The Stadium Course at PGA West is an 18-hole, par-72 championship layout located in La Quinta, California. Designed by Pete Dye and opened in 1981, it plays to 7,147 yards from the back tees. Renowned as one of the most demanding public-access courses in the United States, it features dramatic desert terrain, deep bunkering, and heavily contoured greens that require precise shot-making.

Water hazards and significant elevation changes come into play on several holes, enhancing both difficulty and visual impact. The course has hosted PGA Tour events, including the American Express (formerly the Bob Hope Classic). A standout choice for golf holidays in California, it delivers a true championship test in a desert setting.
