Logistical Notes

Mission Hills Country Club is located in Rancho Mirage, California, approximately 15 minutes from Palm Springs International Airport (PSP). The Westin Rancho Mirage, next door, has provided a preferred rate – reservations are available via the CayugaClassic.com website. We recommend arriving on Thursday afternoon to enjoy the full weekend experience.

Non-golfers have full access to all social and educational programming — Thursday reception, Friday dinner and panel, Saturday breakfast and keynote, and Saturday's Awards Gala. It is a complete weekend, with or without clubs.

This is a Cornell Hotel Society event, but it is open to all industry friends and supporters.

Early bird pricing closes on July 4, 2026. After that, standard pricing applies.
