#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.

What a treat!

This course starts off rather easy and lulls you to sleep and once you make it to the fourth hole, which is a par 5, hold on! You begin to play along the mountain and the scenery is second to none. Being in the fairway is a premium here. The back nine is the best part as you wind in and around the mountains. Especially the Par 5 15th and downhill par 3 16th over rocks. We played in a 2 club wind on the par 3 which made it next to impossible to hit this tiny green. What a great golf hole. Truly a great golf course!

Great courae

This might be one of my favorite PGA West courses. But the lack of cart service, on a very backed up back 9, left something to be desired.

👎🏼 greens

The greens were probably the worst I’ve ever played on - like crunch astroturf.

La Quinta mountain course.

Very frustrated and we had a confirmed reservation paid via visa to golf now and when we got to the golf course they didn’t have a tee time for us on the tee sheet..
After 1 hour of phoning to golf now and dealing with the golf course we got out but we had to pay for another tee time which is unexceptionable. I’m waiting for a refund however it’s going to less due to Canadian exchange,
Very fustrating and will think twice when booking golf now.

Greens just ok

Love the course the views but unfortunately waited on every single shot and the greens were unspectacular. Desert course usually have great greens. These were uneven and zig zagging all the way. Every hole was similar

Fairways are perfect.

Afternoon pricing is probably the best value currently in the desert. Overall course was in nice shape. The greens are green.....not much else to say other than, hard, bumpy and a little on the slow side. Fairways are top notch. Bunkers would be great with a little more maintenance. Some of the sand had a crust on it but there was sand in the traps. If you found yourself in one that had been raked that day the sand was very playable.Not far off, this will be in awesome shape. The greens are healthy enough to go shorter not sure why they don't, probably something to do with how hard the surface is. I heard the course was closed for a bit because of storm damage back in Sept. Probably why the conditioning is not what it usually is but the price more than makes up for it in the afternoons. Not super long but still a good challenge for low handicaps. I would say if you're playing around the time this is posted you're more than getting your money's worth.

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!

Greens were hard. Could not land and stay. Lumpy and lots of three puts. Hard to score well here as you have to lay up and short chip on.
