The Quarry at La Quinta

INTRODUCTION

There are few golf communities anywhere in the Coachella Valley that can match the raw, dramatic beauty of The Quarry at La Quinta. Tucked into the foothills between the Coral and Santa Rosa Mountains, The Quarry is one of the most private and secluded golf communities in the world, built around a championship course so extraordinary that Golf Digest ranks it #85 among America's 100 Greatest Courses (2025-2026) and #13 Best in State in California,making it the only Golf Digest Top 100 ranked course in the Southern California desert.

Established in 1994 with home construction beginning in 1997, The Quarry was built around a singular idea: that golf at its finest should feel like a completely natural experience. The result is a Tom Fazio-designed championship course that plays across three distinct elevations with a gradual elevation change of more than 400 feet, creating three entirely different playing environments within a single round. Seven holes on the quarry floor. Seven holes 80 feet above on the alluvial fan. Four holes at the peak with sweeping views across the entire Coachella Valley.

The 21,000 sq ft clubhouse is built directly into the wall of the original quarry itself, making it one of the most architecturally distinctive clubhouses in the country. The course has hosted legends including Tiger Woods, Arnold Palmer, and Payne Stewart.

With only 101 homes at build-out, no tee times ever required, and a membership capped at 300, The Quarry offers a level of exclusivity and intimacy that very few communities anywhere can match.
