Making an impact Desert Horizons is key to top fund-raiser W hen First Tee – Coachella Valley needed a host course for its annual fund-raising golf tournament in April this year, Desert Horizons Country Club stepped up big time. By donating the golf course for the event, Desert Horizons Country Club helped the organization raise $125,000 used to fund its programs and activities for local kids. The partnership has proven to be a success and the private Indian Wells club will be the site of event again in 2022, when First Tee – Coachella Valley holds its fund-raising event on April 25. "The Desert Horizons Board of Directors immediately got be- hind this event and agreed to a long-term partnership with the First Tee," said General Manager Al Castro. "Our members have always been generous in sup- porting worthy causes and were eager to support this event." Desert Horizons Coun- try Club features a stunning Ted Robin- son-designed golf course that was re- cently renovated by noted architect Clive Clark. Additional ren- ovations are set to take place throughout the entire property beginning in Spring 2022. One thing that will remain the same is the club's support of First Tee – Coachella Valley. "So many young people have been so positively impacted by the work of the First Tee," Castro said. "It's something that every- one of us want to perpetuate." Desert Horizons Country Club.
