Boulder at Cimarron Golf Club

Cimarron Golf Club's Boulder Course is a John Fought design located in Cathedral City, in the Coachella Valley east of Palm Springs. Fought, a former U.S. Amateur champion who has designed courses throughout the western United States, routed this layout amid the desert terrain characteristic of the region. The course takes its name from the prominent rock formations and boulder-strewn landscape that define the property's visual character and strategic demands.

The routing works through natural desert washes and around indigenous rock outcroppings, with fairways framed by native vegetation including ocotillo, creosote, and various cacti. Elevation changes are moderate but meaningful, providing varied perspectives of the surrounding San Jacinto and Santa Rosa mountain ranges. The design emphasizes strategic positioning off the tee, as many holes reward players who can work the ball around or away from the boulder fields that encroach on landing areas and greenside complexes.

Cimarron operates as a semi-private facility, offering both member and daily-fee play. The club serves the Cathedral City community and visiting golfers exploring the desert golf corridor. The Boulder Course shares the property with a second eighteen, providing options for members and guests. Conditioning reflects the desert environment, with firm, fast conditions typical during the prime winter and spring golf season when temperatures are moderate and the valley hosts much of its annual play.
