Omni La Costa Resort — North Course

• 🏆NCAA Division I Golf Championships Host 2024-2026 — NCAA

Dick Wilson opened the original North Course at La Costa in 1965, but the version that exists today is essentially a Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner build. The pair completed a $20+ million ground-up renovation in 2024, adding native areas, barranca corridors, and falloff areas around the greens — Hanse signatures meant to inject risk-reward into a layout that had drifted into resort-flat territory. The trigger for the renovation was the NCAA Division I Golf Championships, which La Costa is contracted to host in successive years from 2024 through 2026 (men's and women's). The aesthetic deliberately leans into classic Southern California course design — closer to Riviera or Bel-Air than the Tour-stop modernism the course had become known for during its PGA Tour years. Premium peak-season pricing puts it in the $$$ band with most other San Diego resort headliners.
