If you've been searching for the ideal blend of Italian elegance, championship golf, and desert luxury living, Toscana Country Club in Indian Wells may be exactly what you've been looking for. Nestled behind private gates in one of the Coachella Valley's most coveted zip codes, Toscana is the rare community that delivers on every promise — from the fairways to the spa to the dinner table.
Whether you're a serious golfer looking for your permanent desert home or a discerning buyer seeking a second property that matches your lifestyle, here's everything you need to know about Toscana Country Club real estate, membership, and daily life inside the gates.
Two Jack Nicklaus Signature Courses — and Why That Matters
Toscana is home to 36 holes of Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf — not just one course, but two distinctly different championship layouts, each designed to challenge and delight golfers of all skill levels.
The South Course is a visual stunner: dramatic elevation changes, rolling greens, and a lush landscape palette that feels almost tropical against the Santa Rosa Mountains. The North Course takes a different approach entirely, with arroyos, indigenous desert vegetation, and a raw desert aesthetic that pays genuine homage to the natural Sonoran landscape.
Having two signature courses at your doorstep is a rare luxury. Most of the Coachella Valley's top communities offer a single championship layout. At Toscana, members can play an entirely different strategic game from one day to the next — a feature that serious golfers consistently rank as a primary reason for choosing the community.
The Homes: Italian-Inspired Elegance in the Desert
Toscana's 633 residences and estate sites are unified by a distinctly Italian architectural aesthetic — warm stucco, terra-cotta accents, barrel-tile roofs — that creates a cohesive sense of place you won't find in more generic desert communities. Homes range from approximately 2,790 to 7,000 square feet, with resale prices typically falling between $1.9 million and $5.5 million, and estate homes commanding up to $13 million.
All homes are on fee land — meaning you own the dirt beneath your home outright, not leased land — a distinction that matters enormously for long-term value and financing.
HOA fees run approximately $750–$795 per month, covering landscaping, common area maintenance, guard-gated security (24-hour staffed entry plus roving patrol), and access to the community's extensive amenities. For buyers in the $2M–$5M range, Toscana offers a compelling combination of architectural quality, mature landscaping, and a fully built-out amenity package that newer desert communities simply can't match.
Golf Membership: What to Budget
Country club living at Toscana requires a golf membership, and it's worth knowing the numbers before you fall in love with a property. Initiation fees for golf membership run approximately $150,000, with monthly dues of approximately $1,525. Combined with HOA fees, buyers should budget around $2,300–$2,400 per month in ongoing membership and community costs — a significant figure, but one consistent with Toscana's peer communities at the top of the Indian Wells and Palm Desert market.
Beyond Golf: The Toscana Lifestyle
What sets Toscana apart from purely golf-focused communities is the depth of its amenity ecosystem. Members enjoy access to:
- Spa Bella Vita — an award-winning spa named one of the top six most romantic spas in the world, offering a full menu of treatments in a serene Italian-inspired setting
- Multiple dining venues — Il Forno for fine dining, La Cucina for casual meals, and Il Caffè for morning espresso before a round
- Sports club — 4 tennis courts, 10 pickleball courts, bocce ball, a resort-style pool, and a full fitness center
- Active social calendar — member events, a bike club, hiking club, wellness seminars, and seasonal gatherings from October through May
The community's location in Indian Wells places it minutes from El Paseo — the desert's answer to Rodeo Drive — with world-class dining, shopping, galleries, and the McCallum Theatre for performing arts.
Is Toscana Country Club Right for You?
Toscana attracts a specific kind of buyer: someone who values privacy, elevated design, and a genuine country club social experience alongside serious golf. It's particularly well-suited to full-time residents and seasonal snowbirds who want a community where they'll feel equally at home on the course and at the dinner table.
While communities like Indian Ridge offer an Arnold Palmer-designed experience with a slightly more accessible price point, and The Hideaway draws buyers seeking ultra-private estate living, Toscana occupies a distinct niche: a fully mature, Italian-themed private club with two Nicklaus courses and an amenity depth that rewards year-round engagement.
