Palm Desert Resort Country Club

About Palm Desert Resort Country Club

Set against the backdrop of the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto mountains, Palm Desert Resort Country Club offers a well-maintained golf course that's both beginner friendly and challenging to better players. Around 6,600 yards from the back set of tees, the course has numerous water features and bunkers, as well as plenty of palm trees to navigate to provide plenty of challenge for the better. But five sets of tees, starting at 4,507 yards, means it's very player-friendly. Wide fairways and large greens with openings between the bunkers are great for those who like to play running shots, while the better player will find plenty of opportunities to score. The course is hardly a pushover, though. The no. 1 handicap hole is the 471-yard par-4 11th, a dogleg right that requires a long, accurate tee shot to get a good look at the green. Palm Desert Resort Country Club, which was designed by Joe Mulleneaux and opened in 1983, has a nice variety of par 5s and par 3s. The par-5 fifth is just 484 yards from the tips, so it's a good risk-reward hole with a lake that goes down the entire right side of the approach on this dogleg right hole. The par 3s range from 158 yards to 203 yards from the back tees. In addition to the golf course, Palm Desert Country Club also has a driving range and putting green. Lessons are also available from the professional staff. The Resorter Cafe is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, offering breakfast burritos, sandwiches, burgers, and salads.
