The hazards that make Pebble Beach Golf Links the most spectacular golf course in the land - the Stillwater Cove and Carmel Bay in the Pacific Ocean - will be in play more than ever at the 2010 U.S. Open June 17-20.

Pebble Beach has been tweaked, massaged and molded into what the brass at the United States Golf Association hope is a tougher test of golf. The USGA, in consultation with Arnold Palmer, managing partner at the resort, has added new tees, trees, bunkers and slopes to the world's most famous course.

To say that Pebble Beach isn't the golf same course that Tiger Woods dismantled en route to a landslide 15-stroke victory at the 2000 U.S. Open would be true, but it wouldn't be entirely accurate. The changes don't deface the Mona Lisa of golf. They only enhance it.

Golf Digest Names Las Vegas' Angel Park Golf Club as Top 50 Best Women's Course http://design.arnoldpalmer.com/whatsnew/archives/2010/02/golf_digest_names_las_vegas_an.html golflasvegasnow.com

February 19, 2010 (Las Vegas, Nevada)--Angel Park Golf Club is the home of two 18-hole Arnold Palmer Las Vegas golf courses, a lighted par 3, an all-grass putting course, and expansive practice facilties. For seemingly too many years to count, this facility and its Las Vegas golf courses have earned status as the "Best Golf Course in Las Vegas" in a local newspaper poll. Now, Golf Digest has named Angel Park to a list of the Top 50 most friendly women golf courses in America.

"We take our loyalty to female guests very seriously," says David Stead, Director of Golf at Angel Park Golf Club. "Although the game of golf sort of started out as a male-centric game, I gotta tell you that the ladies who tee it up at our club are just as captivated with this wonderful game as the men. Their participation is good for everyone." Angel Park Golf Club is also home to a restaurant and patio with terrific views, plus a full-service pro shop. And Las Vegas golfers can reserve Las Vegas golf tee times for the best rate guaranteed at the official Angel Park Golf Club website.

Great Golf in Port Aransas on the Texas Gulf Coast http://design.arnoldpalmer.com/whatsnew/archives/2010/02/great_golf_in_port_aransas_on.html Read the full Story on CyberGolf.com

Newport Dunes makes its mark in Port Aransas in a Hurry

Located on the northern tip of Mustang Island, Port Aransas is the hub of coastal activities and family fun on the Texas Coast. The bays, jetties and deep Gulf waters offer the finest fishing around, and the town - known locally as "Port A" - boasts beautiful beaches leading to the deep-blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

It's also the perfect spot for a true links-style course, a vision that Arnold Palmer Design Group turned into reality with Newport Dunes Golf Club. Weighing in at 6,821 wind-swept yards from the tips, the par-71 track meanders through sweeping, untamed native dunes and offers spectacular views of both the Gulf of Mexico and Corpus Christi Bay.

Turtle Bay Resort's Arnold Palmer golf course will earn your respect http://design.arnoldpalmer.com/whatsnew/archives/2010/01/turtle_bay_resorts_arnold_palm.html By Mike Bailey, Senior Staff Writer - HawaiiGolf.com

KAHUKU, Hawaii - If you're looking for lots of Pacific Ocean views and spectacular white sand beaches, the Arnold Palmer Course at Turtle Bay Resort probably isn't you cup of Waialua coffee

But if you want to test your game, in sometimes difficult conditions, you've come to the right place.

Because Palmer and longtime partner Ed Seay didn't do typical resort golf at Turtle Bay Resort; they built a tournament course. It is no wonder that the golf course, one of two 18-hole layouts at the resort, is the current host of the LPGA's SBS Open and former site of a Champions Tour event.

Recently, Turtle Bay Resort was named as the site of the Hawaii State Open.

From GolfClubAtlas.com

The design of the golf course at Tralee polarizes golfers. Some swear by it as among the finest and finding playing elsewhere to be a bit boring. Others contend the two nines are too disparate and the course has too many all-or-nothing shots to be considered great. How can both views exist among reasonable men?

Pebble Beach turns back clock for 2010 U.S. Open http://design.arnoldpalmer.com/whatsnew/archives/2009/11/pebble_beach_turns_back_clock.html November 11, 2009 - Kevin Merfeld from Monterey County The Herald writes about the recent course changes at Pebble Beach and what they mean for the upcoming 2010 U.S. Open.

If it seems like Pebble Beach is going back in time, that's because it actually did.

After the 2000 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, senior vice president of golf RJ Harper went through photos of the course from the early 1900s with co-owner Arnold Palmer and his design team.

"If you go way back through a series of decades and you look at photos from superintendent to superintendent, all these golf holes have evolved," Harper said. "We wanted to keep the golf course and its original integrity in mind and make sure we didn't do anything that's odd or looks awkward or misplaced. Everything we did got a final stamp of approval from Arnold."
