INTRODUCTION
Canyon Country Club is one of the most historically significant and naturally beautiful residential communities in Palm Springs. Nestled along the fairways of what was once the Canyon Country Club private golf course, a legendary venue that opened in 1961 as a favorite of Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope, Jackie Gleason, Walt Disney, and US Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Ronald Reagan, the Canyon Country Club residential communities occupy one of the most storied and scenically extraordinary pieces of land in the entire Coachella Valley.
Today the golf course is known as Indian Canyons Golf Resort, a 36-hole public championship facility set on 550 acres of Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians tribal land at the base of the San Jacinto Mountains. The same fairways where Sinatra played, where Presidents walked, and where the famous Walt Disney Fountain shoots 100 feet into the air between the 9th and 18th holes of the North Course are now enjoyed by Canyon Country Club residents every single day.
The Canyon Country Club residential communities sit directly on and adjacent to these historic fairways in South Palm Springs, offering mid-century modern condominiums with sweeping views of the emerald green fairways, three shimmering lakes, and the dramatic San Jacinto Mountain backdrop. The Indian Canyons hiking trails at the base of the mountains begin literally at the community's doorstep, offering some of the most spectacular hiking in Southern California just steps from the front gate.
Canyon Country Club encompasses two distinct neighborhoods: Canyon Country Club Colony (38 vintage 1964 mid-century modern units) and Canyon Country Club Estados (120 condominiums built 1977), each with its own HOA, floor plans, and pricing. Both communities are on Indian leased land expiring in 2063.

HISTORY
The story of Canyon Country Club begins with one of the most storied private golf clubs in Palm Springs history. The Canyon Country Club opened in 1961 as a private club on 550 acres of Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians tribal land at the base of the San Jacinto Mountains.

Eisenhower, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Ronald Reagan all played these fairways. The club became one of the most celebrated private golf venues in Southern California during Palm Springs' golden era.
The residential communities along the fairways were built in phases: Canyon Country Club Colony in 1964 with 38 vintage mid-century modern condominiums and Canyon Country Club Estados in 1977 with 120 condominiums on 11 landscaped acres.
The golf course was later transitioned to its current semi-public format as Indian Canyons Golf Resort, managed by the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians. The South Course was comprehensively redesigned in 2004 by Casey O'Callaghan with LPGA Hall of Famer Amy Alcott. Today Indian Canyons Golf Resort is one of the most beloved public golf facilities in Palm Springs, and the Canyon Country Club residential communities remain among the most scenically and historically remarkable addresses in the city.
