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.

Beautiful Course

Played as a single and got called to start earlier than my booked tee time with a threesome. Very slow pace of play with the group in front of us and ended up having the group behind us catch up after the turn. Played the last 3 holes in the dark.

scenic desert course

A challenging tee to green course. Yardage is deceptive as many holes have uphill shots into greens that require 1-2 clubs more. Not difficult greens to read as slope on most is not severe. Greens themselves show some wear and tear esp unrepaired ball marks. Definitely worth the money. Desert and mountain view’s good although some holes are next to housing developments that are less intrusive than other desert courses.

Challenging Mountain Course

Played the Mountain course for the first time this week. The course was in really good condition, very picturesque setting against the back drop of the San Jacinto mountains. Plenty of challenges navigating the desert, rocks and water that gets your attention throughout the round. This layout is fun, fair but demanding. I couldn’t quite find the lines on the tricky breaks that the greens offered up or appeared to be there but didn’t move the ball at all. The only draw back was the pace of play which really bogged down on the last 9, which has the most impressive holes of this course.
