INTRODUCTION
Desert Princess Country Club holds a very special place in the heart of Stacy Thoman. Before she became one of the Coachella Valley's most trusted real estate specialists, Stacy's mother Laurie Risnes was the original sales agent who sold all of the homes at Desert Princess from the very beginning. And as a young woman growing up in the Coachella Valley, Stacy took her tennis lessons right here at Desert Princess Country Club, building memories and a love for this community that have never left her.
That personal connection matters because Desert Princess is a community that rewards genuine knowledge. One of the most expansive, diverse, and genuinely resort-like private golf communities in the Greater Palm Springs area, Desert Princess Country Club is a full-service gated resort community of approximately 1,200 homes and condominiums on 27 holes of PGA championship golf in the heart of Cathedral City. The community includes an on-site DoubleTree by Hilton hotel, a full-service restaurant and bar with a 20% resident discount, 33 swimming pools and spas, 10 tennis courts, pickleball courts, a health and fitness center, and one of the most compelling short-term rental programs of any private golf community in the Coachella Valley.
Short-term rentals are allowed with a minimum of just 3 days, making Desert Princess one of the most investment-friendly private golf communities in the desert. With homes ranging from approximately $208,000 to $890,000+ and an HOA of $995/month that includes cable TV, internet, country club social membership, tennis, fitness center, and 33 pools, Desert Princess delivers extraordinary value for buyers who want a genuine resort lifestyle with real investment income potential.
Located at 28555 Landau Boulevard in Cathedral City, Desert Princess is just 10 minutes from downtown Palm Springs and 20 minutes from El Paseo in Palm Desert, making it one of the most centrally located private golf communities in the entire valley.

HISTORY
Desert Princess Country Club was developed as a full-service resort community in Cathedral City, conceived from the beginning with the vision of combining private golf club living with hotel resort amenities in a single gated environment. The 27-hole PGA championship course was built as the centerpiece of the community, with three distinct nine-hole layouts providing maximum variety for residents.
The DoubleTree by Hilton hotel on site has made Desert Princess genuinely unique among private golf communities in the Coachella Valley, providing a hospitality infrastructure that supports both the resort lifestyle of residents and the robust short-term rental market that makes Desert Princess one of the most investment-friendly golf communities in the desert.
The original homes at Desert Princess were sold by Laurie Risnes, one of the most accomplished real estate professionals in Coachella Valley history, from the very beginning of the community's development. Her daughter, Stacy Thoman, grew up in this community, taking her tennis lessons on the Desert Princess courts and absorbing a knowledge and love for this property that she carries into every client relationship today.
Today Desert Princess Country Club is recognized as one of the most diverse, accessible, and investment-friendly private golf communities in the Greater Palm Springs area, consistently attracting buyers who want resort-quality amenities, championship golf, and the income potential of a legitimate short-term rental program all in one address.
