Set at the base of the majestic Santa Rosa Mountains of Palm Desert, California, this 18-hole championship Southern California golf course is a Gary Panks design that ensures a round of attentive decision-making for players of all skill levels. At 7,144 yards from the Skins Tees, with a slope/rating of 74.1/131, you will quickly learn if you made the right choice to go for it, as the risk-reward paradigm is very much alive here at The Golf Club at La Quinta. However, in the relaxed spirit of Southern California, no worries — if those numbers aren’t your speed, you will easily find something to fit your game given the seven additional tees to choose from.

As you grace the course with your presence, keep in mind that you're walking the same ground as some of the game's greats: The Golf Club at La Quinta has been tested and tried by big-time professional golfers, including Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Fred Couples, Adam Scott, Annika Sorenstam and Mark O'Meara, particularly as the host of the 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 PGA Tour SKINS GAME events.

As you make your way through the golf course you will come across dramatic water features and sand perils that complement the lush, green fairways. Your approaches will be played into receptive, smooth-rolling greens. Let the natural California desert landscape of the surrounding Coachella Valley take hold of your sense of sight and touch to create a boundary of play both beautiful and daunting.
