With its colorful history, Thunderbird Country Club is one of Rancho Mirage’s most iconic and established golf communities. At its height, Thunderbird transformed from the humble birthplace of golf carts in the 50s to the luxurious playground of the country’s most powerful and influential figures. As the tides turn, however, Thunderbird lost its luster to newer establishments.
It’s high time for Thunderbird to make a comeback. The country club, to this day, remains one of Coachella Valley’s legendary golf communities. Better be there for its renaissance.
