An Evening at the Madison Club, La Quinta.

We toured the Madison Club last evening and what a phenominal experience. The level of service is impeccable as are the grounds, ammenities and really everything associated with the club. There’s an inviting and welcoming aura that all Discovery Land Company properties seem to promote so well and that wasn’t missing here. It was country club living at its finest and something that I instantly wanted to be a part of!

There are a total of 217 available parcels at the club which breakdown as follows:

  • 193 custom lots which range in size from .5 to 1.5 acres and $1m – $3m.
  • 17 Villas (semi custom detached homes) which are 4000 sqft+ and start over $3 million.  Off golf course.
  • 5 Club House Suites, which are 1000 sqft hotel-like suites on the second floor of the club house. They are all sold, and ranged in sale price between $1.5 – $2 million (yeah, $1000/sqft).

Discovery finished the physical amenities in March 2010 (club house, pool, locker rooms, fitness center, spa facitilies tennis etc — the golf course had been previously completed).  By finishing the clubhouse, Madison Club was able to make a grand statement in a challenging economy that reinforced the club is here to stay, and promote a level of service and lifestyle that is hard to beat.  Buyers listened.  They have over 110 of their custom lots sold and all but one of their completed Villas sold (I believe 9 out of the 17 are completed).

They have one membership available called their Legacy Membership.  It’s an 80% equity membership (you keep 80% of its sold value) and the deposit is $200,000.  The dues are $33,000 per year which is steep (and in line with other A list clubs in the valley), but there’s a unique and valuable twist to their Legacy membership which other comparable clubs don’t offer.  The membership includes ALL family members of the member:  the member’s parents and the member’s children, along with their spouses and children of children!  So everything the club has to offer is available to the entire family – the perfect solution for family vacations.

Here are a few pictures around the property.
