A New Name for a Great Place!

The Golf Center at Palm Desert has a new name: The First Tee of the Coachella Valley. For years, the Desert Recreation District golf facility has served the needs of valley residents and visitors with options for an affordable golf experience. Now, while continuing to meet the needs of adults in the valley, The First Tee of the Coachella Valley also serves valley youth in a program developing golf skills and life skills based on nine core values.

Better than Ever

During the past eighteen months, our facility has experienced several milestones. In preparation for the launch of the Coachella Valley chapter of The First Tee, the golf course was reopened in 2008 after extensive renovations. Soon after, the course became rated by the Southern California Golf Association. The clubhouse was redesigned with an updated pro shop and classroom space for use by The First Tee students and by adult golf groups. Now, the driving range has been reopened, providing an opportunity for a full golf experience at The First Tee of the Coachella Valley.

Golf for Everyone

Desert Recreation District invites you to enjoy a complete experience at our learning center with our driving range, our 9- hole, Par 3 golf course and our expanded pro shop.
