Have You Played Where a PGA, Champions, or LPGA Event Has Been Played?

I have played PGA West, at least one or two courses in there, but I am not sure if I've played any of the courses used to host the Hope.

I played a course that I think both isn't PGA West and is host to the Hope a few years ago, possibly at a TST outing, but I'm not sure if I'm thinking of the right one.

I have played Rancho Park plenty of times (exactly half of my sub-80 rounds were there!) and Wilson/Harding.  Rancho Park might be my favorite golf course among those I've played more than a half dozen times.  

Hopefully I'll get a chance to play TPC Scottsdale, maybe this August or September, and at some point I think there was a PGA Tour event in Las Vegas, I should get up there and play those course(s).

I love Rancho Park too!  I don't get out there much due to the 405 issues (Im in Santa Clarita) but I do try and get out there every now and then...last time out was in January where I eagled 17 (left green) with a holed 145 yard third shot ! Rancho is a great course! And at 24 bucks weekday with the city card, an absolute steal!

Ha. If you separate out the actual experience with the course itself, Rancho Park is awesome! Definitely my favorite in the LA area among the ones I played 6+ times. So many great holes! Of course, it took 5-6 hours to play 18 on a weekend when I used to play there 15 years ago. And now they put out 5somes every 10 minute! So the actual experience of playing golf there is often among the worst possible, not best possible 🤣

Its slow without a doubt...but no 5 somes... been 4 Only for some time...the problem is that too many hacks play from the tips...and all the par 3s are long and hard, so the extra hacking on those holes slows everything down...now having said that, slow play doesn't really bother me...im retired and play 3-4x a week...im in no rush really...I personally play ready golf, keep it moving , dont surround putts from all sides, but at 66 and with some health issues, I just like being out there ...been playing muni city LA golf for 61 years...I've never seen fast play lol
