About this course
Mountain Course at Vintage Club, nestled in the heart of Indian Wells, represents a pinnacle of desert golf luxury, born from a desire to provide members with a playing experience as visually arresting as it is strategically demanding. Designed in the early 1980s, the course's modern architectural style takes full advantage of the Coachella Valley's dramatic landscape. The routing carves through rolling terrain at the base of the Santa Rosa Mountains, with towering rock formations and carefully cultivated desert flora framing each hole. Characterized by generous fairways that reward power off the tee, Mountain requires careful thought on approach shots, with well-guarded greens and subtly contoured putting surfaces. A subtle preference for a draw can be advantageous on several holes. Tom Fazio, the original architect, imbued the Mountain course with his signature blend of playability and visual splendor. While no major professional tournaments have graced its fairways, the course is highly regarded within the exclusive community it serves. The Vintage Club has long been a sanctuary for discerning golfers, attracting captains of industry, celebrities, and influential figures seeking a tranquil escape and challenging golf within an environment of understated elegance. Beyond the exceptional golf, the Mountain Course experience extends to the club's culinary offerings. The Vintage Club is renowned for its exceptional dining, and the club's reputation extends to the exceptional execution of classic American fare, as well as a wide array of international cuisines.
