La Quinta
In Spanish it means Country estate or Inn
so perhaps it is fitting that the La Quinta Resort was the impetus for the
founding of this town. Originally
started in 1926 this resort remains to this day one of the most luxurious and
exclusive in a Desert full of first class resorts.
La Quinta is also now home to PGA west comprised of six golf
courses, clubhouses and many thousands of homes and condos. In fact it is
impossible to separate La Quinta from golf with the numerous course and golf
communities that fill the town.
Some of the communities you will hear about in La Quinta
include:
Rancho La Quinta, The Dunes, The Citrus The Hideaway,
Griffin Ranch, Talenta, The Palms, PGA West, The Tradition, Haciendas at La Quinta, Mountain View Country Club, Palmilla and
Renaissance.
Your only limit on indulging your perfect golf getaway is
your budget. Luckily in La Quinta there
are beautiful options for every budget.
The City is well planned and locals will tell you how great
the schools are. The corridor along

La Quinta has a vibrant old town with picturesque shops and great dining and every
March there is the La Quinta Art Fair with celebrated artists from around the
world converging on the city. Currently
