The Dinah Shore Tournament Course at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage occupies a prominent place in women's professional golf history. Designed by Desmond Muirhead and opened in 1970, the course served as the long-time home of the Kraft Nabisco Championship (now the Chevron Championship), one of the LPGA Tour's five major championships. The tournament was played here from 1972 through 2014, establishing the course's signature moment: the winner's traditional leap into Poppie's Pond adjacent to the 18th green, a celebration that became one of golf's most recognizable traditions. Muirhead's design navigates relatively flat desert terrain with strategic bunkering and water hazards that demand precision rather than overwhelming length. The course measures around 6,700 yards from the championship tees, a yardage that has tested the world's best female professionals for decades while remaining accessible to resort and member play. Palm trees line many fairways, and the San Jacinto Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop to the west. The closing stretch, particularly the par-5 18th with its island green approach, creates theater befitting a major championship venue. Mission Hills operates as a private country club with multiple courses on the property, and the Dinah Shore layout reflects both tournament pedigree and the resort-style golf culture of the Coachella Valley. The course's identity remains deeply connected to its role in women's golf history, having showcased champions from Amy Alcott to Annika Sorenstam during its four-decade run as a major championship venue.
