Few courses in American golf carry a name more intertwined with women's professional golf history. The Dinah Shore Tournament Course at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage served as the home of the Kraft Nabisco Championship — now the ANA Inspiration — for decades, making it one of the most storied venues on the LPGA Tour. The tournament became a major in 1983, and the course witnessed some of the game's most dramatic moments, including the beloved tradition of the winner leaping into Poppie's Pond beside the 18th green.
Rancho Mirage sits in the Coachella Valley, where the Santa Rosa Mountains frame nearly every shot and the desert air keeps the ball flying long. The valley's golf corridor is one of the densest concentrations of quality courses in the country, and Mission Hills has long been among its most prestigious addresses.
The layout plays to a par 72 across terrain that rewards patience and local knowledge — desert wind, firm turf, and sun-baked conditions demand a different kind of game than most visitors expect the first time around.
