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.
