North at Toscana Country Club

The North Course at Toscana Country Club in Indian Wells is a Jack Nicklaus design that opened in the late 1990s as part of a private residential golf community in the Coachella Valley. Nicklaus routed the course across desert terrain typical of the region, incorporating natural arroyos, native vegetation, and views of the surrounding Santa Rosa and San Jacinto mountain ranges. The layout reflects Nicklaus's design principles from this era, with strategic bunkering, generous landing areas for members, and greens that reward accurate approach play.

The course plays through a setting that balances desert character with the manicured conditions expected at high-end California desert clubs. Elevation changes are moderate, and the routing takes advantage of the natural contours to create visual interest and variety in shot values. Water features appear on several holes, and the bunkering style is consistent with Nicklaus's work in desert environments during this period.

Toscana operates as a private equity club serving a membership that includes both full-time residents and seasonal visitors to the desert. The club offers the North Course alongside a second eighteen designed by Nicklaus, providing members with variety in their golf experience. The facility includes practice areas and clubhouse amenities typical of upscale desert country clubs in the Indian Wells and Palm Desert corridor.
