From 1987 until 1994, and again from 1998 to the present, a course at PGA West in La Quinta, (the TPC Stadium Golf Course in 1987 and the Arnold Palmer Private Course thereafter) became a permanent member of the roster; from 1995–97, Indian Ridge Country Club in Palm Desert replaced PGA West. To make room for a new permanent member, Eldorado Country Club and La Quinta Country Club alternated from 1987–89 (Eldorado being used in 87 and 89), after which Eldorado Country Club was dropped from the roster. From 1990–2003 Tamarisk Country Club and La Quinta Country Club followed a "1–2" alternating arrangement, where Tamarisk was played the first year and La Quinta CC the next two; this pattern was deviated from when Tamarisk was used in 2004 (a La Quinta CC year by the pattern), although the 2005, 2006 and 2007 events were then played at La Quinta CC.

I wrote the article below more than ten years ago when The Peak was a black and white print magazine. I’m happy to say that unlike the Ironwood Golf Course, which is now a residential neighborhood, the Desert Forest Golf Course is still with us. It is a beautiful course and the black and white pictures in the 2004 article below don’t do it justice.
Golf Digest’s survey of America’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses is the oldest and most respected golf course ranking. The survey, established in 1966, is based on extensive play and scrutiny of thousands of courses. Only 28 courses have been listed 37 years in a row since the survey began. Desert Forest Golf Course in Carefree is one of those courses.
Incidentally, since it was founded the club has limited its membership to 250 and has usually had a membership waiting list. Because of economic uncertainty and the stock market crash, there were 30 memberships available in 2004. Contact the club for up-to-date membership information.

Think about your on- and off-campus commitments, not just in terms of when the courses take place (although that should certainly be a factor), but also in terms of your workload, and whether your schedule will accommodate it.
