Cimarron Golf Club

Pebble at Cimarron Golf Club is a John Fought design located in Cathedral City, in the Coachella Valley of Southern California. Fought, a former U.S. Amateur champion who studied under Robert Trent Jones Jr. before establishing his own practice, brings a player's perspective to his architectural work. The course occupies desert terrain characteristic of the region, where golf development balances playability with the natural landscape of the Colorado Desert. The routing works through relatively flat valley floor terrain, typical of Cathedral City's geography at the base of the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa mountain ranges. Desert courses in this area generally feature wide fairways framed by native vegetation, with strategic bunkering and water features providing definition and challenge. The climate allows for year-round play, though summer temperatures often exceed 100 degrees, making the cooler months from November through April the primary season. Cimarron Golf Club operates as a daily-fee facility, serving both local residents and visitors to the greater Palm Springs area. The Coachella Valley hosts dozens of golf courses, and properties like Cimarron provide accessible options alongside the region's more exclusive private clubs and resort layouts. The course fits within the valley's tradition of desert golf that emerged in the mid-20th century and expanded significantly in subsequent decades as irrigation technology and design philosophy evolved to accommodate the arid environment.
