La Quinta Resort & Club

We knew that booking our group to play following a marquee tournament would be memorable but we left feeling jaded by the experience due to what we noted as lack of service-oriented staff coupled with poor communication and management. We expected better!

never received notice of frost delay; long delay to tee off made completing the round before darkness very challenging. never saw a marshal on the course to help with pace of play - which was close to 4 hours 50 minutes. never received a pin sheet making approach shots more difficult. However, course conditions and greens near perfect (only two days after Amex Tournament).

Course is beautiful but for average golfer the speed of greens and pin placements that day were disturbing

Unfortunately the group in front of us insisted on fishing for their balls out of all the ponds which slowed things down. They could see we were right behind them so wish they would just drop a ball and keep the pace moving.

It would be easier if they had a cart signs by the greens.

Couple holes we were about 50 -70 yards out and the alarms were going off too close???

Spectacular views, great conditions. It’s a ‘thinking’ course. Good challenge

Course was challenging and in good shape. Mountain views are beautiful. Saw a red tail hawk land 10 yds from a green I was putting on. Back nine pace of play was much slower. B

Spent the last two years in a wheelchair and was told to get one from three different people. Finally the starter asked if I had proof if I was handicapped. I told him yes but it was in my car in the handicapped spot in the parking lot.

I told him the lady at the desk had the flag by the cart guy. The lady at the desk upstairs said the starter had one.

The starter said the lady upstairs would never say that. I was hurt and depressed that I was starting my first vacation in the last four years being treated like a liar.

I called the pro and he didn’t answer so I left a message of my experience and it’s been nine days and no return phone call.

I plan on calling the GM of PGA West after the tournament this weekend. I know he is busy now.

The course was in good condition. I’m not a fan of Pete Dye courses. The elevated rock hard greens are difficult. The pace of play was over 5 hours. At one tee box we had 3 groups waiting on the tee. The golf carts were defective. A alarm in a cart in our group went off twice saying the cart was too close to the green when the cart never left the cart path. The alarm couldn’t be turned off and continued for5 minutes plus. It was extremely annoying. We were considering abandoning the cart and walking.

Not much of a type to leave a review but just wanted to say that this is a very fun course with many challenges to overcome.
