La Quinta Mountain: #15
#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.

I feel that if you played the course a few times you most likely would enjoy it more then if it was a once on vacation game. This course is a test, especially if one cannot hit a high ball into the green, if you cannot do that then it is a long day.

Not too long but with difficult green shots on mostly elevated small putting surfaces. Course was in excellent condition and pace of play was ok.

My favorite course in Coachella Valley

Maybe even my favorite course in the US. Trifecta golf- perfect conditions, interesting layout, challenging enough. The last few holes are epic so book tee time to ensure you can finish by dark.

Beautiful Course

Greens, fairways and bunkers were awesome. Not so sure about the pace of play and the late tee times sold as if 18 were possible and would have been had the pace been better. Facilities looked awesome but the lack of carts resulted in us not being able to get to the range even though we were checked in 1 hour before our tee time. Loved the course with the exception of the few holes through the houses on the back nine.

Bag Drop Issue

Course is beautiful,

We dropped our clubs off quickly and didn't get a chance to give the bag guy at the drop a tip. Went in and checked in at pro-shop. 10 minutes later we find out our bags aren't in the landing area with the carts and people going out to practice/play.

The place wasn't busy at all. The jerk at the bag drop decided since we didn't tip him right away to LEAVE our clubs at the bag drop, which you need to take a cart to get there. Same guy who when he saw we were there first at drop, intercepted 2 men carrying their bags in parking lot because he might lose a tip if they walked down the path.

not a great way to start a round at a beautiful course, but wanted to mention.
