La Quinta Resort & Club

Typical resort course. Drive through tons of homes. Easy fairways to hit off the tee. Stay down the middle on next shot. Challenging greens. Fairways favor a trap shot. If you are a sweeper, you're dead....wiry grass will catch your club every time... Pace was miserable - had to wait on group ahead every shot. EVERY shot. People behind waiting on us so you feel pressured. Sometimes 2 groups ahead waiting. Weekday? 231 starts - "busiest day ever." Was merciful that we didn't finish. Best part was the staff -- they're fantastic! Courteous, professional, friendly, helpful. Probably a decent course for people who pay the big bucks and tee off at 8am...

With over-seeding leaving few courses are playable this time of year. The name PGA Moiuntain Course is a mis-conception. This is NOT PGA quality in any way except tee-time management. Afternoon play was very slow; be prepared for learners not ready for hole-by-hole play.

Real and fair test of golf - course might not have been at its very best but was most enjoyable!

Mild undulations and inclined to roll towards the water but generous fairway width.

Mostly large greens that were true and running at ten speed.

My criticism and that of fellow players was that we had no opportunity to complete the round at a 3.18pm tee time- slow play (41/2 hr expected) and poor light ( from sunsetting behind mountains) had us finish 14 holes !!

Slow play should be monitored and late Tee times restricted!

Later Tee times should be allowed with the course giving much reduced fees and clearly stipulating that groups will be unable to finish.

I would play the course again !

Course in good shape and greens were @ good. A little slow pace due to other course over-seeding.

The golf course itself is fantastic. But I’ve never, in 30 years of playing, had a slower round of golf. We started at 1:00. We made the turn at 3:45. We played the last 3 holes in the dark and ended at 6:45. They do nothing to keep the pace reasonable. I was planning to play here twice during my trip, but canceled my second tee-time. The staff here should get a clue that THEY control the pace of play. If they don’t do it, golf is not enjoyable for any of their guests. They should refund me the $220.

I was playing as a single, and paired up with some really great guys from Scotland. The only t-time available was at 1:00 pm. The staff assured me that was plenty of time. It was not. We waited and waited on every hole. The front 9 took 2 hours & 45 minutes. We saw the marshal once on the front. He apologized for the slow pace and said they were fully booked. The back 9 was no better. We got done at 6:40 in the dark. Not only was the pace slow, but the beverage cart came around once on the front 9 holes, and stops serving at 4:00… so we didn’t see her at all on the back 9. At over $200 per round of golf, this was a real disappointment. I’ve never had such a slow round of golf.

My wife and I played here and found it an amazing experience. Lots of fun fairways, challenging terrain and beautiful views. Very very good course!

Only real downside was no GPS in the carts. For out of towners it’s not a deal breaker but not everyone brings a scope or their golf watch. Regardless it was nice overal. The golf carts are low key fast. Loved them and so did my sons.

Very enjoyable course in great condition. Tricky greens but fair. Great layout for any handicap.

Fun course, pace of play was extremely slow. 5 hour rounds and constant waiting at Tee boxes.

The course has a fun set up and the conditions were solid, but the greens were slower than anticipated.

The course was designed extremely well and the raised greens made the course very challenging. It was nice you weren’t having to play target golf. Only on a few holes. The golfers who come to play the course come to play as the rate of play was excellent.
