Cimarron Golf Resort

What Cimarron Golf Resort does

Cimarron Golf Resort is a privately held, single-location golf resort operating in Cathedral City, California, within the Coachella Valley/Palm Springs market since 1999. The company runs two distinct golf courses: the championship Boulder Course (Par 71, 6,747 yards, course rating 72.0, slope 124) and the executive Pebble Course (Par 55, up to 3,007 yards), both with panoramic views of the San Jacinto Mountains. It serves individual recreational golfers, members, corporate and group event clients, wedding and celebration clients, restaurant patrons, and golf students through an integrated facility that includes the On The Rocks restaurant, a pro shop stocking major brands (Callaway, Titleist, Adidas, FootJoy, Travis Mathew, etc.), practice facilities, and the Cimarron Golf Academy staffed by PGA-certified instructors.

The business operates a diversified, multi-stream revenue model anchored by green fee play on both courses, supplemented by annual memberships (Boulder Pass, Pebble Pass, Driving Range Pass, Player's Club, Men's Club, Ladies' Club), driving range passes and bucket sales, golf club and merchandise rental, golf instruction, corporate outings and tournaments, restaurant and beverage sales (on-site plus takeout/delivery via Toast), and wedding/event venue rentals. Distribution runs through a Quick18-powered tee-time booking engine on the company website, a dedicated iOS/Android mobile app, a daily-deals golf platform, organic social channels (Facebook, Instagram, X), and direct sales for tournaments and events. Go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer tee-time booking with event-driven corporate and wedding sales.

Underlying technology is light: the Quick18 reservation platform and mobile app handle bookings and customer engagement, while Toast powers the restaurant POS and online ordering. The company has not disclosed any funding events, M&A activity, AI/ML capabilities, patents, or proprietary software beyond the standard mobile-app and SaaS integrations typical of mid-market public golf operations. Leadership includes General Manager Katie Myers, Director of Golf Stiles Peterson, Golf Course Superintendent Mario Aguiar, and Events Coordinator Alejandra Rocha.
