The Golf Center at Palm Desert

The Golf Center at Palm Desert is a premier practice and short-game facility located in the heart of Palm Desert off Cook Street. Renovated in 2019, this Desert Recreation District property features a 9-hole Par-3 course designed specifically for short-game development. The course's holes range from 80 to 130 yards with small, challenging greens that test proficiency with short irons and scoring shots.

Beyond the course, the facility offers comprehensive practice amenities including a large 2-sided night-lighted driving range, premium practice balls, dedicated chipping greens, a practice bunker, and a practice putting green. This combination makes it the primary game improvement facility in the Coachella Valley.

The facility also serves as the home of First Tee – Coachella Valley, a youth development program that uses golf to teach character-building skills. The course is ideal for golfers looking to sharpen their short-game technique and work on the scoring portion of their game in a dedicated practice environment.
