La Quinta at Quail Valley Golf Course

First time playing this layout and really enjoyed. Greens had been worked on so not in great shape at moment. Course makes you think before every shot which I appreciate. Staff were very friendly

Overall the course is in great shape. Fairways were good but the 2nd cut was really deep and made it difficult ti even find a ball if you got a few feet out if the fairway. The greens were really heat struck and fuzzy so it made putting not the norm.

Practice green was in good shape, but course greens were bumpy with several bad spots. Fairways were extremely bumpy. Cart paths need to be redone.

Great staff and pace of play. Greens on this course once were better.

Course was great. Pace of play was a bit slow due to some confusion around cart path only on some holes versus all. Nice mix of difficulty.

They should not have opened the course if they know..it takes few days for rain water to evaporate. Yes..there is no infrastructure where rain water it drained out...its completely flooded and waste of money...they just wait for Sun god to help them evaporate water from everywhere..every single sand bunker was flooded..anything non fairway was all flooded.

Pros:

Friendly staff

Pace of play

Marshall and beverage cart passed multiple times during my round

Decent layout

Cons:

This course holds water way too much. We did get a lot of rain yesterday but I know other courses in the area don’t retain water like this. I would say 16/18 holes were almost unplayable because of this.

Range closed I assume because it’s flooded.

Cart path only because of water.

My biggest issue was not the water but I don’t understand how this course is rated so highly. The fairways are almost completely dead, the greens look like they got aerated 1-2 weeks ago and haven’t recovered. The course is quite frankly in pretty bad condition. Even the rough is very patchy.

Even at $25 I wouldn’t play this course again anytime soon. As it was my first time and the staff/pace of play was great I’ll give it another shot in the fall maybe. If the course was in as good of shape as cinco or memorial it would be a 4-5 star course.

When you arrive you'll notice the staff is concerned with having fun amongst themselves and will not take the time to really help you. Also while a public course, ,the staff's friends go in front of you or get their way on their course. While the foresome in front of me had 2 holes in front of them open, the ranger said he could not talk to them. If you can find another course go there; otherwise just be ready to have patience.

Got rained out before we could get started. The pro shop said to call now and let them know and they would call the pro shop to verify and we should get a refund since we never started but there was know way to talk to someone at golf now. When you call you only get the automated system. So if anyone can help please do. Thanks

I enjoy both courses here. Staff have been very friendly. Seen a few examples of bad behaviour by golfers not repairing pitch marks and such but it’s nice layout with more room for error than ElDorado course. Hot deals are a great value when you can get them.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Course has a nice layout and player friendly. Great day of golf for great value.

Wonderful experience at La Quinta. Visiting my daughter and had a day to play and La Quinta was very accommodating. I played as a single and staff was friendly and helpful to get me going. Course is in great shape other than greens had been aerated about a week ago. Will definitely play again!

The course has its pros and cons; but there was no heads up on the aerated greens, like come on. The fairways were in rough shape too. Based on other courses on GOLFNOW, you can find better for the same price.. I’ll play here again but will make sure to call ahead before booking a tee time.

Aerated greens, rough fairways, guys mowing over my golf ball and close to where we were hitting. It wasn't a good round. I will return, but not anytime soon.
