The Golf Club at La Quinta first opened for play in 2002. The course was designed by Gary Panks.
Par for the course is 72. From the back tees the course plays to 6883 yards. From the forward tees the course measures 4998 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 9, a par-5 that plays to 551 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 11, a par-3 that plays to 145 yards from the back tees.
Home of the 2003, 2004, 2005, and the 2006 PGA Tour LG SKINS , this 18-hole championship Southern California golf course has been tested and tried by professional golf players including Phil Mickelson, Fred Couples, Mark O'Meara, Annika Sorenstam and Tiger Woods.
Several sets of tee boxes, including the special Skins tees that play at nearly 7,200 yards, provide a length that is just right for your golf game. Dramatic water features and sand perils complement the golf course fairways, leading to the rolling greens. The natural California desert landscape of the surrounding Coachella Valley creates a boundary of play both beautiful and daunting.
