Bermuda Dunes Country Club brings together a private golf club and an established residential community in Bermuda Dunes, California. Mark’s October 26, 2026 photographs show the clubhouse interiors, lakes, palm-lined fairways and homes around the course.
The club’s 27 holes were designed by Billy Bell Jr. and can be combined into three 18-hole layouts. Alongside golf, the club lists dining, social events, bocce and fitness facilities. The photographs below give you a look at the dining rooms, bar, lounge and outdoor setting.
Developed by Ernie Dunlevie and Ray Ryan, the club’s construction began in 1958. It was a longtime host in the Bob Hope Classic rotation, including Arnold Palmer’s final PGA Tour victory in 1973. The Arnold Palmer statue photographed beside the course commemorates that win. Explore its photographs, plaque and the story behind the tribute.
The aerial photographs show how homes, residential streets and private pools sit alongside the fairways. Individual homes and residential enclaves differ, so evaluate the specific property’s layout, condition, outdoor space and location within the community.
Ask for the current security-association charges, any separate residential-association dues and the applicable rules for the property. Private-club membership is a separate question: confirm availability, initiation fees, dues, guest policies and included access directly with the club. This hub does not quote unverified current fees.
The club is at 42765 Adams Street, Bermuda Dunes, CA 92203. It is a private club; arrange access in advance. For membership and club inquiries, call 760-345-2771 or visit the official membership page.
