The Vintage Club COURSE Review

As its name suggests, the Vintage Club is one of the most prestigious golfing facilities in the United States, being an ultra exclusive (private) country club community; some even say its the best in California. The golf courses at the Vintage are widely recognized as the pinnacle of golf design among their peers, as they sit nicely tucked on an exquisite piece of real estate, a natural cove actually, located at the base of Eisenhower Mountain in Indian Wells, the Golden State. As far as outstanding locations go, the Vintage Club can fight and win in a landslide against the best in the business, as it was built on an epic 712 acre oasis in the Coachella Valley. The golf courses at the Vintage Club are that kind of places golfers like to fantasize about and I must tell you that after playing them both, golf doesnt get any better than that, believe me folks.

Being a luxury residential community, the Vintage Club harbors no less than two championship grade golf courses, both masterpieces designed by the world famous architect Tom Fazio. Theres the Desert Course and the Mountain Course, the latter being the Vintage Clubs original golf course, which sits in the shadow of the epic Mount Eisenhower. The Desert Course is located a tad farther away from the same Mount Eisenhower, boasting a jaw dropping landscaping, placid streams and lakes and panoramic desert views. Both courses have been consistently rated high among the best in the United States by prestigious golf magazines and they live up to the clubs name. The Desert Course at the Vintage Club makes for a starkingly beautiful contrast compared to the Mountain Course, thanks to its palo verde trees, sparkling water features, the wildflowers and desert cacti, not to mention the wave type bunkers that will provide you with the opportunity to take an exhilarating shot from virtually any tee box. The Mountain Course has a superb layout, which balances perfectly playability and challenge, due to its signature Fazio bunkering, lush fairways, bent grass greens and arguably the best views in California.
