Bighorn Golf Club
Ultra-luxury, guard-gated Palm Desert golf community where BIGHORN Golf Club membership is restricted entirely to the 570 homeowners inside the gates — two Tom Fazio-designed courses (Mountains, Canyons), an 80,000 sq. ft. clubhouse, and a non-equity, non-transferable membership structure available to property owners only.

What to Independently Verify
Membership is only available to BIGHORN property owners per the club's own site, but that does not necessarily mean every owner is required to join (this session could not confirm whether joining is mandatory upon purchase or optional-but-exclusive-to-owners — flagged as researched_not_found). Initiation fee and annual dues figures in this record come from a third-party membership-cost aggregator (privateIQ), not the club's own published rate sheet, and conflict in minor ways with an earlier discovery-pass estimate — confirm current numbers directly with BIGHORN's Director of Membership before assuming any figure. Architect attribution for the Mountains Course also shows a discrepancy: this record uses Tom Fazio (well-documented as the designer of both courses and consistent with the discovery-pass finding), but at least one secondary real-estate source attributed the Mountains Course to an unrelated name ("Arthur Miller") that reads as a likely aggregator/content error rather than a real second architect — worth a quick independent check before publishing.
