Frequently Asked Questions

How challenging is The Dunes Course for an average golfer, and what should I expect?

The Dunes Course offers a really enjoyable challenge without being overly punishing, making it great for a variety of handicaps. You'll find strategic bunkering and some tricky green complexes that demand good course management, but it's not going to beat you up if you're not hitting it perfectly. We recommend playing from the right tees to truly enjoy its subtle complexities.

What makes the 'Dunes' aspect of this course unique, and what's a highlight to look out for?

The 'Dunes' name isn't just for show-you'll encounter some fantastic natural mounding and elevation changes that really define the course's character. Keep an eye out for the par-3 17th; it's a beautiful, challenging hole with a dramatic backdrop that truly captures the desert-dunes aesthetic. It's a memorable spot for a photo and a test of your short iron game.

When is the best time of year to play The Citrus Club - Dunes Course without melting or freezing?

For ideal conditions, we always steer people towards the shoulder seasons-late fall (October-November) or early spring (March-April). The desert heat in summer is no joke, and while winter is pleasant, it can get surprisingly chilly in the mornings. You'll get comfortable temperatures and beautifully maintained fairways during these windows.

Is playing The Dunes Course worth the green fee, especially compared to other La Quinta options?

Absolutely, we think The Dunes Course offers excellent value, especially if you're staying at La Quinta Resort.

You're paying for a well-maintained, fun round that you'll want to play again.

What's the vibe like at The Citrus Club after a round on the Dunes Course, and what should I do there?

The Citrus Club has a wonderfully relaxed and upscale vibe post-round-it's exactly what you want after a good walk. We always head to the patio for a drink; the views are fantastic, and it's the perfect spot to recap your birdies and bogeys. The food is consistently good, so plan on grabbing a bite there too.
