The Pool
The heart of the property since 1946 — and still the best seat in Palm Desert on a summer evening.

The Archive
Shadow Mountain, then.
When the club opened in 1946, Palm Desert was barely a town. The pool, the diving tower and the courts drew the valley in — and the grounds have been in play ever since.
The Grounds
A club built for the long afternoon.
Twenty-seven courts, a pool that has anchored the valley since 1946, and a pro shop stocked for people who actually play.
The Courts
Tennis, pickleball and padel across one campus, lit until 10pm when the desert finally cools.
The Pro Shop
Paddles, strings, shoes and demos — Selkirk, Joola, CRBN and more, right off the courts.
The Terrace
Fire pits, shade and a full bar — where matches get relitigated long after the last point.
Junior Academy
Learn, play, grow. Year-round coaching from first racquet to tournament draw.
Dining
Casual, unfussy, and open to the courts. Exactly what you want after three sets.
Play
Three sports. One campus.
12
Tennis
Lit for evening play, with league and tournament programming year-round.
12
Pickleball
Dedicated courts and open play daily — the fastest-growing corner of the club.
3
Padel
Glass-walled padel, still rare in the desert, and the quickest game to fall for.
Community
Serve & Splash, and the rest of the calendar.
Family festivals, junior clinics, member mixers and community meetings. The club has always been the valley's living room — the programming just keeps it that way.
