Desert Island Country Club in Rancho Mirage occupies a genuinely unique Coachella Valley setting — the course literally wraps around an island surrounded by a man-made lake, creating a visually distinctive and atmospheric layout unlike any other desert golf experience. The island concept means water is omnipresent throughout the round, with the surrounding lake visible from most holes and several holes requiring carries over water to reach the fairway. Named in part for its Frank Sinatra Drive address (Frank Sinatra was a celebrated Rancho Mirage resident), the course carries a glamorous Rat Pack-era association with Palm Springs' golden age. The desert views of the Santa Rosa Mountains complement the waterfront setting, creating a lush-meets-arid contrast distinctive to the Coachella Valley. The semi-private facility offers public access while maintaining conditioning standards befitting its Rancho Mirage address.
Desert Island Country Club was developed in Rancho Mirage as part of the broader Coachella Valley golf and resort boom that transformed the Palm Springs area into a world-class leisure destination. The course's island concept was a design innovation intended to maximize the lakeside setting and create a memorable visual identity in a valley with dozens of competing golf facilities. The Frank Sinatra Drive address reflects the celebrity culture that defined Rancho Mirage during its postwar heyday.
