Tom Fazio designed the Quarry course at La Quinta in 1994 (the same architect who seven years earlier constructed the acclaimed Quarry course at Black Diamond Ranch in Florida). The private golf club opened in 1994 and only permits members and their guests to play here.
The Quarry sits in the Coachella Valley at the foothills below the Santa Rosa Mountains and features an abandoned mine and Indian trail as part of the course. Seven holes are on the quarry floor, seven are raised and four are at yet another height – all told, the elevation varies on the property by some 300 feet.
Tom Fazio describes the course in the following terms: “What makes the Quarry such a special place is a combination of things. Unique design opportunities… commitment to golf excellence... dedication to enhancing each golfer’s experience… it’s the total package that makes the place extraordinary”.
The signature hole at the Quarry at La Quinta is the 521-yard par five 10th which has a 70 foot waterfall that runs into a stream and a fairway which is bounded on one side by a quarry wall.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
