The Hideaway Club, La Quinta; Coming Soon!

The Hideaway Club, La Quinta, California will be offering a spectacular Custom, single family home for sale.  This will be the only Southwest Facing home for UNDER $3,000,000!  Located on one of the most unique lots  in the club because there is only one neighbor..the Hideway has graciously provided, and maintains, a very large rolling Berm to the North.  Not only does that make this corner home site feel MUCH larger, but it also provides an extraordinary buffer providing the homeowners with privacy.  To top it off this berm has HOA maintained flowing streams and waterfalls.  Pretty unusual on a golf course!

Madison Club; La Quinta Market Update:  The Madison Club in La Quinta is THE Club if you’re looking for super exclusive, and ultra secure.  A private community centered in our Eastern Valley surrounded by dramatic desert mountains.   The Mediterranean style clubhouse offers incredible views..as well as food that will impress anyone.  There are even five clubhouse suites which provide luxury accommodations for short term visits by members and their guests.  Discovery Land Company, which is also developing the neighboring Hideaway Golf Club, has a reputation of turning out High Class, Luxury Resorts, and The Madison Club is definitely one of them!

La Quinta Community of The Quarry – Market Report

LA QUINTA’S GOLD MINE OF A GOLF CLUB – THE QUARRY

La Quinta's Golf Community - The Quarry . . . One of Golf's Finest

The Quarry at La Quinta offers an exclusive desert lifestyle

La Quinta’s golf community The Quarry is quite unique… and there are many reasons why it has been recognized by Travel and Leisure Magazine as one of America’s top golf communities. If you’ve ever visited The Quarry, you would immediately understand.  Its picturesque location, nestled in a cove at the base of the Coral and Santa Rosa Mountains on an old mining site, creates an allure and feeling of total exclusivity, privacy and security. This is where Native Americans roamed and the Old West once flourished.  Life-size bronze sculptures strategically placed around the property artfully pay homage to the land’s history.

Hidden up a curving entrance road, the Fazio designed golf course at The Quarry cuts a dramatic oasis-like swath up the cove… with manicured fairways and four lakes, streams and waterfalls encircled by lush indigenous landscaping.  Owning a home at The Quarry is a privilege unlike anywhere else in the Palm Springs Valley.

La Quinta Country Club Not Your Typical Club

Clubhouse at La Quinta Country Club

La Quinta Country Club’s spectacular clubhouse offers stunning views of the Santa Rosa Mountains

La Quinta Country Club has a long standing history of tradition and excellence, founded in 1959 by a group who wanted to create a Country Club like none other in the Palm Springs Valley at that time.  And that’s exactly what they did by turning 130 acres of raw desert into a championship golf course in just 8 short months.  By 1962, the USA Championships were held at La Quinta Country Club, bringing TV coverage that put the course in the limelight and eventually attracted the Palm Springs Golf Classic (later to become the Bob Hope Classic) to the Club.

LA QUINTA COUNTRY CLUB LEGACY

Originally, the golf course at LQCC was built solely for the La Quinta Resort.  In 1971, it was purchased by its members and became a private equity club.  Its original clubhouse, a spacious Mediterranean style structure completed in 1966, was damaged by a series of earthquakes and was eventually rendered unusable.  In its place now stands a stunning new clubhouse facility where members can play some of the best golf in the Palm Springs Valley, socialize and participate in a myriad of activities and enjoy the finest dining offering California Cuisine.  Keep in mind that the LQCC is member financed, owned and managed… assuring their tradition of excellence is kept high.

Greg Norman course at PGA West in La Quinta

Greg Norman course at PGA West in La Quinta

What makes the Norman Estates at PGA West in La Quinta different than other golf course communities?  There are several unique characteristics of this small, friendly, “neighborhood within a community.”  Greg Norman designed the community as well as the Norman course that flows around it.  The Norman course is the only desert style golf course at PGA West, and now with the drought, we can see that it was ahead of it’s time!  There is also a friendly “Australian style” clubhouse, that is warm and friendly.

Each course at PGA West is gated, with 24 hour monitoring.  The Norman Estates at PGA West, has a second, pass code protected gate within the PGA West entry gate, creating a really private community.  There are only 58 semi-custom homes at Norman Estates.  The neighborhood is Tuscan inspired, lots are very large for golf course homes, (smallest is 14,000+ sf.), and there are several exterior elevations, helping to create a varied look from home to home.

I was the original onsite Sales Manager, when these homes were built in 2005-2006, and know each home on each lot intimately!  Take the video below to see just one example of the homes at Norman Estates, PGA West. Streets are wide, mature trees offer shady walking, neighbors are friendly and the feeling is one of a true neighborhood at the Norman Estates in PGA West in La Quinta, California.  HOA is approx. $550/month and home prices range from approx. $975,000 – approx. $1,500,000.
