Course Overview
Elevated above the valley floor, the Mountain course is one of the more scenic places to play in La Quinta. Seven holes run parallel to the Santa Rosa Mountains. Among them are the short par-4 14th that plays over a riverbed on the approach, the par-5 15th tucked around a jutting slice of the mountain and the par-3 16th, one of Pete Dye’s forgotten island greens. As with most courses that bear the Dye name, there are generous applications of railroad ties and water hazards, with long angular bunkers reminiscent of TPC Sawgrass’ dictating strategy into the greens. Try to play early in the morning or late in the afternoon to see the prismatic colors reflect off the valley and surrounding vistas.
