Towering mountains, blue skies, and a near perfect climate set the stage in Palm Desert. The city has grown to over 50,000 permanent residents, with an estimated additional 20,000 seasonal residents during the winter. Full-time population for the entire Coachella Valley is 352,000. As more and more families move into the area, the year-round economy is booming. The average age is 48 years - a significant change from just a decade ago when the city was considered primarily a retirement area.

Palm Desert has become a haven for those seeking resorts, golf courses and spas that rank among the worlds finest. There is so much to see, to experience, to enjoy. There is more than golf in Palm Desert. Tennis, bicycling, hiking, rock climbing, swimming and virtually every other outdoor activity are available throughout the year in Palm Desert and the surrounding area.
