The people in this community are so friendly, the course, facilities (pickleball, tennis, gym, etc.) and grounds are top notch and the views breathtaking. We especially love the restaurant, the food and cocktails are fantastic and we have never had a meal we didn't love. We especially enjoy the pasta night buffet, prime rib and entertainment evenings provided. The chef and servers are all friendly and make you feel like part of the CCC family. We know we made the right choice making Chaparral our new home!

I'm writing this review with genuine disappointment, as I had high expectations for a property that…read moremarkets itself as a premier country club experience. Unfortunately, my recent visit fell far short of the standard one would reasonably expect from an establishment in this category. From the moment I arrived, the service felt disorganized and inattentive. Staff members appeared disengaged, offering little acknowledgment or direction, creating an atmosphere that felt more chaotic than welcoming. Simple requests seemed to be met with confusion or indifference, and at no point did anyone step in to provide the level of hospitality that should define a country club environment. The facilities themselves also left much to be desired. Areas that are typically considered showpieces -- such as the dining room, locker rooms, and outdoor spaces -- showed signs of neglect. Tables were not promptly cleared, chairs were left out of place, and overall cleanliness did not reflect the premium status this club claims to uphold. For the cost of membership and the reputation they promote, these oversights are not minor; they are indicators of deeper issues in management and quality control. Dining was equally underwhelming. The menu felt uninspired, and the dishes lacked both presentation and flavor. Even basic items arrived lukewarm or poorly seasoned, which suggests a lack of attention from the culinary team. For a club that should pride itself on offering an elevated dining experience, this was perhaps the most surprising disappointment of the evening. I do believe this property has tremendous potential, but my experience made it clear that significant improvements in service, training, and operational oversight are needed. I hope management takes these concerns seriously, as members and guests deserve far better.

Monterey Country Club: Community, Class, and Unmatched Value!…read more Joining Monterey Country Club has been one of the smartest decisions I've ever made. From the moment you walk through the doors, you're greeted by name and treated like family -- it's that rare blend of warmth, professionalism, and genuine community spirit that makes every visit feel special. A huge shoutout to Bobby and Kaitlyn Ellis, who always go above and beyond to make every day at the club an absolute pleasure, and to Juan, the Membership Sales Manager, whose kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail make him an absolute gem. This staff makes you feel not just welcome, but known -- and that's something truly special. Beyond the incredible service and the beautiful course, membership here also comes with access to the Palmer Advantage program, which is a total game-changer. It opens the door to play at country clubs across the country -- both public and private -- under the Arnold Palmer management umbrella. Most of the clubs I've visited through the program don't charge a green fee at all -- just a cart fee, typically between $15 and $32. That's an unbelievable value, and I've been taking full advantage of it, especially now during the desert's overseeding break! Monterey Country Club isn't just a place to play golf -- it's a community that feels like home. If you're even thinking about joining a club in the Coachella Valley, do yourself a favor and check out Monterey. I promise you won't be disappointed.

*Monterey is a Wonderful Place*…read more The guard gated community is beautiful and peaceful... The condos/homes are spacious, light & bright with high ceilings and beautiful views of the golf courses... The swimming pools are all nice but kinda small...and the jacuzzi spas aren't hot enough... The gym is very old & outdated in need of a major facelift and better equipment & dumbbells. I've rarely seen a gym I didn't like nor can't deal with until this one. And happy I wasn't forced to workout at this facility... The Clubhouse tho is very nice...and Letty at the front desk is so friendly & welcoming...and sweet as can be... But the star of the show is/was Dennis at the Clubhouse restaurant/bar. Friendly cool dude who know's his stuff, has extensive experience in the restaurant/bar industry, provides amazing & professional service...and he was able to keep up with me while talking about sports :) Had their Ahi Tuna for a pre dinner Appetizer and it was fantastico. The "center-cut ahi tuna" was extremely fresh...and all the flavors of the dish paired very well. They do something with the sauces that's not common -- they use hoisin sauce, instead of sweet eel sauce, and together with their spicy tuna aioli it's a perfect combination. Because IMO, most eel sauces are too sweet & sugary. Compliments to the Head Chef. We intend to comeback one day for brunch because believe it or not, their Lox & Bagel Plate is only $13...and the funny thing is, when we saw that on the menu, wifey & I discussed a return visit in the future...and when we began our conversation with Dennis, discussing their menu, he told us "you need to comeback another day for the $13 Lox & Bagel Plate" and we all had a good laugh about that. My only complaint is they close the Clubhouse restaurant/bar @5pm...and it'd be nice if they stayed open later. Because I'd most defiantly linger to watch a ballgame on one their large flatscreen tv's...and spend more money on food & drinks...and I'm sure I'm not the only one who would. But all & all...Monterey Country Club is a wonderful place, centrally located in the heart of Palm Desert, right on the borderline of Rancho Mirage.

My wife is a beginner and I try and keep her off big tracks where most men forgot how crappy they were when they started and are in a rush to get around. The cart boy was super friendly and helpful to us, and made my wife feel very comfortable from the moment we were arriving at the course. And also later in the day when we were having difficulties getting something to drink, he assisted us then as well. My only suggestions would be, now caveat here is that they may be impacted by Covid protocol still, but their snack bar was closed by the time we got around the turn at 2:30. It was 105° and even the pro shop was closing and was initially reluctant to sell us anything because they had already started counting the drawer. That is a huge breakdown on the customer service side and on the planning side. If you're going to close early, then put some vending machines out there. Or allow your cart boy to do sales from a cooler. But why would you remove the opportunity for Gatorade, a Coke, power bars, an orange, a banana, you get the idea, quick simple items that can be refrigerated and then put out the next day for members or visitors. I really dislike playing golf courses where there are homes along the fairways, and this course does a great job of giving you ample buffer space for the mischievous, super slice that creeps into my game periodically. I was still able to find my non center hit balls and only lost two balls into the neighbors backyards. They have gorgeous water features on the course. I would recommend that they include a little bit more greenery or a fake middle island on stilts for pond shade because the water isn't very deep and as hot as it gets, I can only imagine the temperature of the water goes well up it is barely sustainable for the nice beautiful large fish they have in their ponds. Overall, for an executive course in the Palm Desert/Palm Springs area, I highly recommend going here. They have a nice grass driving range, clean rolling putting green, and all the basics you need to get great 18 executive holes completed in hot, but fair, resort-like and playable, 4 hours or less. Note, we were here for Labor Day weekend when the state and national parks closed due to the amount of fires in and around campgrounds. So instead of camping we came to Palm Desert. It was hott . Tips, bring an extra towel for each player, like a kitchen sized towel, and keep it wet and put it into the ice cooler that is attached to your golf cart, every three Dash four holes, wrap it around your neck and cool off your overall body temperature. Keep cold water, hydrate, periodically put ice inside of a baseball cap, don't wear a visor, and you will be OK for A great executive course experience.
