5th Annual World Golfers Championship

Hyatt Grand Champions Resort, Indian Wells and Desert Willow

The 1999 year's tournament was played at two great courses, Indian Wells and Desert Willow in Palm Springs, California. Everyone stayed at the explicit Hyatt Grand Champions Resort, a true paradise.

Hyatt Grand Champions Resort

Hyatt Grand Champions Resort & Spa is an extraordinary oasis nestled among towering palm trees beneath the dramatic Eisenhower Peak of the Santa Rosa Mountains.

Exclusively designed in the world class community of Indian Wells, renowned for international golf, tennis, musical and cultural events, this 34-acre AAA Four Diamond/Mobil Four Star award winning resort is an exotic landscape of unspoiled beauty, expansive courtyards, sparkling fountains, formal gardens and celebrated artwork.

Hyatt Grand Champions Resort & Spa, an impressive European-style full-service property, presents 479 expansive guestroom accommodations, including 26 elegant Penthouse Suites and 19 majestic garden Villas, all with private terraces and panoramic mountain views.

Indian Wells

Named among the "Top 10 Resorts in California" by California Golf Magazine and a winner of Golf Magazine's "Silver Medal Award", the Golf Resort at Indian Wells is truly a golfer's paradise.

Enjoy 36 Holes of Ted Robinson-designed championship golf featuring lush greens, rolling fairways, pristine lakes and breathtaking views. This truly masterful layout provides both demanding championship play plus fun and excitement for the beginner.

From golf's biggest names, to movie stars and Presidents - this is where legends come to play. Indian Wells hosts more than 600 tournaments annually — including the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic.

Desert Willow

Recently selected by Golf Digest as one of "The Places To Play", this tournament tested layout is one of only three courses in California and one of the best 50 in the United States to receive this designation in terms of conditioning.

Featured on the cover of Smithsonian Magazine as well as in National Geographic Traveler for its environmentally sound design and construction, Firecliff has attracted tournaments such as the Frank Sinatra Celebrity Classic, Subaru Southern California Team Championship, and Pepsi Tour events. In November, The Prestige at Palm Desert, an official NCAA event, will feature sixteen of the top universities in the country including Stanford, UCLA, Washington, Yale, Rice, Pepperdine and Northwestern.

The course features more than 100 bunkers, expansive desert areas, undulating greens and 5 holes that bring water into play. With 5 sets of tees, Firecliff can play from 5079 yards to 7056 yards with the most difficult hole being number 4 - a 446 yd. par 4.
