While this city has had a number of celebrity influences, nationally celebrated events, and televised games to help build a name for itself; there is a rich history to the city’s growing affluent reputation. The area was inhabited primarily by Desert Cahuilla Indians who were predominantly a tribe of hunter gatherers but unique to this tribe; they dug wells. As the railroad system began to take root in the city farmers were utilizing it to get produce unavailable to them before, and soon everyone was venturing to the desert. Finally in 1982 the city was established and has been growing exponentially ever since.

Arguably, one of the most sought out places to see in the city are the country clubs scattered throughout the valley. Get a taste of what real luxury feels like or take a day trying out all of the beauty regimens. Be a Real Housewife yourself for a day and get your nails done at the La Quinta Resort & Club, the La Quinta Luxe Manicure comes highly recommended. Be sure to spend a moment or two taking in the Spanish-inspired architecture that put this resort on the map. Perhaps you’re feeling like spending the day work-shopping your swing, head on down to the SilverRock Resort (soon to the Talus resort) and book a tee time. However, for those looking to join one of the city’s swanky high-end private resorts, there are plenty of options to choose from. The Madison Club offers members the opportunity to play on championship caliber courses designed by the Tom Fazio, Michelin star food, and world-class outdoor activities. The Hideaway Club generally attracts a younger crowd, and has an array of calendar events happening year-round, so say goodbye to having a Friday night with nothing to do! The club also allows members the opportunity to rejuvenate in a steam sauna after playing a game of pickleball in one of their premier courts, but be sure to come on an empty stomach because this resort has food for ‘daze’ (afterall, they say “If you can’t have fun at the Hideaway well, then…”). Or maybe the Tradition Golf Club will tickle your fancy; members are considered family and the larger community takes pride in the multitude of outdoor activities and world-class amenities they have to offer.
