Overview

Among the facilities at the club are 3 championship golf courses (54 holes), 27 tennis courts of various surfaces, a spa and sports center. It has been owned by ClubCorp since 1993. The tennis venue of the club hosted finals of the Davis Cup in 1978.

Golf

The first course at Mission Hills was designed by Desmond Muirhead and opened 49 years ago in 1971.[1] It is over this course, now known as the Dinah Shore Tournament Course, that the ANA Inspiration, one of the five major championships in women's professional golf, is played. It debuted in April 1972 as the "Colgate-Dinah Shore Winner's Circle," the richest event on the LPGA Tour, and became a major in 1983.

The second course was designed by golf legend Arnold Palmer and opened in 1979. A third course was added in 1988, and originally called the Dinah Shore Course, but with Dinah Shore's name being transferred to the old course after her death in 1994, was renamed as the Pete Dye Challenge Course.

The ANA Inspiration winner takes the traditional jump into Poppie's Pond, next to the bridge at the 18th green. Amy Alcott was the first in 1988, and it has been an annual ritual since 1994.[7]

gollark: Also, people often want to do things like "restart" which it can't nicely express and end up contorting it horribly.
gollark: REST seems kind of bad to me. It feels kind of layer-violationy using HTTP things to signal application-level statuses, and a lot of the time both ends would have less code just using a RPC-style interface, which has unfortunately fallen out of fashion.
gollark: You pollute everything with variables for no good reason.
gollark: You should likely just be using a table.
gollark: Technically yes but please don't.
