GOLF AT MISSION HILLS

Two of the finest golf courses in the Palm Springs area are located at the Westin Mission Hills Resort, as well as a comprehensive golf program that includes tournament organization, and group and individual lessons and clinics.

The Pete Dye Course at the Westin Mission Hills Resort offers hidden pin placements, water carries, pot bunkers, elevated tees and rolling fairways.  Built in 1987, this award-winning course plays at 6706 yards at a par 70 and is nestled against the resort grounds. It is challenging, yet very playable.

The Gary Player Signature Course - The only Gary Player Signature Course in the Palm Springs area, Mission Hills North plays to 7062 yards at a par 72.  Renowned for its remarkable blending with existing desert landscape, this course's challenging length, small greens and strategically placed bunkers provides an exciting yet playable  round for golfers of all skill levels.

Named one of the Top Ten New Resort Courses in 1991 by U.S. Golf Magazine, Mission Hills North was the only course in the area rated 4.5 stars out of a possible 5 by Golf Digest in 2000.

The Pete Dye Pro Shop at the Westin Mission Hills Resort  offers a professional golf staff, a full line of men's and women's golf apparel and shoes and a wide selection of clubs, balls and golf accessories. The Pete Dye Pro Shop was named among America's 100 Best by Golf World Business in February, 2001.
The Gary Play Golf Shop features Nike clubs, balls, footwear and apparel exclusively.

The Westin Mission Hills Resort offers an eight-acre multitiered, complimentary two sided driving range with three practice greens, one chipping green and two practice bunkers on the resort property.  Another equally impressive practice facility is located at the Gary Player Signature Course.

The Golf Academy at Mission Hills Resort offers individual and group lessons and clinics.
