The dining room at Sharon and Les Tso’s home at the Residence Club at PGA West in La Quita easily seats 10. The club accommodations a 3,500-square-foot villa with private splash pool and guest casita are much bigger and nicer than a home the pair could have purchased on their own in the same area with their $600,000 vacation home budget.
