Bighorn Golf Club: Mountains

Palm Desert, CA Private

Overview

Set hard against the mountains, the aptly named Mountains course is one of two courses at Bighorn Golf Club ranked inside the top 30 on our Best in California list. The Arthur Hills design features some dramatic elevation changes, with many downhill tee shots providing fantastic vistas of Palm Springs down below. The course receives high marks from our panelists for its conditioning and aesthetics. In early 2018, the club completed a new 80,000-square-foot clubhouse that cost $70 million.
