Omni La Costa Resort and Spa is a luxury destination hotel located in Carlsbad, California, and is owned by Omni Hotels & Resorts, based out of Dallas, Texas. The resort is known for its golf courses and its location in the San Diego area hills. Every year around late July-early August, the resort hosts an international WTA Tour affiliated women's professional tennis tournament, the Southern California Open. Omni La Costa Resort and Spa is a member of Historic Hotels of America, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and is also home to the annual La Costa Film Festival.
La Costa served as a home to two notable PGA Tour events. For thirty years, the resort hosted the Mercedes Championships (originally called the Tournament of Champions), from 1969 to 1998. That event left for Maui, Hawaii, when La Costa was selected to host the inaugural WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship in 1999. It hosted that event for seven of eight years (the 2001 event was played in Australia), until it moved to Arizona in 2007. In 2010 and 2012, the resort hosted the Kia Classic, an LPGA tour event with an estimated attendance of 43,000 in 2010.
