The Madison Club golf course is adjacent to The Hideaway in La Quinta at the southeast corner of Madison Street and Avenue 52. The golf course opened in November last year. This exclusively private 18-hole, par 72 course was designed by Tom Fazio. The residential portion of the development has been billed s ultra high end custom homes on large and expensive lots that are sold separately. Construction of the first homes at the site has just begun recently.
At the City of La Quinta's SilverRock Resort, a second 18-hole course, designed by Jacobsen and Hardy, could be added to the current course and planned resort project as soon as 2008. Recently, the current SilverRock course was added to the rotation for the 2008 Bob Hope Chrysler Classic after a couple years of negotiations with the tournament. Much construction around SilverRock is approved, including a boutique hotel, a resort hotel, resort oriented retail stores, various styles of casitas and hotel condos and a black box theatre to be developed by DDC Desert Development. The entrance is off of Avenue 52, east of Washington Street.
Also in La Quinta, a second Rees Jones designed course is planned for Andalusia Country Club located at the southeast corner of Madison Street and Avenue 58. The first course opened in December 2005 to rave reviews. Jones' second 18-hole course for Andalusia will be located on the west side of Madison Street and is targeting its first tee-off for early 2008. Drummond Company is the owner/developer (they also developed Rancho La Quinta Country Club) and could ultimately build up to 700 upscale homes surrounding the two courses. The
Temporary clubhouse, along with its golf shop will move into a new fitness center that is scheduled to open in spring 2007 until the massive permanent clubhouse is completed.
Travertine Pointe was another LaQuinta course that once appeared on our radar screen. A specific plan was approved by the City council at a time when such plans were not given expiration dates. However, the applications for Tentative Tract Maps and site development plans have all expired and would need to be reprocessed, which hasn't occurred.
