Are you ready to be a part of the story?
A club is a place where kindred spirits gather to have fun and make friends. A club is a place expressly for camaraderie, merriment, good will, and good cheer. It humbles the mighty and draws out the timid. And a club is one of the noblest inventions of mankind.

The Legend Begins
BORN IN 1971
The story of Mission Hills begins in the heart of Rancho Mirage, surrounded by rolling sand dunes and the purple mountains of the San Jacinto, Santa Rosa, and Little San Bernardino ranges. A vision for world-class golf and tennis brought together tribal leaders, entrepreneurs, and investors, giving birth to Mission Hills Country Club in 1971.
LEGENDARY GOLF
Recently ranked the No. 1 course in the valley, the Dinah Shore Tournament Course has been home to the LPGA Kraft Nabisco Tournament since its inception in 1972. While talented golfers usually try to avoid water hazards, it’s become tradition for the tournament winner to take the honorary “Champion’s Leap” into the water surrounding the 18 Green after the final round. The tradition started in 1988 when Amy Alcott took the first celebratory dive into Poppy’s Pond. Over the years, the Club has been the epicenter of major golf events, including the recent PGA TOUR Champions tournament, The Galleri Classic.
