Since the Coore & Crenshaw renovation the West Course has a par-3 nineteenth hole, built to settle matches still tied after 18.
Coore & Crenshaw replaced the West Course's traditional two-green system with single greens fitted with sub-air cooling, with Bill Coore personally shaping the contours.
The West Course 18th, a dogleg-left par 4 over a hill that plays shorter than its yardage, hides a centre-fairway bunker that long hitters cutting the corner cannot see from the tee; the club says hitting the wide two-tier green from it is close to impossible.

Every value is shown as recorded in GNN's tour-course research (profiles, championship history, the tour's visits since 2017, stories, details and course changes, each with its sources). A value no source confirmed is left out; nothing is estimated. The light in the room is the sun's real position on the last day of a recorded visit.
The routing and ground are drawn from OpenStreetMap data, © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database License (ODbL). The clubhouse is drawn by GNN from reference photographs; the photographs stay private.
