Looking at the Greg Norman enclave specifically? **Tell me what you're after** — fairway vs. mountain views, single-story, casita — and I'll send what's active plus anything coming off-market inside the gate.
A gated enclave inside PGA West
PGA West is the valley's largest golf development — roughly 2,000 acres, 5,000+ homes, and six championship courses across nine villages. The Greg Norman Course neighborhood is one distinct piece of it: about 180 single-family homes behind their own guard gate off Madison Street, built in the early-to-mid 2000s as PGA West's newest single-family village.
Homes here are semi-custom — larger and more architecturally varied than the older condo and duplex product elsewhere in PGA West — generally ranging from about 2,500 to over 5,000 square feet, three to six bedrooms, many with casitas and pools. Recent sales have run roughly from just over $1M to $3M+, with most homes trading in the mid-$1M to $2M range, and HOA dues reported at roughly $525–$650+ a month depending on the source and the year. *Re-check both before you offer — inventory and pricing move fast here.*

What you're buying
The homes
Semi-custom single-family homes, ~2,500–5,000+ sq ft, 3–6 bedrooms. Courtyard entries, detached casitas, private pools, and desert-contemporary or Tuscan exteriors are common.
Lots sit on the fairways, along the course's lakes (water is in play on nine holes), or facing the Santa Rosa Mountains. View orientation drives a real premium here — south- and west-facing golf-and-mountain lots command the most.
HOA dues reported at roughly $525–$650+/month cover the gate and common areas (and front- and back-yard maintenance, per some sources — confirm in the current budget). Club membership is separate and optional — see below. Property is on fee-owned land, not a lease.
A small enclave means thin supply — often only a handful of homes active at once. When something well-positioned lists, it tends to move; being ready matters more than it does in a bigger community.
The golf
The Greg Norman Course is the only Greg Norman design in the Coachella Valley. It plays to about 7,200 yards over roughly 68 acres of turf, with an "Outback" desert-links character — 102 white crushed-marble bunkers, native landscaping, and water on nine holes. The course has its own clubhouse inside the neighborhood, about 2.5 miles from the main PGA West clubhouse — part of why this enclave feels so private.
You do not have to join the club to buy a home here — but if you want to play the Norman Course regularly as a member, you'll need a PGA West membership.
Membership & fees
PGA West membership is optional and purchased separately from the home. Tiers have generally run along the lines of a Champions (social/racquet) level near $10,000 initiation, a Sport level around $20,000–$29,000, and a full Premier/Golf level around $45,000–$60,000, each with its own monthly dues. *These change — confirm current initiation and dues with the club before you budget.*
So the real monthly cost of a Greg Norman home is: mortgage + property tax + HOA (roughly $525–$650+) + (if you join) club dues and any food-and-beverage minimum. Here's how to add it all up.
Before you offer
Buying in the Greg Norman enclave
- 1Confirm the HOA dues and what they cover in the current budget — gate, landscaping, common-area maintenance.
- 2Decide the membership question separately — optional here, so price the home on its own merits and treat the club as a lifestyle add-on.
- 3Verify the land is fee-owned for the specific parcel (PGA West is, but confirm on the title report).
- 4Weigh the view premium — a golf-and-mountain lot can be worth six figures over an interior lot; know what you're paying for.
- 5Check short-term-rental rules if you'll rent when away — La Quinta's STR rules and the PGA West HOA both apply. STR rules by city.
