4. Journey at Pechanga
Temecula, Calif.

Journey at Pechanga, an Arthur Hills creation spearheaded by Hills' partner Steve Forrest, is layered with architectural gambits.
Some succeed more than others, but the result is an unforgettable romp through Southern California's wine country at the upscale Pechanga Resort & Casino.
The driveable 488- yard, par-4 6th hole — yes, you read that correctly, driveable — plummets 18 stories from tee to fairway. The fun continues with an oak tree in the middle of the 7th fairway, a punchbowl green at the 10th, and a Biarritz green with its characteristic vast hollow in the middle at the 18th. If you're the kind of golfer who's looking for unparalleled variety with a splash of quirk, your journey ends here.
