The Arnold Palmer Private Course recently made its inaugural appearance in Golf Digest's 2023 "Best Golf Courses in California." With five finishing holes artfully sculpted along the rugged Santa Rosa Mountains, Hall-of-Fame Professional Golfer Arnold Palmer has designed a truly tournament-worthy course.
Known for David Duval's 1999 win with a final round, course record 59, the tournament boasts many big name winners such as Mark Wilson (2012), Bill Haas (2010), Phil Mickelson (2002,2004), Fred Couples (1998) Jack Nicklaus (1963) and Mr. Palmer himself, winning a record five times (1960, 62, 68, 71, 73).
"What other people may find in poetry or art museums, I find in the flight of a good drive." — Arnold Palmer
