Thinking About Living in Mission Hills Country Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Mission Hills Country Club and the surrounding Rancho Mirage golf market.
Mission Hills Country Club, established in 1971 in Rancho Mirage, is a private club operated today by Invited (formerly ClubCorp) with 54 holes across three courses -- the Arnold Palmer Course, the Pete Dye Challenge Course, and the Desmond Muirhead-designed Dinah Shore Tournament Course. It anchors a 1,760-acre private, award-winning master-planned residential complex with roughly 1,500 golf-course homes and several named sub-neighborhoods, including Oakhurst (60 homes), Mira Vista (307 homes), and Mission Haciendas (21 homes).
Golf & Course
The Dinah Shore Tournament Course (Desmond Muirhead design, par 72, 7,250 yards) is the club's most historically significant course: it hosted the LPGA's first major championship -- known successively as the Nabisco Dinah Shore, the Kraft Nabisco Championship, the ANA Inspiration, and the Chevron Championship -- annually every year from 1972 through 2022, making it the only LPGA major that stayed at one venue for five decades. That tournament has since moved away from Mission Hills entirely: it played at The Club at Carlton Woods in The Woodlands, Texas from 2023-2025, and moves again in 2026 to Houston's Memorial Park. The Arnold Palmer Course and Pete Dye Challenge Course round out the club's 54 holes.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Private membership required for play; operated by Invited (formerly ClubCorp) with tiered Golf ($55,000 initiation, ~$1,925/month dues), Social ($1,000 initiation, $135/month dues), and other categories. Some residential sub-types (e.g. 'Legacy homes') are referenced alongside an included Fitness Membership in club-operator marketing -- this potential partial-bundling nuance was not fully resolved this session and should be confirmed directly.

A 1,760-acre private master-planned complex with roughly 1,500 golf-course homes and several distinctly named sub-neighborhoods (Oakhurst, Mira Vista, Mission Haciendas), reflecting a larger and more residentially integrated model than Rancho Mirage's older member-sponsor clubs (Tamarisk, Thunderbird).

What Buyers Should Verify
- Do not describe Mission Hills as a current major-championship host -- the LPGA major left after 2022; confirm this correction is reflected anywhere this club's tournament pedigree is referenced.
- Confirm whether any specific home type (e.g., 'Legacy homes') includes a bundled Fitness Membership or other partial club-access benefit as part of the purchase -- referenced in club marketing but not fully resolved this session.
- Confirm current initiation fees and dues directly with Invited/Mission Hills -- sourced from the club operator's own membership page, retrieved today, but should be reconfirmed given how frequently private-club fee schedules change.
Notable
- The Dinah Shore Tournament Course hosted the LPGA's first major championship annually from 1972 through 2022 -- 50 consecutive years at one venue, a run since ended by the tournament's relocation to Texas (2023-2025) and now Houston's Memorial Park (2026).
- Operated today by Invited, formerly ClubCorp.
- 54 holes across three courses: Dinah Shore Tournament Course (Desmond Muirhead), Arnold Palmer Course, and Pete Dye Challenge Course.
