The Vintage Club (Desert)

Overview: Indian Wells is home to The Vintage Club's private Desert Course, an 18-hole Tom Fazio design. The official club fact sheet lists it at par 72 and 6,344 yards, a compact desert layout whose identity comes from the contrast between irrigated playing corridors, palms, and the dry Coachella Valley landscape beyond them.

History: The Vintage Club was founded in 1984, and the Desert Course is part of the club's original Fazio-era golf identity. The club's history describes a community built around a carefully managed desert setting, with the course and surrounding landscape developing together.

Did You Know? The Desert Course is not simply a desert-themed name. Its design depends on the visual and climatic contrast between green turf and the surrounding valley floor, making the transition from fairway to desert an important part of the experience.
