Golf trips at PGA West: where a group can stay

Overview

A golf trip to the Coachella Valley is mostly a planning problem: several friends, several tee times, and one place that sleeps everyone and is close to the first tee. A home in or near PGA West in La Quinta gives a group one address, a kitchen and a table to settle the day's scores.

This guide is for groups who have chosen PGA West and want help with the stay. It is not a guide to booking the golf.

Booking the golf is separate

The resort runs its own golf. Tee times, who may play which course, and any rules for visiting groups come from PGA West, so check its site before you fix your dates. We do not sell tee times and we have not confirmed who may book each course, so this guide says nothing about access.

Once the golf is settled, tell us the days you need the home and we will work around them.

Courses closing for overseeding

PGA West publishes a fall overseed schedule on its course updates page. Each course closes for about four weeks on its own dates and then plays cart-path-only for a few weeks, so the courses do not close all at once. If a course matters to your group, check its dates there before you choose your arrival day.

The resort's page gives no season window, so we do not state one.

Tournament week is a different trip

The Stadium Course and the Nicklaus Tournament Course host The American Express. If your group wants to watch the tournament rather than play, read our tournament stay guide instead.

Where to stay

For a golf group, consider the homes in and around PGA West and La Quinta. Our 12 homes here have two to four bedrooms and sleep six to ten guests, and each listing shows its exact occupancy.

About 72 hours before check-in we send your arrival instructions. Send us the names of every guest and driver ahead of time so we can register them with the PGA West gate, where the guard issues a parking pass to keep on the dashboard for the whole stay; missing passes can bring HOA fines. Check-in is from 4 p.m. and check-out is at 10 a.m. Ask us about early check-in or late check-out, which depends on availability and may carry a fee. Each listing shows its minimum stay.

Planning a group stay

1. Settle the golf with the resort and note the days you need.
2. Send your dates, guest count and bedroom needs through the concierge form.
3. If the group needs more than one home, ask us to review the arrangement before you book, and keep each home within its own maximum occupancy.

We reply with homes that fit and tell you what we cannot confirm.

House rules

Maximum occupancy: 10 guests in the largest home we suggest here. Each listing shows its own limit.

Quiet hours: 10:00 pm to 8:00 am, local time. Some communities start earlier, so follow your property’s instructions.

Parties and events are not permitted without written approval and must comply with property and booking-platform requirements.

Standard occupancy is two guests per bedroom, and homes with a living room can host up to two more within the listing limit. Contact us before booking for a larger group.

Questions before you book

Can you book our tee times?

No. Tee times come from the resort.

Are all the courses open?

It changes through the fall. The resort's schedule is the source, and we link it above.

Can a large group stay together?

It depends on the homes and their occupancy limits. Send your numbers and we will tell you what fits.
