Developed by Toll Brothers and anchored by an Arnold Palmer Signature Golf Course, this guard-gated enclave of 426 single-family homes and 50 luxury condominiums is, simply put, one of the most complete lifestyle communities in the desert.

At the heart of Mountain View is its 18-hole Arnold Palmer Signature Course, co-designed with Ed Seay, a layout that rewards precision play while offering the kind of scenery that makes the round feel like a gift regardless of the scorecard. A full practice facility, putting green, and chipping green round out the golfing experience for members who are as serious about their short game as they are about their lifestyle.
Golf membership at Mountain View is intentionally capped at 325 members, a deliberate choice that preserves course conditions and ensures access remains a genuine privilege rather than a promise. Prospective golf members should confirm current availability directly with the Club’s Membership Director, as demand during peak seasons can influence waitlist status.
For investment-minded buyers, the club’s flexible leasing policy, which allows membership privileges to transfer to tenants on leases of four months or longer, adds a meaningful layer of financial versatility to ownership here.

Beyond the fairways, Mountain View has invested thoughtfully in amenities that serve the whole of life. Eight lighted pickleball courts and four lighted tennis courts speak to the club’s embrace of the sports that define today’s luxury desert community. Multiple resort-style swimming pools and outdoor spa facilities invite the kind of effortless afternoon that desert living promises.
A state-of-the-art fitness center, aerobics room, personal training services, and a full-service day spa ensure that wellness is woven into the everyday rather than treated as an afterthought. The Spanish Colonial-style clubhouse serves as the community’s social anchor, a beautifully appointed space for fine and casual dining, quiet evenings in the lounge, and the kind of unhurried conversation that forms the foundation of lasting friendships.

For the informed buyer, Mountain View’s membership structure is straightforward and worth understanding in its entirety before making an offer. All homeowners carry a mandatory social membership, which provides access to the clubhouse, fitness center, spa, tennis facilities, and the club’s full social calendar. Golf membership is optional and separate; for those who want it, it carries its own initiation fee and monthly dues for unlimited course access.
The golf membership at Mountain View is an equity membership, meaning owners hold an ownership stake in club assets. Initiation fees for both social and golf membership are non-refundable, which is standard practice across desert private clubs.

Built between 2003 and 2010, the homes here speak the language of Spanish Colonial and Mediterranean design, terracotta rooflines, sun-washed facades, and courtyard living that blurs the line between indoors and out. Residences range from approximately 2,500 to over 4,500 square feet, with three to five bedrooms thoughtfully positioned to frame views of the golf course and the mountains beyond.
For those seeking a more intimate footprint, the condominium residences, ranging from approximately 2,013 to 2,700 square feet, offer the same elevated finish and outlook with a lower-maintenance lifestyle that many desert buyers actively prefer.

Mountain View Country Club attracts a discerning, international clientele drawn equally to the quality of the golf and the quality of the lifestyle. Residents tend to be from California’s coastal cities, the Pacific Northwest, and western Canada, who are seeking a primary or secondary residence that delivers both physical beauty and social depth.
The community’s Toll Brothers pedigree and Arnold Palmer design pedigree carry recognizable weight for buyers who have lived in or visited other premier golf communities. Many residents arrive with clear preferences: golf, privacy, mountain views, and a social environment that is active without being overwhelming. Mountain View delivers all four with consistency.
The seasonal rhythm here follows the broader Coachella Valley pattern: peak social activity from October through May, with a quieter summer that many full-time residents have come to appreciate for its stillness and warmth.
Mountain View Country Club operates a flexible leasing policy that is particularly favorable for buyers weighing investment potential alongside personal use. Owners may transfer membership privileges to tenants, provided the lease term is a minimum of four months, a meaningful advantage for those who plan to rent their home during the high season.
