Take a Swing at This Luxury Golf Resort in La Quinta
“Open for everyone!” is the sentiment that Randy Duncan, SilverRock Golf Resort’s general manager, wanted to create when he began the process of reopening. Despite a seasonal overseeding closure of the course from Oct. 5 to Nov. 3 and construction of new villas, the PGA pro-level course has a long history of holding their patrons’ needs above all else.
SilverRock has had the prestigious honor of hosting the Bob Hope Classic. It was designed by the team at Arnold Palmer Designs.
Called “The Crown Jewel of La Quinta,” SilverRock is tucked into the refuse of the San Jacinto Mountains.
Its complete with spectral and breathtaking vistas, providing a great setting for players to grace the same greens as some of golf’s brightest stars.
Though services have shifted slightly, SilverRock still delivers comfort and serenity with some streamlined upgrades. Golfers can now book tee times entirely online. Dining at SilverRock Grill is available for takeout or limited dine-in. They’ve reduced hours to limit crowds and offer more quality time on the green—so check ahead before visiting. With all contact points removed and personal golf carts in use, you can maintain safe distancing from start to finish.
The on-site dining experience offers seating on the outdoor patio, perfect for this season of cooler weather. This long summer feels a whole world apart from this coming fall. The American Southwest offers us smooth and natural beauty in harmony with the SilverRock experience and a much needed breath of fresh air. Indoor seating is available with limited capacity, making for a safe but nearly identical experience.
You’d be sorely disappointed, however, by missing the opportunity to enjoy the view from the outdoor patio.
Despite the challenges presented by the county safety mandate, SilverRock has had the “best summer ever” in Duncan’s tenure. “Careful planning and our experienced staff made for a smooth transition,” says Duncan. Luxury remains intact at SilverRock, maintaining every expectation of the golf community without sacrificing quality. SilverRock is constantly changing, so fitting these accommodations came as painlessly as possible. Duncan encourages those invested in the growth of SilverRock to watch the progress themselves at www.silverrock2021.com.
