On the south end of Palm Springs lies the historic Indian Canyons Golf Resort neighborhood, originally known as the Canyon Country Club.

In the early 1960s, the first homes were built along the fairways of the new, private 18-hole championship golf course. Homes built around the neighborhood and golf resort are predominantly mid-century modern and ranch-style single-family properties. They tend to feature distinct architectural traits like expansive glass walls, clerestory windows, flat or butterfly rooflines, and open floor plans. The walls of glass typically open to patios and private backyard swimming pools facing the fairways.

The resort’s 1962 clubhouse, designed by architect Donald Wexler, faces the Walt Disney Fountain, with its 100 foot jets, set against sweeping vistas of the San Jacinto Mountains.

The Indian Canyons Golf Resort has a colorful history as a favorite destination of "Old Hollywood" celebrities like Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope, Jack Benny, Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Walt Disney, Sammy Davis, Jr., Johnny Carson, Chuck Conners, Jackie Gleason, and Milton Berle, as well as former U.S. Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lyndon B. Johnson, Gerald Ford, and Ronald Reagan. Celebrities who lived in Indian Canyons:

During its more than half-century existence, most of the neighborhood’s homes have been refurbished to reflect its mid-century modernist roots. Roots that include famous architects Stan Sackley, Dan Palmer and William Krisel whose houses featured characteristic open floor plans coupled with expansive use of glass. Many of those homes have been professionally decorated in the mid-century modern aesthetic and exemplify the Palm Springs lifestyle locals and visitors alike yearn to experience. Sunshine, golf, swimming pools, mid-century modern architecture and celebrities are woven into the Neighborhood’s history. Add to that the desert’s natural beauty, panoramic mountain views and wind-ree South Palm Springs location and you have the perfect Palm Springs vacation.
