"Back home in Brooklyn, it was one of those gray and rainy late-winter days, but here in La Quinta, it was 72, sunny, and dry as you’d expect—otherwise known as perfect golf weather."
Over at Travel + Leisure, I reviewed PGA West
Each April, I head out to the Coachella Valley for a work trip to help on-the-ground at a certain music festival that brings the droves of young people and brands to polo grounds in the desert. While the weekends are busy, I have time on weekday mornings to golf, and I have been lucky enough to play the 5 public courses at PGA West during those trips. My editor at Travel + Leisure invited me to review the resort ahead of the AmEx tourney and their high season, especially after their incredible restoration. You can read my full review at Travel + Leisure, and let me know what you think! Have you been to PGA West? Did I get it right?
Here are some of my photos too from visiting PGA West from 2023 to 2025.
