Golf La Costa Resort and Spa, Carlsbad, California

Add to My List Check Off

Omni La Costa Resort and Spa is a luxury destination hotel located in Carlsbad, California, and is known for its golf courses and its location in the San Diego area hills. La Costa served as a home to two notable PGA Tour events. For thirty years, the resort hosted the Mercedes Championships (originally called the Tournament of Champions), from 1969 to 1998. That event left for Maui, Hawaii, when La Costa was selected to host the inaugural WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship in 1999. It hosted that event for seven of eight years (the 2001 event was played in Australia), until it moved to Arizona in 2007. In 2010 and 2012, the resort hosted the Kia Classic, an LPGA tour event with an estimated attendance of 43,000 in 2010. This 36-hole venue has been elevated in stature with recent renovation by Damian Pascuzzo and Steve Pate of the North Course, now known as the Champions Course with new bunkers, greens complexes and the redesign of several holes. Four holes were also redone on the former South Course, now known as the Legends Course, which currently hosts an LPGA event.
