Pasatiempo, designed by Alister Mackenzie, has long been a member of Golf Digest's Top 100 courses list. Mackenzie also designed the famed Cypress Point and Augusta National Golf Clubs. On October 5, 2010, it was the host course of the 2010 Stocker Cup Qualifier.

San Jose State University hosts a 54-hole men's college tournament. The Western is one of the most highly recognized national collegiate tournaments. It has been conducted since 1946 by Pasatiempo Golf Club, a historic venue where a player’s talent is always well-tested. Pasatiempo perennially ranks among the best by all major golf publications.

The format is slightly different from most college events. Six-player teams determine the team score by taking the best five scores each round.
