Andalusia Country Club

Rees Jones, working with co-designer Greg Muirhead, created Andalusia's course, which dates to 2006. Officially the East Course, it was planned as the first of two layouts, and today the single 18 is the heart of the club. It stretches from about 5,489 yards at the forward tees to 7,521 from the back, with elevation changes, scenic lakes, streams, waterfalls and several hundred large palms framing the holes. Mountain views come into play throughout, with Coral Mountain and the Santa Rosas close by. In 2022 forward tees were added and select bunkers were modified to make the course more playable for every level. The club's own literature notes that no tee times are required.

The club facilities and many of the homes draw on the architecture and lifestyle of Andalusia in southern Spain. Dining centers on a modern restaurant and lounge, with seating indoors and on the terrace, and a newer golf clubhouse sits across from the Racquet Club. The sports side includes tennis, pickleball and bocce, a new fitness center with yoga and group classes, a spa, and a large outdoor pool. Residents also have walking and biking trails and a private dog park. The social calendar is busy, with mixers, member tournaments, wine tastings and themed parties through the season.

Andalusia is a private club with a simple structure. Every homeowner is a social member, which covers dining, fitness, racquet sports and events, and golf membership is optional. A local club guide reports a maximum of 695 members, golf initiation of about $60,000 and monthly HOA dues of about $600, though figures change as the club grows. Current golf and sports fees are set by the club and shared during the membership process. Ownership passed from T.D. Desert Development, a Drummond Company subsidiary, to Sunrise Company in October 2018, and the existing staff were retained through the transition.

Andalusia is still growing. When Sunrise Company bought the club in 2018, the remaining land had room for roughly 250 more homes, and Sunrise continues to build. Recent releases are contemporary, with deep lots, window walls and solar power, and buyers can customize plans at an onsite design studio. Semi-custom homes have ranged from about 3,280 to 5,131 square feet, and club villas start from a 2,315 square foot plan with a detached casita. Earlier homes follow the club's Spanish theme. The club reported 39 community sales in 2025, and a local guide places most homes between about $1.5 million and $3.5 million.

Andalusia feels newer and quieter than La Quinta's older clubs, tucked against the mountains at the south end of the city. Lakes and mature palms soften the setting, and evenings tend to center on the restaurant terrace and the sports club. Because every owner is a social member, neighbors meet easily through classes, tennis, pickleball and events, whether or not they golf. It suits buyers who want a brand new home inside an established gated club, part-time residents who want amenities close to home, and golfers happy with one well-kept championship course.
