narrow, and the greens are quick. Characteristic Pete Dye challenges include carries over water, hidden pin placements, elevated tees, and rolling fairways. There are four sets of tees to satisfy every skill level. This course has hosted the California State Open, Senior PGA Tour Qualifying Finals and LPGA Tour. The other tee shown is an additional men's tee. The Gary Player designed course, Mission Hills North, is longer, more forgiving and has fast greens. This course also has several spectacular scenic views of the countryside. Contained on its twenty acres are lakes, waterfalls, rocks, and 2,500 trees, Oleanders and native plants. "GOLF Magazine" voted this course one of the top ten new resort courses. The course features twenty acres of lakes, four waterfalls, and over 6,000 tons of natural and artificial rock used to make the water hazards. The resort has a golf pro for each of the two courses; Jack Makkai is the pro for the Pete Dye Course and Jason Murphy for the Gary Player Course.
