Course Designer
Ernie Els
The Els Course’s concept is to create a lush, densely forested backdrop that contrasts with expansive stretches of well-manicured turf, suggesting the “maintained garden” appearance that is typical of Els’ native South Africa. The Els Course, which is over 7,000 yards long, has a distinctive “core” layout where no two holes are parallel to one another. With its tee box perched atop the course’s highest point, the iconic fourth hole offers golfers sweeping vistas of Mission Hills Golf Club and the surrounding area.
