History
Long before the time-honored traditions of golf came to the sun-splashed beauty and spiritual serenity of the land that today is known as PGA WEST, and long before presidents, celebrities and champions came searching for rejuvenation of their souls, the Desert Cahuilla Indians were here.

They came sensing the enchantment, the mysterious qualities of this scenic, enrapturing desert, engulfed by the majestic Santa Rosa Mountains, believing that LaQuinta was the original Garden of Eden.

The Cahuilla's poetic, oral tradition of sacred myths, folklore and epics perpetuated a serene sense of harmony with their environment... master artists and craftsmen, tuned to lifes music, exulting in the pleasures of their games, leaving a legacy for those who follow.

Little, really, has changed in thousands of years, This hallowed place remains a veritable fountain of youth for those who come to experiance the healing powers of the sun, desert tranquility and spiritual mountains. From the villages of the Cahuillas, to the neighborhood villages of today, PGA WEST remains a magical, mystical place dedicated to the games.
