La Quinta Resort & Club

The course condition is so good, but staffs in cart storage are not kind.

Nice course, started with my drive in the lip of the bunker, got out, double bogeyed and played rest of my round 6 over. Tough course if you can’t hit fairways and hit 8 and 9 irons very high and land them soft. The greens are very true and fast. Got out of the deepest bunker in the world in one and bogeyed the hole, parred the signature par 3. Great views and beautiful course…

Great layout - challenging course, good conditions for the middle of summer.

Everything was good until I made the turn, the amateur I was playing with not to mention she was beating the breaks off of me at -2 to +5, had her mother putting tees where the pin placement is going to be for the tourney. A marshal rolled up and asked are you all good do you need some water, we replied no and he rolled off, we both got a par and headed to the carts, back rolled the marshal saying hey you you are not supposed to be playing, I said they moved me up 9 minutes to join the 12:00 group, he replied you are not supposed to be playing, I said I paid to play 18 holes and I’m playing 18 holes, I turned and headed to put my putter on my separate cart, so he turned to my partners mother and said the same thing, she told him she was just marking the pin placements, he asked did her did you pay to play, she said no, he said your not supposed to be on the golf courses, she said I always do this, then he told her she needed to stay on the cart, so I proceeded back and asked him where did he get I’m not support be playing from and I have a bag and a cart, he then said I don’t know, it shows yall group a 3some and you’re not support be playing, I said you’re not making any sense, I then said I know what this is about about three times and proceeded to the next tee. I think he associated me being an eastern Indian and assumed I was the amateur’s father, because we were the same color. Which isn’t cool at all! 4 hole later he comes back around asking do you all need water are you sure???

Played on Father’s Day. We were waiting for the group in front of us on 2 and 3. A family of 4. Three guys played from the tips and hit 7+ shots a hole. We called the pro shop on 4 as we were holding up the group behind us on every hole. The Marshall came out and was so rude. We politely asked if he had spoken to the group in front of us and he rudely put his hand up, motioning for us to stop talking, and told us the pace of play is 4.5 hours and they were on that pace. We politely walked away, knowing that this one group, and our rude Marshall, would make this round crawl for the next few hours. We proceeded to pull up to this group, who were still on the tee box on every hole, which backed everyone up all day. The group could have simply said “hey we are playing a bit slow and have a casual round if you want to play through.” The Marshall could have also suggested it. Instead it just killed the pace. Stadium can be a fun course but no course is fun when it’s managed like this. The icing was the 17th Alcatraz hole. When we finished the par 5 16th, the family was slowly pulling up to hit their 3rd shots (drops after not clearing the water from the tips). They took 20 minutes to clear the hole. Brutal. They then didn’t even put the flag back in. But hey, the Marshall did bring us cold towels.

Pace of play was slow for the season and it was hot, but the course is very fun and adventurous.

First off...obviously it was hot. Bring water...and towels to keep wet and cool off often. Starter warned us that this would be a tough course...and he was right. Greens were almost clown golf with all the undulations. Had a grest time before during and after.

We played here for my wife’s birthday and even though it was hot that day. The personnel at the course helped is hydrate and give us water althroughout the round. In addition, ladies at the restaurant and at the snack turn helped us get our snacks

My wife and I played and afternoon round here last week. Couldn't beat the price. The layout is a typical Pete Dye Challenge with extra tricks. The conditions were understandably off because the Stadium is scheduled to be closed in few weeks for overseeding. The only knock would be the foursome of "Bro's" ahead of us playing from the Black tees. Painful! I am not sure they could play the back tees from a put-put course let alone the Stadium... After six holes we jumped them. turned into a much better round. No Ranger. Only gripe.

Greens were well maintained for hot summer weather (105 degrees). Staff were phenomenal on rounding and making sure that their guests are well hydrated with bottled water.

While not a long course it is one of the best tests of golf in the Coachella valley

We teed off at 330p in June so the temps were in the triple digits but the big advantage to that was we were able to finish our round in 3h30m.

Marshall had plenty of water every time he came around and even some frozen towels which we essential to staying cool. Challenging course but fun overall. Alcatraz on 17 is intimidating.

Amazing value for a twilight round.

Great course overall. Had a 4 party 6:36 tee time on sunday june 8. Overall slow day lots of time slots were available. I know its technically my responsibility or the golfers. The couple that was paired with us got heat sickness night before, even at 6:30 in the morning the temperatures are already reaching 80° and 110 degrees by 12. when I walked into the pro shop and told the two ladies this they said I still have to pay for all 4 times. I paid for all four tee times, was going to just players 1-2 and my partner just 3, but there were club members behind us so we were at twosome and kept pushing up. So couldn’t even do that. but overall, the course is great will manage. Everything was fantastic. Just the two ladies at the pro shop were not helpful at all.

If your in La Quinta, this is a fun course to play. Pete Dye, PGA West course. Greens are very tough. Fairways are wide. Beautiful views. Staff was polite and professional. Very nice experience.

Course was in great shape. Driving range was awesome. Overall great value.
