About Company:

It began with legendary club developer Johnny Dawson (Eldorado, Thunderbird Country Clubs) and his vision for an unrivaled desert community, accessible yet exclusive in a setting unlike any other. Inspired by the walled city in Morocco that glows pink as the sun sets each dusk, the moment he laid eyes on the untouched landscape set amid stunning desert mountains, he knew he had found the spot.

Dawson gathered the best of the best in John Elgin Woolf, the definitive Hollywood Regency master known as the first postmodern architect on the west coast, Richard Harrison of famed Palm Springs modernist firm Wexler & Harrison for completion of the clubhouse, and Ted Robinson, one of golf's most celebrated course designers.

The culmination of the bespoke natural desert setting, the unsurpassed pedigree of the team formed by Dawson, and the stalwart resident stewards of that legacy, have created a singular and enduring club.
