The neighbourhoods

Where Rancho Mirage actually breaks down, in the desk's own words.

Full neighbourhood file →

Thunderbird Heights

Gated hillside enclave developed in the 1950s adjacent to Thunderbird Country Club, with mid-century modern estates by architects including Howard Lapham and William Cody.

Thunderbird Country Club

Opened in 1951 as the Coachella Valley's first 18-hole golf course and has hosted the Ryder Cup.

Tamarisk Country Club

Established in 1952 with 65 original members including Jack Benny and George Burns; Frank Sinatra owned a compound on its 17th fairway.

The Springs Country Club

Master-planned villa community built starting 1974 around an 18-hole Desmond Muirhead-designed course, one of the last member-owned resort communities in the valley.

Mission Hills Country Club

Opened in 1971 with the Desmond Muirhead-designed Dinah Shore Tournament Course, later adding an Arnold Palmer course in 1979; owned by ClubCorp since 1993.

Rancho Las Palmas Country Club

Roughly 870-residence condo and golf community on the former Desert Air airstrip site; the club began operating in 1976 with a Ted Robinson-designed 27-hole course around six lakes.

A day around here

Ordinary life in Rancho Mirage, the way it actually runs — not a highlight reel.

Morning

An early walk at Bloch Cancer Survivors Park, before the day starts properly.

Afternoon

An hour at Wolfson Park, between the errands that never show up on a listing sheet.

Evening

Dinner at State Fare Kitchen, then a short drive back to whichever neighbourhood you call home.
