La Quinta at Quail Valley Golf Course

Nice open fairways. Fairways in good shape. Greens needs some attension from the green keeper.

course was in average condition; lots of bugs flying around; didn't like the fact there was a six person group in front of us and we were only a twosome

I played bad but would have putted better if the greens were in better shape.

Course was in good shape, a little wet but challenging still. Greens could use a little work around the edges.

1st time at Quail - played the La Quinta course. Nothing too negative to say except for green conditions which were bumpy and missing grass on perimeter. Would have to say it is a good draining course since conditions were pretty dry considering the mass of rain from day before.

Course is fairly enjoyable and certainly play worthy but imo not at holiday rate prices which were pretty inflated today.

There are 2 courses to choose from we went with LaQuinta they're about the same in quality and play. Great course lay-out, with some tricky green placements. Lots of hazards around the green, not so much in the fairways. The fairways on some of the holes could use a little attention. On some there;s quite a few bumps which make the valleys in-between them hold water when it rains. The pro shop is well stocked and the staff is courteous. Now for after your round you must go to the restaurant after, the food is great. If you go during lent, they have a fish special on Friday and only on Friday that is top notch. Sometimes the pace can be very slow but overall its an enjoyable course to play.

For the time of year the course (Tee boxes and fairways) was in excellent condition and compared with the other course in the area it is miles better. Staff in the Pro Shop and the starter friendly and helpful.

Only thing that let the course down was the greens but considering the time of year they were okay and a lot better than than other local courses.

Only time I’ve been unhappy at Quail Valley is on a Friday when you can get stuck behind the locals around lunchtime (they go off in 4s and 5s & I’ve seen a group of 6) and now you’re looking at a 5 hour round. Check to see which course they are on that Friday, El Dorado or La Quinta, and play on the other one otherwise bring your breakfast.

Some of the holes don’t drain well so you can have “cart path only” if it’s rained heavily in the past 2 or 3 days.

Greens still a bit frost damaged but getting better, rolling a bit slow. Pace was ok for a Saturday. Staff always great.

I had never played the La Quinta course as all my friends like the El Dorado course when we play at Quail Valley. Based solely on my friends’ thoughts...my expectations were low. Since I got a Hot Deal on GolfNow, I figured what the heck.

The layout is a little quirky, but the wide-open fairways are extremely forgiving. The drink cart came around almost every 3-4 holes and was super friendly. My only complaint was that the greens were a little shaggy and they had just put down fertilizer which made putting difficult. It’s that time of year, so there isn’t much you can do about it. Overall, great price, fun course, extremely nice staff and good experience!

Apparently there was an octogenarian mini tournament booked ahead of us. The final group in front of us was extremely slow. Never heard of “ready gold” either. Frustrated to the point a good front nine was ruined and I left after 13 holes. Would’ve been over 5 1/2 hours if I continued.

Overall the course is in good shape wide open fairways which is a nice change of pace. There is plenty of water on this course as well. The greens however look like they might’ve had some disease, so there are some bare spots in areas that are kind of rough on the greens. With warmer weather coming hopefully the greens will fill in. Some greens were pretty slow others were a little faster it was hard to judge how hard to hit your putt.

Not sure if the constant rain made the areas of the course into poor conditions.

The greens had spotty areas of sand that was not grass.

The greens were not quick may not have been mowed right. So we’re on the slow. There was areas where there was still water on the course and soft areas. Tee boxes were spotty in areas. Not much grass. Some tee areas were on a slant. Not a very flat area to tee off from. Most sand traps both fairway and green side were pretty well manicured.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The range balls were not all cleaned. There was mud on a a handful of the range balls. The quality of the balls were not the best. Some were not even range balls.

Hopefully, some of these problems was due to all the rain.

Hopefully the greens will grow back and the greenskeepers can mow the greens to run the greens to closer to a 10 on the stimpmeter.

It is extremely slow always waiting and while waitlng to heist the group behind you hits into us a couple of times. The excuse they gave was I didn’t think I could hit that far. The green wasn’t in good shape. Would recommend place the other course but it cost a little more for the money. They said they have a lot of rain.

Nice course. Too wet. Fair condition. Will play again when dry.

I've played this course(Quail Valley-La Qunita) many times and enjoy playing it, however on Saturday, March 02, the course was too wet on every hole for enjoyment. Being that I'd booked through golfnow I couldn't cancel. Personally I think when the course is in such condition I should be able to get a rain check.
