RANCHO MIRAGE RACQUET CLUB
By Ashley Layton, PCAM, AMS, CMCA
Nestled in the picturesque city of Rancho Mirage, the Rancho Mirage Racquet Club (RMRC Owners Association, Inc.) is a testament to successful planned unit developments. Established in 1979, this thriving community is home to 95 meticulously designed homes, offering residents an unparalleled lifestyle in the heart of Southern California.
The Rancho Mirage Racquet Club offers a variety of floor plans, each priced in the mid-to-high $600,000 range, reflecting the club’s commitment to quality and sophistication. The community’s monthly assessment of $950 grants residents access to a host of exceptional amenities, enhancing their living experience.
Residents can enjoy a range of recreational facilities, including the clubhouse, lake, fitness center, and a racquetball court. For those passionate about racquet sports, the club boasts nine tennis and pickleball courts alongside five sparkling pools and inviting spas.
The Rancho Mirage Racquet Club has made significant upgrades over the years, with continuous improvements contributing to its charm and functionality. A board member, Mike, shared his experience, “We have been full-time owners at the Rancho Mirage Racquet Club for just over 14 years, and we have seen outstanding improvements during that time, including updated tennis courts, newly added pickleball courts, replastered pools, and a completely remodeled clubhouse with a state-of-the-art kitchen. It is a wonderful community.”
The association’s commitment to maintaining and improving the property is evident in their recent projects. They have replaced 52,200 square feet of turf with desert landscaping to support water conservation efforts. Additionally, they resurfaced seven of the nine tennis courts, with two of these now dedicated to pickleball. This year, Asphalt MDs completed a comprehensive overlay of approximately 185,340 square feet of asphalt, further enhancing the community’s infrastructure.
The Rancho Mirage Racquet Club is not just about luxurious amenities, it’s also a vibrant and engaged community. With a dedicated board of five members and eight active committees—including Emergency Preparedness, Social and Welcome, Finance, Fitness, Architectural, Building and Grounds, Racquet, and Landscape—the association fosters a strong sense of community and collaboration.
The social aspect of the community is equally dynamic, with numerous activities and events held throughout the year. Many homeowners are actively involved in various committees, contributing to a friendly and welcoming environment.
The enthusiasm for the community extends to the association’s management team. Their professional community manager, Jennifer Carroll, CMCA, AMS, PCAM, with 16 years of experience, praised the Rancho Mirage Racquet Club, stating, “This is the best community I have managed in my 16 years’ experience. I truly love this community, the board, business partners, and, of course, homeowners. I have managed this community since April 2014 and look forward to managing many more years.”
The Rancho Mirage Racquet Club exemplifies a harmonious blend of luxury, community engagement, and forward-thinking improvements. The association is managed by Associa Desert Resort Management’s Jennifer Carroll, CMCA, AMS, PCAM. Jennifer can be reached at JCarrol@drminternet.com or 760.346.1161.
