EVENT OVERVIEW
For just the 4th time in Tour history, Mission Hills Country Club will play host to a Golf Channel Amateur Tour Major!
MIssion Hills Country Club, known worldwide for it's history and tradition is the home of the Dinah Shore Tournament Course, rated the No. 1 golf course in Coachella Valley and the site of the first Major on the LPGA Tour - ANA Inspiration. The Winner of the ANA Inspiration annually makes a running leap off the bank next to the 18th green, flying into the waters of the adjacent "Poppie's Pond." It is known as the Champion's Leap. Unlike many desert golf courses, the Dinah Shore Tournament Course has some tall, mature tees and there are moderate elevation changes, too.
The Pete Dye Challenge Course opened in 1988 and at 6,955 yards, this course is a true test of skill featuring rolling fairways, elevated greens, and Pete Dye's trademark railroad ties marking the beautiful (and plentiful) lakes throughout the course.
The top 3 finishers, per flight and including ties will qualify for the 2020 National Championship and awards double points.
Entry fee of $495 includes green fees, cart fees, use of practice facility, scoring, generous prize fund, tee prize(s), and crystal trophy to event champions.
