PGA Palmer Private Real Estate

PGA West

Six championship courses. The Coachella Valley's most famous golf destination. Broadest price range of any golf community in the valley. Homes from $500K to $5M+.

PGA West is the most famous golf destination in the Coachella Valley and one of the most recognized golf resort communities in the world. Spanning a massive footprint in La Quinta, PGA West has six championship courses, multiple private and semi-private membership options, and a community that ranges from resort condominiums to large custom estates.

The community's most famous course, the TPC Stadium Course designed by Pete Dye, has hosted major professional golf events and is considered one of the most challenging and storied courses in America. Golf enthusiasts worldwide recognize PGA West as a destination, which creates consistent demand for real estate within the community.

PGA West is distinct from most other communities in this guide in one important way: it serves a broad buyer spectrum. Entry-level condos and villas make PGA West accessible to buyers who want the PGA West address and golf access at a fraction of the cost of the valley's ultra-exclusive communities. At the same time, the community's largest custom estates rival anything in the desert.
