Spring in the desert may bring high winds - please be aware of this.

Summer months are the slow season in the Coachella valley and it is possible that not all resort amenities will be available. For example, some spas may not be heated or the main dining room at the clubhouse may be closed but the snack bar is typically open.

October is seeding time in the Coachella Valley and the golf course may be closed at this time so that we can prepare the best possible turf for our guests. For specific information, please call the golf club.

When visiting Coachella valley please enjoy our beautiful windmills. When warm desert air mixes with cooler coastal air, it can create the a windy environment, with the highest wind speeds occurring in the hot summer months.
