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.

Great course with stunning views.

We were a bit unlucky to play the Mountain in strong winds, which made the green approach shots even more difficult. This being said the course layout is great, the greens are typically Pete Dye like difficult, the maintenance was good as was the pace of play

Fast greens, great layout, slow play!

I find a big difference with pace of play from course to course in the area. The range seems to be from 3.5 to 4.5 hours. This was was closer to 4.5 hours which I find slow given it’s not an overly difficult course and everyone is riding in a cart. Unfortunately, this makes it hard to get 18 holes in if you tee off after 12:15-12:30pm.

Great course in great condition but SLOW!

This was a great golf course but the pace of play was horrible considering everyone is on a cart. We legitimately waited for at least 5 minutes on each hole - couple minutes before each shot. I think we finished in about 4 hours and 15 minutes and it was dark as we came off 18. In contrast, I played another comparable course the day before in 3.5 hours.

Waiting on each shot is a momentum killer for me.

Otherwise, fantastic golf course!

Dreamy

First time playing a PGA course, and probably my favorite round of golf. Would play there every week if I could. Friendliest starter I can remember meeting, course is kept in excellent conditions, the mountain scenery is to die for, other golfers were super nice. The Marshall was super nice, but super on it as far as keeping pace of play going. Next time, I’ll probably splurge next time to get all 18 holes in. 4 and half hours seems to be what you need.

Course in Great Condition

Started at 1:30 and finished hole 16 as sun going down. Really enjoyed our round due to weather, course condition and beauty of desert.

Course of play was slow as we got to hole 10.

Marshall’s were friendly and informative.

Will definitely play this course again.

lots of fun on challenging and scenic course

loved being able to walk over from La Quinta resort

nice practice areas but no grass where we were hitting from on range and its irons only as they had the tees up

got a very good rate on golf now and we were able to finish by the early sunset

greens went from slow to fast to slow so tough to putt

first five holes were watered so they played very soft

for the back nine you climb up into the mountain, cullminating in a signature 150 yard downhill par 3 to a postage stamp green

Spectacular

This is a must-play course! You play right through the middle of the mountains - at some points it looks like you're on a movie set - so surreal. Tough layout, excellent conditions. It was a real treat!

First of Many

First time on a PGA West course but been on several Dye courses. This was the top of the iceberg, thus far. Great layout, spectacular views. Greens were running at just the right speed, maybe even slightly slow.

Greens difficult to navigate

The greens were expanded in size since we last played there a few years ago with many undulations making it very difficult to read the greens. Greens fall off rapidly at the edges,like Donald Ross designed greens, so a pin location off center is usually a problem when you chip at the pin as opposed to the center of the green. I think the occasional golfer would get frustrated with the course. Clubhouse and carts has been updated.

Amazing course

This is a must play if you are in Palm Springs. Immaculate conditions and beautiful every direction. Only thing that was annoying was could not hit driver on the range and greens were a bit slow but otherwise AMAZING
