TTC Palms has stood on this stretch of Palm Desert since 1948 — through the original tennis golden age, the pickleball boom, and the rise of padel. Through it all, the standard has stayed the same: competitive excellence, a vibrant community, and a desert-luxury experience that doesn't rush itself.
In 1948, when Palm Desert was still mostly desert and the Coachella Valley was a half-day's drive from Los Angeles, a small group of tennis players staked out a few hard courts on the edge of town. The clubhouse was modest. The membership was tight. The standard — even then — was unhurried excellence.

Today TTC Palms is home to twenty-seven courts across tennis, pickleball, and padel — the desert's first dedicated padel program. The clubhouse has expanded but the philosophy hasn't budged: a private club for members who want competitive sport in a community that knows their name.
