History
editThe course opened in 1989, was built on a 350-acre (140 ha) site, at a reported cost of 60 million dollars.[3] Originally operated as Steve Wynn's private club, it later opened to a limited number of MGM hotel guests. Its $500 green fee made it one of the most expensive courses open to the general public.[4]
In 2018, it hosted The Match: Tiger vs. Phil, a match play challenge between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson.[5] It will again host The Match in December 2024 for its PGA/LIV inter-tour competition between Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Bryson Dechambeau and Brooks Koepka.[6]
It hosted the PGA Tour's CJ Cup in October 2020, after the tournament was relocated from South Korea in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[7]
Since 2021, Shadow Creek has hosted the Bank of Hope LPGA Match-Play on the LPGA Tour.
