Andalusia at Coral Mountain sits across a scenic stretch at the base of the Santa Rosa and Coral Mountains in La Quinta, California, and offers an active 55+ private resort community mixed in with a serious golf culture, and folks living there are surrounded by large mountain views, lush golf fairways, and places for outdoor living, with broad window walls in homes that open up right to the outdoors. The center of the community is a championship 18-hole golf course designed by Rees Jones, built in 2005, stretching 7,521 yards, par 72, and staying open all year, with big wide fairways, no homes on the course, bent grass greens, and about 88 bunkers placed in hard spots that make for a challenging round, and the course sits among lakes, waterfalls, and more than 80,000 plants, flowers, olive and palm trees. There are six different tee choices plus a forward tee, so beginners and experienced golfers both find a fit, and guests use the course if a member brings them along, and there's a strict dress code with no metal spikes allowed. Golfers get support from Lindsey Winch, the PGA Head Golf Professional, and course stats can be tracked with details about rounds played and scores, plus mobile apps and digital caddy features, and there are practice spots, lesson programs, and even a dedicated Golf Digest Studio onsite.
The grand Golf Clubhouse has men's and women's locker rooms, shaded outdoor terraces, a pro shop, and spaces for dining with mountain and fairway views, all done up in a Spanish style that fits the area, and the place hosts events and activities that keep everyone on a friendly schedule, like art classes, yoga, pickleball mixers, and wine tastings, and fitness is covered by a modern center, big outdoor pool, and regular tennis and bocce games. There are health and wellness services too, including help with bathing, dressing, and medication when needed, and extra support for memory care, mobility issues, or different levels of independence, and residents can join fitness classes or get help from trainers listed in a special directory, plus there's a calendar full of movies, games, art, and outdoor walks.
Inside the homes and villas, folks have private bathrooms, kitchenettes, Wi-Fi, cable TV, air conditioning, and phones, so the comforts are simple but modern, and housekeeping, laundry, concierge, and family support help keep daily life steady. Dining choices include a regular dining room, options for all-day meals, restaurant-style service, and special diets can be handled by a professional chef, so whether someone's dealing with allergies or diabetes they're not left out. There are many places to gather, read, play games, watch movies, or join community activities, and outside, walking paths and open spaces link back to the mountain views. Membership's private, but not just for people living there-non-residents can join-but everyone follows the same rules for guests, golf attire, and clubhouse manners. Staff like General Manager John Cummings keep things organized, and reviews from golf players say the place is well-kept and fun to play, with a perfect score from 32 reviews.
So Andalusia at Coral Mountain's a mix of upscale desert living, strong health and support services, and championship golf, all in a setting where you can be active, get help if you need it, and still wake up to the quiet of the mountains and green fairways every day.
