Bighorn Golf Club Named One of the Best Private Clubs

Bighorn Golf Club


Back in the early 90’s when Bighorn Golf Club was taking shape… I was playing on the mini-tour and worked at Bighorn during the season. I had the opportunity to be there during the Skins Game days and to see it grow from a small private club… to what it has become today.

Last year, The Robb Report selected a Bighorn residence as the “Ultimate Home 2009” and Palm Springs Life readers voted the club Best of the Best Private Golf Course.

Situated at the foot of the stunning Santa Rosa Mountains, the club offers two dramatic golf courses: Tom Fazio’s Canyons Course features expansive rolling fairways and a trio of challenging holes, and the Arthur Hills’ Mountain Course provides rugged terrain and exacting design that caters to novice as well as expert players. Both courses bear the tread of golf’s living legends, including Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Annika Sorenstam, Tom Watson, and Payne Stewart. The Skins Game, The Battle at Bighorn, Senior PGA Match Play, and the LPGA Samsung World Championship are among the prestigious events played on these exclusive greens.

Bighorn Golf ClubBighorn Golf Club occupies a special place in the desert`s taxonomy of luxury country-club communities. Perched on the southernmost tip of Palm Desert's ascending desert floor, Bighorn straddles both sides of the Palms-to-Pines Highway 74, with each portion cradled by the imposing Santa Rosa Mountains. Boasting an incredible canyon-like entrance, with sculptures of Peninsula bighorn-sheep gamboling along the crest, the club promises and delivers unique delights. (During a June hike in the mountains above the enclave, my hiking companion and I spied a pair of bighorns keeping a close eye on us. They eventually leaped nimbly down the mountainside toward the club's grassy fairways no doubt.)

Bighorn Golf ClubTwo championship golf courses define the club`s man-made beauty; the development`s natural setting completes the stunning package. There`s even a natural oasis of California Fan palms with a legacy as a favorite hot spot for Hollywood royalty including Frank Sinatra and Gene Autry.

Bighorn Golf ClubThe Mountains Course at Bighorn Golf Club was designed in 1991 by Arthur Hills, who incorporated the natural splendors with a course offering spectacular elevations but accessible to all levels of play. Seven years later, Tom Fazio unveiled The Canyons Course on the east side of the club, offering up wide, rolling fairways and amazing water features. Players are immersed in a complete desert oasis. Three holes—the 16th, 17th and 18th—are widely regarded as the best in the desert.

Bighorn Golf ClubBighorn offers five dining establishments, a 40,000 square-foot clubhouse with magnificent down-valley views, and a Starbucks-serving Marketplace for grab-and-go items. The 13,000 square-foot Spa & Salon completes the world-class amenities of this stellar enclave.

A dedicated concierge assists residents with information, dining reservations, transportation, theatre tickets and club amenities.
