Rancho Las Palmas Country Club

The desert winds here sculpt every shot across this classic Coachella Valley layout, where towering date palms frame generous fairways that reward aggressive play off elevated tees. Ted Robinson's water features come alive on the back nine, particularly the island-green par-3 17th that separates weekend hackers from single-digit players with brutal honesty. This is old-school desert golf at its most refined—wide enough to forgive wayward drives yet demanding enough around the greens to humble anyone who takes the desert's beauty for granted.
