Played TGC@La Quinta on Jan. 1 on a gorgeous desert day with temps near 70* and a slight breeze. Was able to get member rates, $55 included breakfast or lunch plus range balls. Went off on time and played in under 4 hrs.
The course is in great shape, tee to green. Pristine fairways and rough, bunkers had some rocks but were very playable. Greens firm and fast, like glass, and you had to play for some roll out or else you're off the back of the green.
Four sets of tee boxes to choose from, friendly staff, and nice clubhouse.
The areas outside the rough has been cleared out (per the previous review) and designated Environmental but you can still play it from there with no penalty. It used to be bushes and shrubs and a lost ball, so it's actually a good idea to keep people moving. And it's still called the Golf Club at La Quinta.
Recommended if in the area.
