#15 on La Quinta's Mountain is laying along the base of the mountains - stay tight to the base and go for this par 5 in two. The green stays snug up against the base and will not be in full view.

Made in the shade

Good track , convienant to stay at the La Quinta resort. Not much shade to hide from the sun in morning - mid afternoon. Early morning tee times will have your driving shots directly into the sun - keep it straight ! Late afternoon tee time best to enjoy the setting sun behind the beautiful mountain range that envelopes the course , and cheaper rate. Prime time tee times are $10-25 more than the Norman course ( at time of this post ) which is only a 7 minute drive from resort. And in my opinion a greener , more challenging track with more shade near tees and greens too! Yes I know it's the desert , but a little shade goes a long way. Enjoy

Terrible Greens

Played here a few times before. Starter said greens were very fast. Got on course and greens were slow and in terrible condition. Sprinklers were coming on the entire day soaking the areas around us. Overall course condition was not good. Won’t be back for a couple years.

Beautiful, challenging but not punitive

One of the coolest back nines I've played. holes wander through foothills with nobody else nearby and view of the Coachella Valley. Course has more rough that is playable than most desert courses, so it's playable if you're a mid handicapper. Lots of undulations and level changes. Greens were especially hard and bumpy when we played. Clubhouse and staff were great. I'd put this on your list!

Always have loved this course, but the new greens are as hard as cement.

Course under repair

I love this course, but the rains last year did major damage to the course. They are still getting it bacck in shape. If you played here in the past, 2024 might not live up to your expectations. But it will be back!

Beautiful course, but typical Dye confusion on front nine

The course was beautiful, with the typical Pete Dye confusion on the front nine. First timers should be warned to get a yardage book, as the front nine has craters and bumps that conceal the correct way to play it.
Fairways were perfect, but the greens were ugly and spotty, not up to the same expected standard.

Pace of play in back is an issue

Beautiful surroundings, new greens very hard to hold approach shots. We were doing great pace wise then ground to a halt on #10.
