About Mountain Vista Golf Club

Mountain Vista Golf Club in Palm Desert features two championship courses designed by Billy Casper, a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame. The property's Santa Rosa and San Gorgonio layouts each have their own character: one emphasizes strategic shot-making and broad views across the surrounding landscape, while the other plays as a more forgiving but still engaging test.

Set in the Coachella Valley with its year-round sunshine, the club's fairways and greens are kept in well-tended condition. Having two distinct 18-hole courses on one site makes the facility a bit unusual for the Greater Palm Springs area, and the pairing suits both golfers new to the game and more experienced players.
