Course was in typical late Summer Desert conditions. Pace of Play was very slow. Staff was extremely friendly. It is a wonderful layout. Happy to play for a good price.

Incredible Golf / Incredible Venue

Amazing staff, breathtaking views and fabulous course lay out. It’s definitely difficult enough for the avid golfer, but forgiving enough for the high handicappers too.

Must play!

I played this course in mid September on a Saturday so my experience was unique. Got a super deal on GN so I went for it. Teed off solo around 2 PM and played 2 balls at a casual pace. Had a traffic jam of players ahead of me and people pushing up from behind, so it was a little hectic. It was also very hot and a little smoky, but still doable.

The course is incredible. The layout is well done and the views at the base of the Santa Rosa mountains make you feel like you’re on Mars. Because of the time of year, it was a little brown and the greens weren’t as perfect as I imagine they are in winter, but I really didn’t care. Carts are new and modern with a nice GPS system and the staff was very easy going despite how busy they were. La Quinta Resort is right next door and it’s really nice, too. Definitely check this place out but be prepared to practice patience. It’s a slow pace of play but worth it.

What an amazing golf course in La Quinta. We played Dunes first then Mountain a day later. Mountain is by far a way better course with lay out and challenge. The greens were very slow and needed to be mowed. I know it’s summer time and all. But they weren’t in the best shape. I can only imagine how much better this course is in mid season. We liked it so much we are coming back in two weeks from San Diego to play it. This is a must play for everyone.

Fun summer golf

Paid a bit more for an early start than I would prefer, but worth it in heat. Mtn course is not long, very playable. I usually don't care for Pete Dye courses-repetitive, similar to each other, but Mtn course was distinctive and fun. Beautiful setting. Staff was great - friendly and helpful. Conditions were good for late summer. Greens weren't perfect, a little slow, but rolled pretty true. Good time overall.

Putting Greens

The course is a nice layout. The greens are horribly slow. Could not get in putting rhythm, you had to beat 7 footers to get to hole. For $85.00 and 105 temps expected better.

Expected more!

A couple months back we played the dunes course and it was in excellent shape. Wish I could say the same about this course. Pace of play was awesome, I think every one is trying to beat the heat so that helps. As far as condition and cost those do not match up. The greens are terrible they need to be rolled, and are extremely choppy. Fairways are decent at best. I’m sure this course can be beautiful just don’t know when. Enjoyed all the scenes from each tee box. Course layout is fun and challenging. Keep your eyes posted for better reviews and you will enjoy this desert gem.
