Palm Desert Tennis Club sits on 20 acres in South Palm Desert, a few minutes uphill from El Paseo, pairing a 100-home gated condominium community with a racquet club that welcomes non-resident members from across the Coachella Valley. Pickleball and bocce have joined the club’s core programming alongside eight lighted tennis courts and the only indoor squash court in the valley, per the club. Tennis pro Leif Nordlund and coordinator Melanie Nordlund run the pro shop, scheduling clinics, private lessons, and organized matches for all levels. The clubhouse life is half the draw: a bar and kitchen, weekend breakfast and lunch, a library, ping pong and pool room, 55-foot heated lap pool, and a 24-hour fitness center, with a social committee filling the season with themed dinners and live music. The club holds a 4.7 rating across 24 Google reviews.
