Toscana Country Club sits on roughly 640 acres in Indian Wells, between Cook Street, Eldorado Drive, Hovley Lane East, and Fred Waring Drive. Two Jack Nicklaus Signature courses run through 631 homes and estate homesites. The Club Villa reads more like an Italian hill town than a rec building beside a parking lot.
Buyers come for Nicklaus golf, gated residential streets, and a Club Villa that covers dining, spa, tennis, and pickleball on property. A house inside the gates is not a membership. Initiation, dues, and Membership Committee approval sit on a separate ledger from the deed and the HOA. Current Resident Equity figures for the 2025-2026 season live in our companion Toscana membership cost 2026 guide and on our Toscana Country Club developments page.
What makes Toscana's two Nicklaus courses different?
Toscana offers 36 holes of Jack Nicklaus Signature golf: the South Course and the North Course. The South Course uses elevation, rolling greens, and a lush plant palette against the Santa Rosa Mountains. The North Course works desert arroyos and indigenous vegetation into the play.
Having two signature layouts at your doorstep is uncommon in the Coachella Valley, where many private clubs center on a single championship eighteen. Golf members can change strategy from one day to the next without leaving the community. The club's 2025-2026 brochure caps Equity Golf at 275 members on each course (550 in all) and states that tee times are not required for golf members. Instruction sits at the Bill Harmon Performance Center beside the Golf Shop and locker rooms.
What are Toscana homes like in Indian Wells?
Residences share an Italian-inspired residential language: warm stucco, terra-cotta accents, and barrel-tile roofs that hold a consistent streetscape. Product runs from attached homes to estate homesites. Homes sit on fee land, so you own the dirt beneath the structure rather than a leased pad.
Toscana is a resale market now, not a pioneer tract. We do not invent list-price bands here. Confirm asking prices, days on market, and condition on the specific address, then browse current Indian Wells homes for sale for citywide inventory context.
Does buying at Toscana include golf membership?
No. Owning a Toscana home or homesite does not create Club membership. The Membership Committee still has to approve you, and initiation still has to be paid.
According to Toscana Country Club's Resident Membership brochure (November 2025), Resident Equity Golf initiation is $180,000 with monthly dues of $3,720. Resident Equity Sports Club and Spa initiation is $120,000 with monthly dues of $1,590 (limit 175). Sports and Spa members use Club facilities except the golf courses and practice areas. All dues, fees, and charges are subject to change. Confirm current figures with Membership at 760-404-1560 before you budget an offer. For staged deposits, guest fees, cart fees, and caps, use the full membership cost guide linked above.
HOA assessments are a third line item. Confirm the current amount, reserve study, and any special assessments in the association packet for the exact address. Do not assume an older online summary still matches the packet you will receive in escrow.
What else shapes daily life at Toscana besides golf?
The Club Villa anchors non-golf days. Villa Toscana handles events. Il Forno Trattoria, La Cucina, and Il Caffè cover the day's meals. Spa Bella Vita and the Sports Club (fitness studios, a Junior Olympic resort pool, and bocce) keep members on property when they are not on the tee sheet.
The Charlie Pasarell Tennis Center, named for the member who helped put the Indian Wells tournament on the world map, includes a stadium court, additional tournament courts, and ten dedicated pickleball courts. Twenty-four-hour gated security and roving patrols close the residential streets.
Location helps: El Paseo is minutes away for dining and shopping, and Palm Springs International Airport is an easy drive. For club-model comparisons, see PGA West vs Toscana and the 2026 Coachella Valley golf communities guide. If you are also weighing La Quinta ownership structures, our Buying at PGA West and PGA West HOA comparison posts show how deed, HOA, and club membership diverge at another major valley campus.
Who is Toscana Country Club right for?
Toscana fits buyers who want private Nicklaus golf, a mature gated streetscape, and a Club Villa deep enough for spa, tennis, pickleball, and dining without leaving the property. Full-time residents and seasonal households both use it, provided the membership tier matches how often they will play.
It is less of a fit if you need a house that automatically includes golf, if you want a public resort cadence, or if you are not ready to underwrite initiation and dues beside the purchase price. Keep the membership spreadsheet next to the offer worksheet.
