PGA WEST - Nicklaus Tournament

About the club

Challenge, beauty and drama permeate every Jack Nicklaus-designed course, and this masterful design is no exception. Around every corner you will find a new challenge, including the rare feature of two island greens. At 7,204 yards long, The Nicklaus Tournament Course has a stroke rating of 75.3 and a slope rating of 143. A true ball strikers' golf course, The Nicklaus Tournament along with the TPC Stadium Course is the bi-annual host of the PGA Tour’s final round of Q-School, which is attended by some of the best players in the world. 2016 marks the first year the CareerBuilder Challenge will be played on the Nicklaus Tournament and host Course, Stadium Course after being played on two of PGA WEST's Private Courses for over a decade. Nicknamed by Members as the Nick Tourney, it is both very forgiving off the tee and extremely demanding around the greens. Without a doubt, a “must play” for not only a great test of golf, but for its magnificent desert setting.
