THE COURSE – Par 71 | 7,100 yards
The newest course at PGA WEST and the only Greg Norman-designed golf course in the Coachella Valley is aptly described as being very "challenging but fair." Sporting only 68 acres of lush manicured turf, 102 white crushed marble bunkers and shark blue water coming into play on 9 holes, this 7,200-yard course offers a truly "Outback" experience
LAST TIME OUT
TCU's spring opener, the Amir Ari Invitational in Hawaii, was canceled due to high winds.
