Avondale Golf Club prints its address as 75800 Avondale Drive, Palm Desert, CA 92211. The golf page calls the course 18 holes, par 72, 6,782 yards, designed by Jimmy Hines. The home page calls it a Non-Equity Private Club. The amenities page on the same site calls it member-owned. Neither page says what a recorded deed does with the club.
Where is Avondale Golf Club in Palm Desert?
Palm Desert. The contact page and the footer both use 75800 Avondale Drive, Palm Desert, California 92211. Golf Digest's directory uses that street, lists the club as private, and adds the ZIP+4 92211-7024. The contact page gives the admin office as 760.345.2727 and the golf shop as 760.345.3712.
On those pages the name is Avondale Golf Club. In the closed-sale file below, the subdivision field is Avondale Country Club. It is not a second club.
The home page says "a tradition of golf and friendship for over 55 years," and the next block says "for over 50 years." That is not a founding date. Sierra Golf Management's acquisition release says the club was established in 1969. A member account on the about page says that in 1970 the club was named Del Safari. Two sources, not one timeline. The current site has no history page that picks the year or prints the old name as a heading.
What course did Jimmy Hines design?
Eighteen holes. The golf page names Jimmy Hines, par 72, and 6,782 yards, with mature oak, pine, and eucalyptus, contoured greens, and bunkers. The home page calls the ground Midwestern in style. Golf Digest lists the same designer, 18 holes, a length of 6,782, and slope 131, private, at the same street. The digest page does not print a par. Use the club's par 72. Neither page says which tee the 6,782 yards comes from. Ask the golf shop before a flyer names a tee.
The social page names three rooms: the Main Dining Room and terrace, the Garden Dining Room and Bar, and The Lookout Sports Bar. It places The Lookout about 40 feet up, with a nearly 360-degree view from the Santa Rosa Mountains to the Little San Bernardino Mountains. The amenities page lists tennis, pickleball, a fitness center near the golf shop, and golf and card groups. It does not give a court count, so this guide does not either.
Does a house at Avondale include membership?
The club does not say yes, and it does not say no.
The home page, read October 2, 2026, says Avondale "provides members a wonderful experience in a Non-Equity Private Club." The membership page publishes no categories, no dues, and no sentence about the deed. It repeats a non-equity line twice, both times mistyped: "Non-Equity Private Memebr/Club" and "Private Non-Member/Club." The social page says "Private Non-Equity Owned Golf Club." The amenities page says "Private Member-Owned Golf Club." Four pages, not one rule. Membership questions go to 760.345.2727, extension 2240.
A brokerage summary that is not avondalegolfclub.com still calls Avondale a private equity club and says every homeowner is a resident social member: dining, events, fitness, tennis, and pickleball, plus limited golf that is not a full card. Dollar figures on that page stay off this one. They are not on the club site. An older memberplaces.com page still calls the club fully member-owned and gives both 1969 and 1970 as start dates. That is not the current club site either.
Listing remarks in the closed-sale file often say the association fee includes a social membership and that golf is optional or bought separately. The lowest sale, a condominium, says "Optional golf membership is available for this private club." Remarks are not the CC&Rs. The contact page does not name an association manager or an association phone. Get the membership letter from the club and the resale package for the house. Until both are in hand, do not tell a buyer the golf card came with the keys, and do not tell a buyer there is no social card at all.
Did Sierra Golf Management acquire the club?
Sierra's own release announces the acquisition and calls Avondale its first owned private club. The release page, as opened, has no closing date. It does date the club's establishment to 1969. A July 28, 2025 Golf Inc item, reprinted on VCP Golf and opened for this guide, lists Avondale Golf Club in Palm Desert among Sierra's latest California acquisitions. That is the 2025 date in hand. It is not a closing date, and it does not name a seller.
"First owned private club" and the amenities page's "member-owned" cannot both be the structure in force. Ask the club which sentence still applies before anyone describes equity, voting rights, or a certificate.
What have homes in this subdivision actually closed for?
Closed sales in one file, not a valuation and not a current list price. Status C, city Palm Desert, ZIP 92211, subdivision exactly "Avondale Country Club": 74 closings from October 1, 2021 through August 20, 2026. Prices run from $429,000 to $1,940,000. The median is $754,500.
Sixty-eight cards are Book Section Single Family Residence. Six are Condominium. The floor, $429,000, closed July 28, 2025, is a condominium. The remarks call it a townhome, which agrees with that code. It is not a detached house, a lot, or a co-ownership. The top of the file, $1,940,000, closed October 4, 2022, is coded single-family. One other card is coded Single Family Residence, closed March 7, 2025, at $485,000, while the remarks call it a condominium. Code and remarks do not match. Do not use that card as the floor. Year built runs from the early 1970s into cards coded 2026. That is the stock that sold, not a club opening year.
How is this different from Monterey Country Club?
Different course, different stock. Monterey Country Club is a 27-hole Ted Robinson club whose closed file is condominiums, and whose membership writings also fail to agree. Avondale is one Hines eighteen, and most of these closes are coded single-family. For the city around the address, start with the Palm Desert neighborhood page. The short note already on the site is the Avondale Golf Club developments page. If that note prints a rename year, or treats non-equity as settled, use the club pages.
What should you confirm before you write an offer?
Is Avondale Golf Club in Palm Desert?
Yes. 75800 Avondale Drive, Palm Desert, CA 92211. Admin office 760.345.2727. Golf shop 760.345.3712. The club site says Avondale Golf Club. This file's subdivision name is Avondale Country Club.
How many holes, and who designed them?
18 holes on the club golf page: Jimmy Hines, par 72, 6,782 yards. Golf Digest lists the same length, the same designer, and slope 131. It does not name the tee.
Is the club non-equity, and does the house include golf?
Do not pick one page. The home page says Non-Equity Private Club. The amenities page says member-owned. Sierra says it acquired the club and calls it the company's first owned private club. A July 28, 2025 report places that acquisition among current deals. The club site does not say the deed includes golf. A brokerage page says homeowners are resident social members and that a full golf card is separate. Get the letter from membership, extension 2240, and the association documents, before you write the offer.
Was this club called Del Safari?
A member account on the about page says that in 1970 the club was named Del Safari. The site does not put that name in a history heading, and it does not give a rename year. Sierra's release says established in 1969 and does not use the old name. Confirm the name history if a flyer needs it.
What did the closed sales in this file actually span?
74 closes from October 1, 2021 through August 20, 2026, subdivision Avondale Country Club, from $429,000 to $1,940,000, median $754,500. The floor is a condominium, not a house. These are closed sales in that file, not an appraisal.
