I specialize in these and other communities in the Palm Desert area. To learn more about buying or selling a home in these unique communities please contact me for assistance.

The Reserve
Located on a slope at the foot of the Santa Rosas, The Reserve offers a premier country club atmosphere that stresses privacy, luxury and the incorporation of indigenous desert terrain. A relative newcomer to the valley's high-end real estate scene, The Reserve was built in 1999 and offers 21 holes of golf designed by the famed Weiskopf/Moorish design duo. The 18-hole championship course (and its three practice holes) offers a challenging target golf experience steering players through the rustic canyons and hillside. In addition to the golf, tennis, swimming and hi-tech fitness facilities, The Reserve is noted for its elegantly-appointed Tuscan clubhouse complete with indoor and outdoor dining. New home sales and resales within The Reserve are currently available and begin in the $1,000,000 range.

The Hideaway
The Dramatic Vistas of the Santa Rosa Mountains are the backdrop for the residences at The Hideaway. Designed to reflect the architecture of early California, a Spanish Colonial Revival Style is utilized with Mediterranean-inspired accents. The 475 residential units will be a mixture of custom homes, built on one-third to one-half acre lots, and single-family homes and golf villas designed to meet the unique needs of each buyer's individual lifestyle. The artistically designed 36 golf holes consist of an 18-hole course by Pete Dye, and an 18-hole course by Clive Clark. The Hideaway's club membership is limited to Hideaway residents and founders.

Bighorn Golf Club
The host for numerous nationally-televised golf events, Bighorn Golf Club is widely regarded as one of the most exclusive country club atmospheres on the West Coast. Set elevated above the valley floor and boasting two world-class golf courses by names such as Fazio & Hills, Bighorn is a custom and semi-custom home community with home values ranging from $2,000,000 to $7,000,000. Carved into this rugged terrain, Bighorn's Mountain and Canyon course deliver a dynamic golf experience and create the ideal setting for dramatic valley architecture.

Citrus Golf Club
One of three golf courses within the La Quinta Resort & Club Heritage Membership program, the Citrus Golf Club is located in the city of La Quinta and as the name suggests, was created within a vast grove of mature grapefruit trees. Designed in 1987 by world-renown golf course architect Pete Dye, the Citrus course is considered by many as one of the most challenging courses in the valley and over the years has played host to numerous PGA and nationally-televised golf events. During the early-to-mid 1990's the Citrus came to fruition with a handful of developers offering both attached and freestanding homes that capitalized on the Citrus' spectacular fairway and mountain views. Currently, both resales and new homes sales are available and plans are in the works for a second Citrus golf course directly across the Jefferson entrance.

The Tradition Golf Club
Built on the grounds of a rustic La Quinta ranch, The Tradition is an Arnold Palmer designed golf club whose undulating fairways are lined with both mature landscaping and multi-million dollar custom homes. Exuding an early-California architectural warmth, homes within The Tradition offer incredible mountain and fairway views - some homes have even been sculpted right into mountainscape. In addition to the course's ultra-green fairways, The Tradition offers players and homeowners a visual feast complete with streams, mature landscaping, crushed white marble sand traps and an incredible cascading waterfall spilling from the hillside.

Rancho La Quinta Country Club
Regarded as one of the more lushly landscaped country club communities within the valley, Rancho La Quinta offers two championship golf courses (Robert Trent Jones Jr., & Jerry Pate), a premier fitness with racquet club and a broad range of real estate opportunities. As its name suggests, Rancho La Quinta places emphasis on an early-Californian theme with the clubhouse and homes' architecture reflecting a Mission/Mediterranean exterior. The community's proximity to both the Santa Rosas and local shopping make Rancho La Quinta a highly coveted address forseasonal and year-round desert residents.

The Quarry at La Quinta
Considered by many as the finest golf course in California, The Quarry At La Quinta is the valley's ultra-exclusive, high-end golf and real estate milieu. Set elevated above the valley floor, The Quarry's 7,000-yard golf course is a Tom Fazio design carved into the precipitous cliffs of La Quinta's Santa Rosa foothills. In addition to the countless mature palms and imported, rare vegetation, The Quarry's fairways are also lined with some of the most dramatic and view inspired architecture found in the desert.

Indian Wells Country Club
One of the most historic golf clubs in the Coachella Valley, Indian Wells Country Club was built in 1955 by co-founder and actor Desi Arnez. Initially intended to be an escape for Hollywood mogels and captains of industry, Indian Wells Country Club soon saw its membership rise as more and more people discovered its rustic mountain scenery and secluded location. Since that period, Indian Wells Country Club has experienced incredible growth with both buyers and builders continuing to admire the area for its natural beauty, famed past and central location. Testament to this, the club retains its status as the main host club for the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic - an annual nationally-televised charitable event that attracts both celebrities and professional golfers from around the world. Designed by Harry Rainville, the original 3 9-hole courses are noted for their mature landscaping, tight fairways and their incorporation of the Santa Rosa foothills. With the last nine holes of golf completed during 2001, Indian Wells Country Club now offers 36 holes of golf and presents both resale opportunities as well as new construction.
