Morningside Country Club

Jack Nicklaus's first desert golf course design. 165 landscaped acres. Homes from $600K to $2.85M.

The Club at Morningside in Rancho Mirage holds a specific distinction in golf history: its 18-hole course, designed by Jack Nicklaus and opened in 1981, was the first course Nicklaus ever designed in the Southern California desert resort region. The course was also once the site of the Bob Hope Classic, giving it tournament pedigree alongside its design pedigree.

Morningside is a smaller, more intimate community than Mission Hills or Ironwood — approximately 363 homes spread across 165 meticulously landscaped acres. The community is known throughout the valley for its extraordinary grounds maintenance, including the planting of roughly 250,000 individual flowers each fall.

The Homeowners Association at Morningside provides services well beyond what most private communities offer: dedicated in-house security with home watch capability, 24-hour concierge shuttle service, in-house landscape maintenance, exterior home painting, and roof repair coordination, all included in HOA dues.
