Founded in 1966, Mission Viejo Country Club in south Orange County was one of a series of great designs from legendary golf course architect Robert Trent Jones, Sr., a list that included Pauma Valley CC, Spyglass Hill Golf Course, Valencia CC and what is now known as The SCGA Golf Course.
Originally dubbed “Mission Impossible” when it first opened, in large part due to the quintessential Trent Jones bunkers and undulating greens, Mission Viejo CC remains a stern challenge today, tipping out at 6,966 yards. When John Pate shot even-par 72 to win the 2005 SCGA Tournament of Club Champions scratch flight at MVCC, he was the only player to match par and finished two shots ahead of a field that included reigning California Amateur champion Don DuBois.
Participants in the SCGA Mid-Amateur Championship will be playing from 6966 yards (73.8/136). The total yardage the course utilizes from the blue tees is 6581 (72.2/133), white tees is 6163 (70.3/126) and red tees is 5607 (75.0/140).
PGA Tour player Mark O'Meara, who attended Mission Viejo High School, is an honorary member of the club.
