Overview: Chaparral Country Club is an 18-hole short course in Palm Desert, shaped by Ted Robinson Sr. around tight fairways, elevated greens and water features beneath the Santa Rosa Mountains. Its par-60 routing asks for precise placement and controlled approaches rather than brute length, giving the course a distinct compact character within the Coachella Valley.
History: Ted Robinson Sr. designed Chaparral as part of the Palm Desert country-club landscape. The club calls the course “The Little Monster,” a nickname that fits a layout where the shorter scorecard does not remove the need for accurate golf. The current club presents Chaparral as a private club, and the course page remains the clearest source for its design identity.
Did You Know? The name “The Little Monster” is a useful clue to Chaparral’s personality: the course is short by conventional standards, but its small-scale decisions, water and raised targets can still punish a loose approach. The mountain backdrop is visible throughout the property.
