What desert horizons country club does

Desert Horizons Country Club is a member-owned private golf and country club community in Indian Wells, California. It serves golf-focused and social members, seasonal and year-round residents, and homeowners through golf, racquet sports, fitness, wellness, dining, and social programs. Its membership proposition includes tiered Full Golf, Associate Golf, Social, and Invitational options, plus a 60/90 Day Guest Privilege for prospective members.

Core assets include an 18-hole Ted Robinson-designed championship golf course, a 40,000-square-foot clubhouse, a Fitness and Wellness Center, a Courts Pavilion, dining venues, a pro shop, practice facilities, and spa and social programs. Clubessential is the central disclosed member-facing technology, supporting tee-time, court, and dining reservations, the club calendar, directory access, and communications.

Its revenue mechanics combine one-time membership initiation fees, recurring annual dues, and transaction-based food and beverage sales; the pro shop provides an additional retail stream. Acquisition is direct through phone, email, membership inquiry forms, a complimentary guide, site visits, and trial privileges rather than third-party distribution. Pricing and revenue are not publicly disclosed, so the data does not support a quantified revenue estimate.
