La Quinta: California’s Golf Oasis

La Quinta Resort & Club is the original desert oasis, offering 90 holes of championship PGA WEST golf, 41 pools, and iconic Spanish Colonial luxury beneath the Santa Rosa Mountains.

The Original Desert Oasis

La Quinta Resort & Club is the ultimate American luxury destination, often cited as the place that created the Palm Springs resort experience. Established in 1926, this legendary retreat is a sprawling, 45 acre sanctuary set dramatically against the majestic Santa Rosa Mountains. Its architecture is stunning, featuring whitewashed, hacienda style casitas and low rise buildings clustered around gardens and pools, evoking a sense of history and intimacy that contrasts beautifully with the modern desert setting. For the golfer, it serves as the accommodation gateway to the prestigious PGA WEST complex, offering unparalleled access to five championship courses designed by the biggest names in the game.

Unparalleled 90 Hole PGA WEST Access

The major draw of staying at La Quinta is the seamless, priority access to its five world class championship courses, which are officially part of the PGA WEST complex. This incredible collection offers 90 holes of diverse, challenging golf. The centerpiece is the infamous Pete Dye Stadium Course, known for its unrelenting difficulty, the nerve wracking island green 17th hole, and its history as an annual PGA TOUR host. Beyond the Stadium, guests can play the beautiful Pete Dye Mountain Course, known for its dramatic rock formations and elevated tee boxes, and the challenging Jack Nicklaus Tournament Course, a strategic masterpiece that rewards bold play. The Greg Norman Course and the Dunes Course round out the collection, ensuring a fresh, unique challenge every day.
