About Mission Hills - Gary Player

Mission Hills — Gary Player Course in Rancho Mirage is one of the Coachella Valley's most historic tournament venues, home to the LPGA's ANA Inspiration (formerly the Dinah Shore) major championship for many decades. Gary Player designed this layout in the classic desert resort tradition, with water features, lush fairways, and mountain views that define the Coachella Valley golf aesthetic. The course is most famous for the 18th hole, where winning LPGA champions traditionally celebrate with a leap into the pond beside the green — one of the most recognizable traditions in women's professional golf. The course hosted the event from 1972 through the mid-2020s, accumulating a storied history of major championship moments in the desert.

History

Gary Player designed the Mission Hills course in the early 1970s, and it quickly became home to the Dinah Shore Invitational, one of the LPGA's major championships. The tournament — later known as the Kraft Nabisco and then the ANA Inspiration — ran at Mission Hills for over five decades, creating one of the most beloved traditions in women's golf. Champions like Amy Alcott, Betsy King, Annika Sorenstam, and Lorena Ochoa have all made the celebratory pond leap after winning here.

Golf history enthusiasts and LPGA fans who want to walk the same fairways as Annika Sorenstam and other legends of women's golf in a stunning desert resort setting.
