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.

Twilight round

Enjoyed the course. It’s playable even with the mountains. Tee time 130, sunset 530 managed 15 holes. Course was full. Pace of play a little slow. Greens quite slow. Not sure if that’s because coming off hot weather but expected the greens a little faster. Otherwise, enjoyed it completely.

Diamond in the Desert

Fantastic golf course that has most challenging hole layouts. Outstanding condition of the course. Greens difficult to read. Friendly and helpful staff. The course is next to the mountains which provides for amazing views. A must play course in LaQuinta!

So good!!!

This may be the most beautiful (public) course in the Coachella Valley! There are a few holes in the middle that move away from the mountain, but for the most part the scenery is jaw-dropping, with holes 14-16 being truly unforgettable!

Great Round Except for Marshal

This is a great and very scenic course that I've played once before. But we had one very big complaint. The marshal criticized us on #14 for slow play because we ( a foursome) had gotten one hole behind the twosome ahead of us. It was cart path only and we finished the round in 4 hours, 10 minutes. We were not in any way playing slowly and the interaction with the marshal ticked us all off and threw us off our game. Unacceptable and unwarranted as far as I'm concerned. The only criticism we had of the course is that the greens were quite a bit slower than we expected. Other than that, the course and the amenities are top-notch.

We're sorry about your interaction with our Marshall, it's tough to gauge how quickly everyone is playing and you were clearly misjudged.
