INTRODUCTION
There are private clubs and then there is The Vintage Club. Ranked #1 in the Western United States, #3 in the Country, and #17 in the World by Platinum Clubs of America (2024), The Vintage Club in Indian Wells, Californiastands at the absolute pinnacle of private club living in the American West. This is not a matter of opinion. It is a matter of record.
Established in 1979 and spanning 712 acres nestled in a natural cove at the foot of Eisenhower Mountain, The Vintage Club was designed from the very beginning to host a lifestyle centered on relaxation, golf, tennis, fitness, and social interaction among people who have reached the very top of their fields. As a seasoned member once stated, "If there's a common thread to the membership it's that most everyone is a self-made success."
The club's roster has included Bill Gates, Lee Iacocca, and golf and wine entrepreneur Ely Callaway. PGA Tour professionals Matt Kuchar, Jason Day, and Tiger Woods are members and regularly stop by to give clinics to members and guests. In 1981 The Vintage hosted the PGA Senior Tour where golf greats including Arnold Palmer and Sam Snead played the Mountain Course. President George W. Bush and Bob Hope are among the many celebrated figures who have enjoyed the Vintage's iconic fairways over the decades.
Two Tom Fazio-designed championship courses wind through sparkling streams, crystal-clear waterfalls, and the dramatic desert landscape of the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains. An 85,000 sq ft clubhouse underwent a landmark $25 million renovation in 2015 and now serves as one of the most spectacular private club social spaces in the country.
Membership at The Vintage Club is by invitation only. Members must own real estate within the community. With 513 homes across four distinct residence types and prices ranging from $1.5M to $15M+, The Vintage Club represents the highest tier of private residential living in the Coachella Valley.

THE COURSES
The Vintage Club features two Tom Fazio-designed 18-hole championship courses, both regarded as among the finest private layouts in Southern California.
The Mountain Course
18 holes | Par 72 | 7,138 yards | Rating 81.5 | Slope 148
Designed by Tom Fazio and Dennis Wise | Opened 1980 | Redesigned by Tom Fazio 2014
The more challenging and scenic of the two courses, the Mountain Course opened for play in 1980 as the first Fazio course at The Vintage. Playing to 7,138 yards from the championship tees with a remarkable rating of 81.5 and slope of 148, it features bent grass greens, lush fairways, signature Fazio bunkering, and sweeping views of Eisenhower Mountain from virtually every hole. Tom Fazio completed a comprehensive redesign of the course in 2014, voted Golf Digest "2015 Best New Re-Design." The Mountain Course is widely regarded as the crown jewel of Vintage Club golf.
The Mountain Course hosted the PGA Senior Tour in 1981 with Arnold Palmer and Sam Snead in the field. No tee times are required for members.
The Desert Course
18 holes | Par 72 | 6,515 yards | Rating 72.0 | Slope 134
Designed by Tom Fazio, Dennis Wise, and Jackson Kahn Design | Opened March 1984

Playing to 6,515 yards with a rating of 72.0 and slope of 134, it offers a more playable and enjoyable round while still delivering the full Fazio design experience. Sparkling streams, crystal-clear waterfalls, and challenging water features wind through the course against the backdrop of the Santa Rosa Mountains.
