Mission Hills Country Club: Tournament

The former home of the ANA Inspiration, now a senior tour event, the Dinah Shore Tournament Course opened in 1972 and was designed by Desmond Muirhead. This classic parkland layout is defined by its well-placed hazards, particularly bunkers that shape landing areas off the tee. The green complexes offer a variety of recovery options, though short-sided misses demand precision with a high pitch or flop to get close to the pin.

Mature trees occasionally encroach on fairways, forcing creative shot-making, while some holes discourage using a driver due to risk outweighing reward. The finishing stretch is the course’s highlight, particularly the iconic 18th hole featuring Poppie’s Pond—a hallmark of golf history as the site of the celebratory jump by past ANA champions.
