This renowned association holds the most widely recognized golf championships in the world. There are over 30 tournaments annually in which members can participate.

Or, check out the Wanamaker course, which also features a variety of challenges and an incredible finishing hole. The Dye course, designed by Pete Dye, is a public course that honors the native land and incorporates aspects of the naturally occurring landscape into a the links style course.

The PGA West Stadium Course in Palm Springs is another well-known favorite of many golfers. This course is the locale for a variety of well-known events, including The Bob Hope Chrysler Classic, PGA Grand Slam of Golf and Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf tournament.
