Hello, fun. That is the motto of Pedego and a reason why we opened Pedego La Quinta. We were looking for something new and different to do in the Coachella Valley. We know that the Valley is a destination for a lot of individuals looking for a way to relax while still staying active. With countless days of optimal weather and great terrain for biking we knew Pedego would be a great fit in our

We have rented bikes here before and we’re ever so impressed with not only the quality of the bikes but with the staff who are very helpful in every which way! Our last bike ride I had gotten a flat tire and called for help and they came with new bike within 15 min! Excellent customer service! So my husband and I went today and rented electric bikes again! Of note, bikes are like new and love them! We went and rode to El Paseo with ease and the staff recommended we take the scenic and safe route which we did! It was a great ride! We then had the energy to come back to La Quinta and do the Bear Creek Trail! It was also a great ride made easy by the electric bike! We look forward to our next trip back and highly recommend renting your bikes here or doing one of their trips! Again, bikes are like new and a pleasure to ride! Love this place and the helpful staff! Thank s You and we will be back!

We loved the hike at the Fred Wolff Bear Creek Nature Preserve. It was for free. We saw bushes, palm trees, mpitains and lots of hiking. I like that. We even saw runroaders. It was worthwhile for the hike to enjoy the desert. A must see!

A challenging 18-hole golf course with breathtaking views.
Reviewed By T4232XIjohnb - Toronto, Canada
I've now played the PGA West Norman course several times and it is a ton of fun to play. The fairways are generous, most of the houses are tucked well back so it feels very natural and it has a real desert feel to it. The greens were in great shape and rolling fast and the pace of play was decent - 4:15 for the round. You can get discounted greens fees online so be sure to poke around for a deal.

Set at the base of the majestic Santa Rosa Mountains of La Quinta, California, this 18-hole championship Southern California golf course is a Gary Panks design that ensures challenge and reward for players of all skill levels. The Golf Club at La Quinta opened for play in 2002 and has been tested and tried by professional golf players including Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Fred Couples, Adam Scott, Annika Sorenstam and Mark O’Meara, as the home of the 2003, 2004, 2005, and the 2006 PGA Tour SKINS GAME events. Several sets of tee boxes, including the Skins tees that play at nearly 7,200 yards, provide a length that is just right for your golf game. Dramatic water features and sand perils complement the golf course fairways, leading to the rolling greens. The natural California desert landscape of the surrounding Coachella Valley creates a boundary of play both beautiful and daunting. Check out our new SPRING rates effective April 15th!

This little par 3 may be the best conditioned course in the desert, honest. Everything is lush and green, and all water features have clear clean water (and a couple of my golf balls) Greens run straight and true. This is really a fun course. It is also a little jeckel and hyde for me. A few years ago, I dead shanked my tee shot on #9 and broke the window of a very nice lady who gave me back my wayward ball. A year later, on #6 I hit a pitching wedge that bounced once and went right into the hole. Give this great little track a try, and it will be fun

A picturesque 18-hole golf course with mountain views.
Reviewed By ChitchatCanada
Playing this golf course was one of the best golfing experiences I have had, from beginning to end....and it was good value. The practice, driving range was great. The starter was fantastic - I wish I could remember his name - he was very friendly, helpful, and professional. The riding cart was superb and came with its own electronic GPS system & yardage guide. The course itself was in excellent condition and very well-manicured. I found the course was challenging but fair, had a good variety of hole designs, and was very picturesque. I would play here again in a heartbeat.
