Citrus Club at La Quinta Resort

Overview: The Citrus Club at La Quinta Resort is a spectacular and technical desert masterpiece designed by the legendary Pete Dye. Opened in 1987, the course is a model of Dye’s "strategic" philosophy, featuring narrow, lush fairways, majestic mountain backdrops, and Dye’s signature "railroad tie" bunkering. The layout meanders through a landscape of mature citrus groves and strategic water hazards, offering a quiet and professionally-managed round that balances historic charm with modern playability. Characterized by its impeccable conditioning and its quiet, "high-stakes" atmosphere, the Citrus Club provides a consistent and rigorous test of championship golf that has long been a cornerstone of the regional social and sporting community.
