Overview
The Dye course at Stonebridge Ranch originally debuted in 1988 and was designed by Pete Dye and his son Perry. Host of the 1994 NCAA Championships, the Dye course is the signature of the three courses at Stonebridge Ranch and is rich with classic Pete Dye design elements, like undulating fairways guarded by snaking bunkers and hazards and exposed railroad ties on greens and island tee boxes. Tall fescue grasses bordering fairways and large sloping greens make Stonebridge Ranch a stark test, something Pete Dye himself confirmed when he is said to have labeled the final four holes the hardest finishing stretch he had ever set on a golf course. The closing holes are highlighted by the long par-3 17th, played to a narrow green visually shrunk by the railroad ties and water hazard that guard its front.

Review
“Great holes along the water. Back tees play very long and difficult. Greens all large and playable, but not a lot of variety of shapes and sizes. Bunkers ok condition. Challenging course but playable for average golfer."
