Ironwood Country Club, Palm Desert CA, is one of the area’s premier private country club communities. Developed on 800 acres, Ironwood is nestled within a cove bordered by rugged mountain terrain and endless down-valley views.
Homes and condos in Ironwood offer a diverse mix of distinctive architecture, from expansive planned unit development to custom estate homes. Residences are located on and off the golf courses, many of them offering spectacular valley views.
Ironwood’s history is directly linked with Palm Desert’s emergence as one of the country’s top golf resort destinations. Arnold Palmer was instrumental in Ironwood’s beginnings. This member owned and operated club offers two courses that were redesigned 2002-2004. Originally designed by Desmond Muirhead and Ted Robinson, in consultation with Arnold Palmer, the courses have been enhanced by the strategic redesign of several holes by former PGA player, John Fought, renowned golf course architect.
Ironwood’s challenging South Course (Par 72) enjoys the distinction of serving as the annual host to a U.S. Open qualifying round. Its eight sets of tees play from 4,757 to 7,256 yards, allowing for maximum versatility for golfers at all skill levels. The South Course offers striking and unobstructed views of its natural environment, dramatic water features and picturesque lakes.
The North Course (Par 70) offers both walk-ability and play-ability from 4,455 to 6,065 yards and rewards player accuracy. Don’t be misled by the shorter yardage; the North Course offers some of the most scenic and challenging holes in the desert.
