    Review

    The Citrus Club in La Quinta stands out as a private haven for golfers and guests who crave a combination of superb conditioning, thoughtful design, and a serene desert setting. Across a variety of reviews, players repeatedly note that The Citrus Club is in impressive shape, with a pace of play that keeps things moving and a vibe that blends quiet beauty with a sense of exclusivity. The course itself is praised for its overall quality and the way it accommodates a wide range of skill levels, making it a destination that both dedicated golfers and casual visitors can genuinely enjoy.

    Designed by Pete Dye and nurtured by a dedicated team, the Citrus course offers an engaging test that feels fair and rewarding. Commentators highlight the multiple sets of tees, which provide a challenge for seasoned players while remaining accessible to less experienced ones. The layout is celebrated for its eye-catching vistas and strategic holes that invite thoughtful shot-making, rather than relying solely on length. The praise also extends to the leadership and instruction surrounding the course, with remarks noting the expertise of the staff and the thoughtful guidance offered by professionals like Andrew Knepper, PGA, whose team contributes to memorable rounds and a welcoming atmosphere.

    Setting is central to the experience at The Citrus Club. Reviewers describe it as a very pretty place to visit, neutral but vibrant in its own quiet way, with a landscape that blends the lushness of citrus groves - orange, lemon, and grapefruit trees - into a desert backdrop. The result is a unique ambience that feels both refined and relaxed. Even in heat, such as a desert afternoon described as 120 Fahrenheit, visitors remark on the venue's natural beauty and the way the environment enhances, rather than overwhelms, the experience. The resort-like feel comes through in the attention to detail and the sense that you've stepped into a premium private club rather than a public course.

    Facilities and amenities at the Citrus Club are repeatedly commended. The clubhouse and practice areas receive particular notice, with references to a remodeled clubhouse that exudes quality and modernity. The fitness center is described as clean and updated, and there's mention of bocce ball as an approachable leisure option. The practice facility is noted for its size and usefulness, and golfers appreciate that it's easy to access the first tee from the practice area, which contributes to a smooth, enjoyable visit. The club's ability to host events - ranging from casual meetings to weddings - also comes up in reviews, underscoring the versatility and professional service that characterizes the facility.

    Dining and hospitality are star attractions at The Citrus Club. Several reviewers emphasize the serenity of dining with a view, calling it a warm and memorable experience. The catering and culinary staff are singled out for praise, with Antonio the chef highlighted as among the best in the valley for both quality and flavor. Destiny, the bartender, is celebrated for engaging conversation and hard work, while Esmarelda, the food and beverage supervisor, earns special appreciation for running a tight but welcoming operation. Other staff, like Anne who helps make clubhouse dining pleasurable, are remembered fondly for elevating the overall experience. The consistent thread is that service here isn't just good - it's genuinely memorable and personable.

    Membership and value are nuanced themes in the feedback. Several reviewers note that they've been part of The Citrus Club for many years, emphasizing the sense of community and long-term satisfaction that comes with private-club status. There's a candid acknowledgment that the club can be expensive, especially for part-time residents, but the sentiment across contrasting views tends to converge on the idea that it's worth the premium for those who utilize the amenities and the lifestyle it offers. The combination of a beautiful property, well-maintained golf course, and excellent service creates a strong case for those who are considering a serious commitment to the Coachella Valley golf scene.

    Community spirit and memorable experiences round out the impressions. Reviewers recount holding weddings at the club and enjoying the hospitality of the staff during such events, underscoring the property's appeal beyond golf alone. The sense of community, paired with the refined environment and consistently high standards, contributes to a lasting impression of The Citrus Club as a premier destination in the desert. From the quiet moments on the course to lively gatherings at the clubhouse, the reviews convey a place where members and guests alike feel welcomed, valued, and inspired by the combination of natural beauty and exceptional service.

    In summary, The Citrus Club offers a compelling blend of top-tier golf, elegant facilities, and attentive hospitality. Its 18-hole course, designed by a celebrated architect and continually cared for by a dedicated team, provides a challenging yet approachable experience that delights players of all levels. The surroundings - an evocative mix of citrus groves and desert vistas - enhance both mood and memory, making every visit feel special. With a remodeled clubhouse, expansive practice facilities, and a dining program led by chefs and staff who consistently impress, The Citrus Club stands out as a private-golf destination in the Coachella Valley where meticulous care, scenic beauty, and genuine hospitality come together in a way that leaves a lasting impression.
