Golf is the reason a great many people come to this valley in the first place, and it is a different holiday when the course is on the other side of the garden wall rather than a drive away. The homes in this collection sit on or beside the fairways of the Coachella Valley — La Quinta, Indian Wells, Palm Desert and the courses around them — where an early tee time means walking out of the door rather than loading the car.
They are chosen for the golf and kept for everything else: somewhere to sit outside when the round is over, room for a group to spread out, and the quiet that comes with backing onto a course instead of a street.
