doesn’t get any better

This was my first time playing in palm desert. I usually goto Scottsdale once a year to play golf but I found out that great courses were a lot closer to home then I thought. Palm desert offers everything Scottsdale does. I will be back again.

The course has great views

No rakes in sand traps and no towels provided. Marshall on the front 9 helped keep golfers moving but slowed down again on a the back.

Great course with great views

First time playing course. Tough greens if you are not accurate with your approach. Really well taken care of and staff was friendly and on top of slightly slow pace of play. Putts roll really true on this course. Some/most of the views on the back 9 are amazing!

La Quinta Mountain Course

We enjoyed the front 9 very much, however we were unable to complete the back 9 because it was so slow and backed up.

We hope to have the opportunity to play the entire course in the future.

Unbelievable

Everything from the range to the 18th green is insanely well thought out. Great range with a view. 4 hour round at twilight, silent out in the mountains. What an impressive golf course. It is not a long golf course at all, but very challenging approach shots with elevated/tight greens. Not a lot of room for error. Off the tee it is very welcoming and enticing. 14, 15, 16, 17 is the best stretch of golf holes I’ve played. I also enjoyed the front 9 very much. Conditions are fantastic. Greens are firm but relatively slow while putting which was surprising. Overall, 9.5/10 for me.
