The Hideaway: The Definitive Buyer's Guide

The Hideaway is one of La Quinta's most architecturally distinct private golf

communities, known for a modern design sensibility that sets it apart from the more

traditional Mediterranean-style estates found elsewhere in the Valley. Laurie

McLennan has represented buyers and sellers throughout The Hideaway for years, and

this guide reflects the questions she hears most often from prospective buyers.

What Makes The Hideaway Different

Two championship golf courses — designed by Pete Dye and Clive Clark — anchor the

community, but what draws many buyers is the architecture itself: clean lines,

walls of glass, and an emphasis on indoor-outdoor living that feels distinctly

contemporary compared to nearby clubs. The clubhouse and amenities are built around

a relaxed, design-forward social atmosphere rather than a formal country-club feel.

Homes here generally range from 3,500 to 8,000+ square feet, with a strong

concentration of architecturally significant, design-led residences. Many homes

were custom-built with input from notable Valley architects, which makes this one

of the stronger communities in the Valley for buyers specifically seeking design

pedigree, not just square footage.

Like Madison Club, membership at The Hideaway is separate from the real estate

purchase itself. Understanding the specific membership category tied to a given

property — and what it includes — is a detail worth clarifying before writing an

offer, which Laurie reviews with every Hideaway buyer.

The Hideaway tends to draw design-conscious buyers — often those coming from

architecture, design, or creative industries — who want championship golf without

the more formal, traditional country-club atmosphere found elsewhere in the Valley.

Laurie McLennan's 25 years in the Coachella Valley luxury market include deep,

firsthand experience in The Hideaway specifically — from architecture-led

new-construction sales to resales of the community's most distinctive estates.
