Desert Dunes Golf Club - Robert Trent Jones Jr
publicDesert Dunes Golf Club in Desert Hot Springs is a Robert Trent Jones Jr. design that brings a links-inspired aesthetic to the Coachella Valley desert, with wide-open fairways, natural sand waste areas, and a routing that embraces the desert landscape rather than imposing an irrigated parkland overlay onto it. The course plays on sandy, undulating terrain reminiscent of Scottish linksland transposed to the California desert, with native desert vegetation replacing seaside grasses and the San Jacinto Mountains standing in for distant sea cliffs. Wind is a constant factor at Desert Dunes, amplifying the links character and demanding creative shot-making and thoughtful course management. Robert Trent Jones Jr.'s design philosophy of working with natural terrain rather than against it is evident throughout, resulting in one of the more distinctive and honest desert golf layouts in the Coachella Valley. Green fees are significantly lower than comparable Jones-designed courses in Palm Springs proper.
Desert Dunes Golf Club was designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and opened in 1989 in Desert Hot Springs, one of the Coachella Valley's less glamorous but more affordably accessible communities. Jones Jr. embraced the sandy desert terrain and prevailing winds to create a links-influenced layout that has distinguished itself from the more conventional resort designs dominating the valley. The course has maintained a loyal following among golfers who prefer its more naturalistic, honest character.
