INTRODUCTION
There is no community in the Coachella Valley that occupies the same tier as The Madison Club. Developed by Discovery Land Company and opened in 2007, The Madison Club is a 500-acre private residential sanctuary in La Quinta, California that has become one of the most sought-after ultra-luxury addresses in the American West.
Entered off Avenue 52 directly across from the world-famous Empire Polo Club and Coachella Festival grounds, The Madison Club draws CEOs, celebrities, athletes, and high-net-worth families who demand absolute privacy, world-class golf, and a level of personal service that is virtually unmatched in the desert.
Private equity membership is capped at just 225 members. The golf course, designed by Tom Fazio and spanning more than 150 acres, is regarded as one of the finest private layouts in the country. A Mediterranean-style clubhouse, world-class spa, private movie theater, and on-course comfort stations serving tacos, sandwiches, and homemade ice cream round out an experience that is as warm and family-oriented as it is exclusive.
Despite its prestige, The Madison Club is known for a family-friendly, unpretentious community feel that sets it apart from other ultra-luxury clubs. Discovery Land Company, which also developed The Hideaway in La Quinta, brings that same philosophy of genuine hospitality and meticulous service to every aspect of life here.
