In 1956, over a casual dinner at Ruby's Dunes Restaurant in Palm Springs, the concept of
Indian Wells Country Club was first discussed. Within a week, 50 acres were purchased at the base of the Santa Rosa Mountains. The original founders, including Desi Arnaz,
envisioned a nine-hole private country club surrounded by houses for Members to use as second homes.
Today, Indian Wells Country Club boasts 36-challenging holes of golf which wind their way
through the picturesque mountains making it absolutely effortless to experience golf at its best.
