Desert Island Country Club

Desert Island Country Club is a public golf course located in Rancho Mirage, California, near Palm Springs. Originally established in 1971 and recently reimagined, the course features a championship layout with a scenic backdrop of lakes and mountains characteristic of the Greater Palm Springs region. The course is complemented by a lakeside setting that provides picturesque views throughout the round.

The facility operates as a semi-private club, welcoming both members and non-members for rounds of golf. The course includes a putting green situated between holes nine and ten, where the on-course 9 1/2 Bar & Kitchen is located, providing mid-round refreshment options for golfers. The course also features a driving range.

Beyond golf, Desert Island functions as a full-service country club with dining amenities, including The Penney restaurant and cocktail bars. The venue emphasizes a distinctive character, hosting contemporary art exhibitions, private events, and weddings. The facility includes The Parlour cocktail lounge and a late-century ballroom, positioning itself as a lifestyle destination rather than a golf-only establishment.
