The theme of the Els Course is to create a lush backdrop of dense tree growth juxtaposed against wide swaths of manicured turf, thus evoking a “maintained garden” aesthetic reminiscent of Els’ South African homeland. Measuring more than 7,000 yards, the Els Course follows a unique “core” layout in which no two holes run parallel.

The signature fourth hole features a tee box atop the highest point on the course, providing golfers with panoramic views of Mission Hills Golf Club and the surrounding region.
