I’ve been hearing a lot about the luxurious golf scene in Palm Springs, and I’m curious to know more about the most exclusive golf clubs there.

What to Look For?

I’m particularly interested in:

  • Membership details: Are there any waiting lists or special criteria for joining?
  • Amenities: What kind of facilities do these clubs offer? Any spas, restaurants, or unique experiences?
  • Overall Experience: What makes these clubs stand out from others?

If anyone has personal experiences or recommendations about high-end clubs like The Vintage Club, Toscana Country Club, or others, I’d love to hear about it! Also, any tips on getting access to these private spots would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your insights!

I’ve heard that joining requires not just cash, but also solid sponsorship! Can anyone elaborate?

3

That makes sense! What about ongoing fees? Are they as steep as the initiation?

4

Absolutely! Most clubs want to ensure you fit their community. Sponsors usually need to be long-time members. Plus, background checks can be quite thorough.

5

Yes, many exclusive clubs have hefty annual dues that can range from $20,000 to $50,000! It’s always wise to review the financial commitment before applying.

Wow! Can you really justify those prices? Golf should be enjoyable, not a financial burden! What about perks at these clubs?

Do they have any special requirements like a certain handicap or tournaments you must participate in? This exclusivity sounds intense!

Typically, clubs have certain standards, often asking for a minimum handicap. But it varies widely; some focus purely on connections.

This sounds too stressful for some—what if someone just wants to play casually?

11

Haha! Casual golfers might feel alienated at such exclusive places. Maybe a public course is more their vibe! Still, the social scene can be enticing at these clubs.

12

True! The community and networking aspects are often what attract individuals, even if golf isn’t their primary focus. What a balancing act!

13

It does sound like a juggling act! But hey, it could lead to some great friendships. Anyone have personal experiences joining any of these clubs?

14

I’ve applied to a few, and it’s a wild ride! You’ll go through several rounds of interviews—very competitive!

While the Vintage Club is prestigious, don’t overlook the Mission Hills Country Club. They offer excellent spa treatments and host some impressive events for members.
