Avondale Golf Club - Avondale Palm Desert, California

AVONDALE GOLF CLUB HISTORY 


Born as Del Safari Golf Club in 1969, the Club’s roots were established via the Midwestern sensibilities of the original owners. A classic, gorgeous, tree-lined course was combined with great service and an efficiently run club. The membership purchased the Club in 1991, and with it came the name change to Avondale. The quality of the club endured, along with its solid condition and membership traditions.
A fun fact about Avondale Course designer, Jimmy Hines:

On the 13th hole at a 1938 PGA Tour tournament, his chip shot hit opponent (and golf great) Sam Snead's ball, sending both into the cup! A birdie two was awarded to both players, who were tied at that point. Unfortunately Snead wound up beating Hines by one stroke to win the event, but Hines had an incredible story to tell for the rest of his life.

A Remarkable Golf Course in Palm Desert
Great Setting, Great Games, Great Golf!


Designed by golf legend Jimmy Hines, our Par 72 6,728-yard championship golf course is always challenging but playable for golfers of all skill levels. Avondale is known for “always having a game,” seven days a week. You’ll have no trouble finding playing partners here!

Many remark about the spectacular condition of Avondale Golf Club. Our mature, perfectly maintained, tree-lined course, rivals the best the desert has to offer. Also a benefit, games at Avondale average less than 4 hours, and sometimes you’ll find yourself finishing in fewer than 3 and a half. That makes it easier to get another round in!

Avondale is a true golf club!
