During our fun-filled week in the Desert, friend Duane invited us to visit Doyle and his home in The Quarry. Golf course developments don’t get any more exclusive than The Quarry, and it’s always a delight to see Duane's brother Doyle. Needless to say, Duane didn’t have to ask me twice.
Doyle’s home is absolutely gorgeous, and the garage that houses his classic Lincoln Continental is WAY cleaner than my kitchen. The art, furnishings and pool are stunning, but the most spectacular feature of Doyle’s place is his cactus garden. He is clearly a master gardener, and my pictures don’t do Doyle's creation justice.
The Quarry features incredible homes built around perfectly manicured golf holes. In fact, at one point we counted 10 workers meticulously mowing and trimming a single golf green! Memberships at The Quarry don’t come cheap. It costs $350,000 to become a member – and another $350,000 if your spouse wants to join, too. Guests are welcome to play the course – but
only in the company of a member. Interestingly, Quarry guest Phil Mikelson made the mistake of playing part of the course by himself. The PGA champ subsequently applied for membership but was
blackballed for breaking the law by playing The Quarry without a member.
Holy cow! They mean business at The Quarry. It's hard to believe someone like Phil Mickelson would be blackballed regardless of the infraction.
