THE QUARRY AT LA QUINTA

Tom Fazio carved this desert masterpiece from an abandoned rock quarry, turning industrial scars into dramatic elevation changes that are rare in the Coachella Valley. The routing climbs 200 feet through natural rock outcroppings and desert washes, with the par-3 17th playing across a genuine quarry chasm that'll test both your nerve and club selection. Where most desert courses rely solely on target golf, this layout demands precise distance control as you navigate between towering rock walls and native palm groves.
