Established and built in 1969, Avondale Golf Club stands as one of the longest-running private golf clubs in the Coachella Valley.

With its charm, elegance and great service, Avondale is a special place that attracts a discerning array of golfers. Experience this tradition with a Junior Executive or Corporate Membership, now available. For more information or a tour of the club, contact General Manager Brandon O’Neill at (760) 578-3037.
