#94 La Quinta Resort Mountain Course

I was a little disappointed that a course named "Mountain" didn't have lots of elevation change.  Mostly it went along the base of the mountains.  Only on 16 was there a dramatic downhill tee shot.


It's a Pete Dye design, but without many of his idiosyncratic features.  It did manage to befuddle me, though, as I shot 88 with only 25 putts and no greens in regulation.  A few fringies, which Cactus Dave would count, but I don't.  7 times I took 2 or more shots from close to the green, when 1 should have sufficed.

I played with a nice Japanese couple.  We exchanged cards, so if I'm ever in Osaka, he's going to show me around the courses he plays.
