Indian Wells Country Club - A Golf Course Community in Indian Wells

"I Love Lucy" was and still is one of my favorite shows on television. It still makes me laugh and now my children enjoy it also. Did you know that Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz were co-founders of the Indian Wells Resort in 1957? Arguably one of the most historic golf clubs in the Coachella Valley, the Indian Wells Country Club was initially intended as an escape for the Hollywood movers and shakers of that era. When more people discovered its rustic beauty and scenic mountain views, Indian Wells became known as the "Fun Club of the Desert", a title it still claims to this day.

Indian Wells Country Club offers two courses featuring 36 challenging golf holes. The Classic Course is a par 72 with 6,500 yards of beautiful fairways and challenging greens. The Classic Course was designed in 1956 by Eddie Sussalla. This course was the original home to the Bob Hope Classic for many years. From February 19^th - 21^st, the Frank Sinatra Starkey Hearing Foundation Celebrity Invitational "Lucky 21", benefitting the Barbara Sinatra Children's Center at Eisenhower will be played here.

The Cove Course is an 18 hole, par 72, 6,558 yards championship course designed by Ted Robinson, Sr. and Indian Wells Country Club co-founder Eddie Sussalla. The Cove Course was built several years after the Classic Course and provides golfers unique challenges for every skill level.

There is a 70,000 square foot clubhouse, golf academy, a full calendar of "Club within the Club" activities and social events, including the desert's largest end of the season celebration, the "Pow Wow Party". Over 1,000 Members and Guests gather to celebrate another great year at Indian Wells Country Club. The Pow Wow party is considered one of the best "end of the season" Club events to attend in the desert.

There are approximately 900 homes in the area offering spectacular views of the nearby mountains and the feeling of relaxation that the desert lifestyle brings to so many residents and visitors to this region. Condos and single family homes range in size from 2,500 square feet to well over 5,000 square feet, and range in price from the low $300,000's to millions. You can also find a select few custom lots in this area, on which you can build your own custom dream home. Developments at Indian Wells Country Club include Mountain Gate, Sandpiper, Bergheer Condos, Villagio by Ministrelli and Painted Cove. In recent years many mid-century style homes have been modernized while others have been replaced with new homes.
