Chaparral is a Palm Desert country club in the classic sense. The 18-hole course features dramatic mountain views. Unfortunately, the course is entirely private. Homeowners and guests are only allowed access. The course boasts 13 lakes and 45 bunkers and is well-known as "the little monster."
Members also have access to a driving range, practice bunkers with chipping greens, two practice greens and an 18-hole putting range. Chaparral features two restaurants with breakfast, lunch and dinner services. There are also tennis facilities within the community.
