PGA WEST PETE DYE DUNES COURSE

Pete Dye's desert masterpiece demands precision over power, with railway ties and pot bunkers lurking around every corner of this Links-style layout carved from the Coachella Valley floor. The signature par-3 8th plays over a massive waste bunker that swallows anything short, while the closing stretch features three of the most diabolical holes in Southern California—including a par-4 finisher where the green sits like an island surrounded by Dye's trademark hazards. This is target golf at its most unforgiving, where course management trumps big drives and even scratch players walk away humbled.
