What We Love

PGA West

We like PGA West for its precision. The golf is serious, but the life around it stays easy. Mornings begin on the course, the Santa Rosa Mountains hold the light, and by late afternoon the whole place softens into a slower rhythm. Guests may come for tee times and tournament history, but they stay for pool hours that turn into evening, dinner in Old Town La Quinta, and the kind of desert calm that feels earned. Our homes here are for guests who want that balance. Strong golf, warm winter sun, and a stay that still feels personal.

The Destination

The Course That Changed What Golf Could Be

PGA West is the resort that established La Quinta as a destination of consequence. Not merely a desert escape, but a place serious enough to host a PGA Tour event for more than four decades. The six courses here span every calibre of challenge, but it is Pete Dye's Stadium Course that gives the property its identity: angular, uncompromising, and genuinely difficult even for professionals.

The Coachella Valley receives over 350 days of sunshine annually, and PGA West manages that gift better than most. Mornings are cool enough for two loops, afternoons for everything else. The private community of fairway-facing homes and resort-managed residences was planned with sight lines in mind. Almost every terrace faces either the course or the mountains, and frequently both. Guests return, season after season, not for novelty but for the specific quality of winter light at 3 p.m. on the 17th hole.

In 1987, Pete Dye stood at the edge of a flat desert parcel in La Quinta and told the developers he intended to build an island green reachable only by boat. The 17th hole of the Stadium Course, one of the most photographed par-3s in professional golf, is the result. Jack Nicklaus, who played the inaugural American Express Classic that same year, reportedly called the course "the hardest golf course I have ever seen." Dye replied that he wasn't finished. The Stadium Course has since hosted over 30 PGA Tour events and remains a test that humbles scratch players and professionals alike.

Local Treasures

Things our guests love to do

A few of the moments that travel home with people, beyond the tee times. Scroll across. There's more than one way to spend a desert afternoon.

PGA West Stadium Course in golden afternoon light

Late afternoon

The 17th hole at golden hour

The most photographed par-3 in professional golf turns rose-gold around 3 p.m. in winter. Walk it, watch a group play it, or just sit at the lake bar and let the light do the work.

Old Town La Quinta

A short drive

Old Town La Quinta

Six minutes off-property and the entire pace of the day shifts. Dinners that run long, an artisan market on Sunday mornings, and the kind of small-town main street that feels deliberate.

Desert canyon landscape near PGA West

Worth the early start

Andreas Canyon hike

The Indian Canyons reservation opens early in the cooler months. A two-mile loop along a real desert stream, palm groves shading the trail, and the valley spread out behind you on the way back down.

Desert morning at PGA West

A slower kind of morning

Sunrise yoga at the resort

Most resorts hold the morning class on a deck above the desert floor. Forty-five minutes, the mountains warming behind you, and the day starts in a register most travel weekends never reach.

Coachella Valley date palm grove

Worth the detour

A drive to Shields Date Garden

Twenty minutes west, in Indio: a working date farm running since 1924, a date shake that has its own small mythology, and a garden walk no one warned you would be that good. Skip the gift shop, find the back orchard.

Desert evening sky over PGA West

After dark

Stargazing past the foothills

Drive twelve minutes south of the resort and the sky opens up. The Coachella Valley sits between two mountain ranges that block coastal light, so the stars on a clear winter night carry weight you forget exists in cities. Bring a blanket; the desert cools fast.

Wonderful peacefull and relaxing time

We had a wonderful peacefull and relaxing time. The beds were all very comfortable and accommodations were great with plenty of beds for all. Kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. The pool was beautiful and the kids really enjoyed.
The arcade games were an added bonus and TV's in every room! The pool is much better than the photos!

Best experience I've ever had

I stay in this compound for Coachella and Christmas. This was the best experience I've ever had. The host was always really quick to respond and accommodating. They allowed me to have a late check out and always check on me to see if everything was OK. The security was also really cool. I've had the worst experiences staying in this compound PGA West, but this stay by far was the best.

Great spot with everything we could ever need!

Great spot with everything we could ever need! Not sure if it was fluke or just summer, but we never saw a single golfer on the fairway by the house. It was so quiet and beautiful. The kids had a great time. A few notes: there is both a Keurig and regular coffee pot, the pool base is a pebble texture so you might want to wear water shoes or risk some tore up toes, and the rental company is incredibly responsive if you need anything during your stay, so be sure to reach out with any questions or needs.

The view is beautiful and it was peaceful

We had an amazing stay! Definitely pictures don't do justice. The view is beautiful and it was peaceful. We spent most of the time in the pool and spa, which was so relaxing. They were flexible with our check in time, which we appreciate. Always responded my messages with any questions. The house smelled so good when we walked in. The rooms were clean and very spacious. I loved the kitchen and living room because you had the best outdoor views. Overall we were very pleased with our stay and would definitely come again!! Thank you 😊

Before You Book

PGA West FAQs

A few things guests ask us most often before they choose their stay.

Is PGA West only for golfers?

Not at all. Golf sets the rhythm here, but many guests come for winter sun, pool afternoons, quiet mornings, dinners in La Quinta, and the feeling of having the mountains close all day. PGA West works well for golfers, couples, families, and longer seasonal stays.

Is pool heating included with the home?

Pool heating is not automatically included. At homes where it is available, it is offered as an optional add-on and additional heating fees apply. The amount varies by property, and we will always let you know the exact cost in advance.

Are the golf courses included with our stay?

No. Golf at PGA West is not automatically included with your reservation. There are resort courses that can be booked with paid tee times, along with private courses reserved for club access. If golf is a priority for your trip, we recommend securing tee times as early as possible.

How far in advance should we book tee times?

Earlier than you think. Prime morning times move first, especially in winter and around tournament season. Once your stay is confirmed, it is worth booking your golf plans right away.

Where are the best restaurants near PGA West?

For a more polished dinner, we often point guests toward Morgan's in the Desert. For an evening in Old Town La Quinta, RD RNNR, DSRT CLUB, and The Grill on Main are good places to start. If you tell us what kind of night you want, date night, lively dinner, easy lunch after a round, or something more local, we can point you in the right direction.

What is the best time of year to stay in PGA West?

PGA West comes into its own from late fall through spring, when the days stay sunny and the evenings still feel good outdoors. This is when golf, dining outside, and longer desert mornings all make the most sense. It is also when many guests return year after year.

Are your homes close to Old Town La Quinta?

Many of our homes place you inside PGA West with easy access to Old Town La Quinta, the resort courses, and the wider valley. Once you have a property in mind, we can tell you exactly how it sits in relation to golf, dining, and the mountains.

Are these homes a good fit for families and groups?

Yes. PGA West works especially well for group trips because the days open up naturally. Some guests golf, others swim, rest, or head into town, and everyone still comes back together for the evening. It also suits longer winter stays very well.

Can we walk or bike around PGA West?

That depends on the specific home and community, but many guests enjoy morning walks, neighborhood loops, and easy bike rides inside the PGA West setting. If walkability matters to you, we can help you choose a home that fits that style of stay.

Are pets welcome at PGA West homes?

Several of our PGA West homes welcome pets, with a small additional cleaning fee. We can filter to pet-friendly homes when we help you choose, and there are quiet morning loops and shaded grass areas inside the community that suit a stay with a dog.

What is your cancellation policy?

Plans change, and a thoughtful cancellation policy is part of how we look after every guest. Terms vary by home and by season, so the policy that applies to your stay is shown in full on the reservation page when you begin a booking for any Everyday Luxury Curated listing. You can also read it in advance on our cancellation policy page (opens in a new tab). If your dates need to move, reach out early and we will do everything we can to reschedule or re-accommodate.

Can you help us choose the right PGA West home?

Yes, and that is one of the most valuable parts of booking with us. Some guests want fairway views. Others want stronger pool privacy, easier golf access, or a quieter position for a longer winter stay. We can help you find the right fit.

How do new owners join the Everyday Luxury portfolio?

We are honoured by every home we steward, and grateful to the owners who continue to choose us. If you own a property at PGA West (or anywhere in the Coachella Valley) and want to learn more about how we look after homes, our team would love to hear from you.
