DESERT WINDS GOLF COURSE
40
Did you know that the Desert Winds Golf Course is the
only regulation 18-hole golf course in the Morongo
Basin? The course boasts 6,930 yards of golf from the
longest tees for a par of 72 and is rated “challenging”
by several course rating firms.
Desert Winds was closed for renovations and
remodeling in October 2007. New bunkers and
acclaimed Augusta White Sand were added to
improve playability. Additional cosmetic changes
include spectacular landscaping upgrades and a
new entrance sign. Another exciting change is the
installation of formally used military equipment
throughout the course adding to the atmosphere
of playing on one of the nation’s finest military
installations.
The entire clubhouse and pro shop were also
renovated in 2007. Patrons at the clubhouse
now enjoy new furniture, aesthetic golf displays,
picturesque views of the course and two new flat
screen TVs with satellite hookups. Patrons often
use the beautiful grounds to host their weddings,
receptions and celebrations. Adding to the allure of
Desert Winds is the extensive menu now available
at Extreme Pita. Even if golf isn’t your game, many
patrons escape in the pristine design and delicious
food at the clubhouse.
In early 2008 the course was opened to the general
public. Word is getting out and Desert Winds is
quickly growing in popularity among affordable and
challenging courses in the Hi-Desert.
Desert Winds is open for a casual round of golf year
round, but if you are up for the challenge, the course
also hosts a number of non-traditional events for
eligible patrons. The Commanding General’s Golf
Tournament in May brings hundreds of golfers and
fans to the course. In July, Desert Winds plays host
to the first in a series of summer Glow Ball Outings.
These events and others, like Speed Golf and Cross
Country Golf, stray from the standard nine or 18
hole golf outing and are designed to bring out new
golfers and those athletes who need a little more
excitement in the game. Your monetary or in-kind
sponsorship reaches not only Marines, but also the
local community and the entire Morongo Basin.
