Resort-Style Amenities
Built by Del Webb between 1992 and 2003, Sun City Palm Desert enjoys a prime California location just 15 miles from Palm Springs. The community was the first age-restricted development in the Palm Springs area and, with 1,600 acres of developed land, it is still the largest.
Sun City Palm Desert’s thoughtful design reflects Del Webb’s decades of experience in creating communities which support an active lifestyle for 55+ residents. Golf is a popular pastime in the Palms Spring area and resident golfers are sure to love the community’s aptly named Mountain Vista Golf Club. The two 18-hole golf courses were designed by renowned golf course architect Greg Nash and Hall of Famer Billy Casper to challenge golfers of any skill level while also showcasing the breathtaking beauty of the surrounding mountains. The club also offers golf instruction to help players take their game to the next level.
With three spacious clubhouses, Sun City Palm Desert has plenty of space to offer amenities which appeal to very different interests.
