Palm Desert Country Club To Reopen
In this part of "10 Palm Desert Businesses You Need to Know," Patch looks at a piece of 1960s Palm Desert, being restored to its full glory.
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, the Palm Desert Country Club has rebounded from its financial problems.
The club will re-open on Jan. 1, after being closed for over 18 months.
The most noticeable physical change to the property is a brand new patio adjacent to the clubhouse restaurant. But according to Director of Golf, David Zickau, the biggest change will be one that can't be seen from the outside.

“Customer service will be the biggest change,” Zickau said. “We’re going to treat people that way everyone else wants to be treated. Treat them well, and make it enjoyable for everyone to come out and play golf.”
Zickau said that one of the goals is to make the country club have a “community” feel to it becoming more of a place where the whole family can play golf and feel comfortable.

To that end, Palm Desert Country Club will be having food and beverage specials, as well as very competitive golf rates, with a season rates topping out at $69 per round.
”Its definitely very aggressive in the market, but we’re gonna show them that we’re going to give them a hundred-dollar golf course for 69 dollars or less,” Zickau told Patch. sThere will also be twilight and super-twilight special, among other discounts.
“This is a golf course that been down for a year and a half, so our goal is to get them back and show them that this is the [course] that they want to play.”
The course is now taking reservations for tee times at (760) 345-0222.
