Which Indian Wells Country Club Is Right for You?
There really isn’t one “best” country club in Indian Wells.
The better question is: Which club best fits the way you want to live in the desert?
Golf is certainly important, but it’s only part of the equation. Buyers should also consider the social environment, dining, fitness and wellness facilities, racquet sports, family programming, membership structure, home styles, views, location and the overall personality of each community.
Two homes at similar price points can offer completely different lifestyles depending on the club and community behind the gates.
Understanding those differences can be just as important as finding the right house.
