PGA WEST is a spectacular master-planned country club community, established in 1984, located in beautiful La Quinta, just minutes from Palm Springs, California. PGA WEST is a recreational/resort development consisting of more than 2,200 acres featuring world-class golf, tennis and fitness. PGA WEST currently hosts six incredible golf courses, including the new Greg Norman Course.
The City of La Quinta is a community nestled at the base of the majestic Santa Rosa Mountains, just 30 minutes from Palm Springs, in southern California's Coachella Valley. With its small-town friendliness, La Quinta is a peaceful and relaxing community. However, it is also a year-round, multi-recreational and destination resort community. Known as the "Gem of the Desert," La Quinta enjoys low humidity combined with an abundance of sunshine year-round.
Many years later, wealthy San Francisco businessman Walter H. Morgan became enchanted with the area and commissioned renowned architect Gordon B. Kaufman to build a secluded hacienda-style hotel at a cost of $150,000. La Quinta Hotel opened during the Christmas season of 1926 and drew enthusiastic praise from both guests and the press. Ever the visionary, Morgan built a nine-hole golf course on the hotel grounds. Designed by Norman Beth, it would be Coachella Valley's first golf course and boasted green fees of $1.00.
Word quickly spread about this charming hideaway that would become a retreat for Hollywood stars and celebrities from around the world. Regulars included Bette Davis, Clark Gable, Errol Flynn, Katherine Hepburn, Eddie Cantor, Greta Garbo, and Shirley Temple. Frank Capra would declare the hotel his lucky charm for it was here that he wrote the higly successful movie script It Happened One Night. He and his wife, Lucille, would return to the same casita year after year.
La Quinta became the only incorporated city from a hotel. Both the celebrated La Quinta Resort & Club and the vibrant City of La Quinta continue to enjoy phenomenal growth, yet their quaint charm goes undisturbed as new shopping, restaurants and cultural events are introduced.
