The Country Club Experience: How does Andalusia Stand Above the Rest

THE COUNTRY CLUB EXPERIENCE: HOW DOES ANDALUSIA STAND ABOVE THE REST?

California boasts an impressive 2,758 country clubs; that’s quite a selection. However, across 525 expansive acres, Andalusia is one of the largest and most beautiful country clubs in the California Desert resort area, making it the opulent desert paradise of your dreams.

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines a country club as “a suburban club for social life and recreation,” but Andalusia is so much more. While we offer an abundance of engaging activities from bocce to bridge to golf and glamorous dining—above all, Andalusia is a community.

With gorgeous homes and fun events, Andalusia is a hive of activity where friends and family are always welcome. Our extensive community offers a lush oasis in the desert when it’s time to relax and unwind.

So, how do we at Andalusia set ourselves apart? Let’s dive in.

Be part of a real community

Our desert community isn’t only made up of gorgeous vacation homes but people too! And this country club lifestyle is an all-year-round affair. Our bounty of seasonal and permanent residents gives our neighborhood a true sense of community.

To help new and current residents get better acquainted, we have lots of fun activities to get involved in, including an assortment of mixers, tournaments, wine tasting, and theme parties.

Whether you’re into elevated evening dining or al fresco lunches in the courtyard, our Tapas Restaurant is the perfect spot. Make new friends, or invite old ones to enjoy our seasonally inspired gourmet dishes. Our weekly happy hour is a great way to socialize.

One of the best parts of the country club experience is the people you share it with. And Andalusia’s inviting spirit and endless activities cultivate a strong sense of community where lifelong friendships bloom.

Golf and so much more

We can’t deny our 18-hole championship course is a slice of heaven. Designed by master golf architect Rees Jones, this extensive course is 18 holes of pure joy for new and long-time golf enthusiasts. But we aren’t just one of California’s best golf clubs—we have so much more to offer.

If golf does happen to be a beloved pastime, you’re in luck, as our 7,521-yard par 72 course is one of the most playable courses in the area and potentially the widest fairway in the desert. While you’re making your way around our stimulating course, try not to get too distracted by the nine gleaming lakes, three waterfalls, luscious palm trees, and the Santa Rosa mountains backdrop. Eyes on the ball, everyone.

Fancy trying something different? Don’t worry; we have you covered, as all of our home purchases include a full sports membership. This gives you access to our 19,000 square feet of sports facilities. Some amenities include a 25-meter swimming pool with a spa, a state-of-the-art fitness center, tennis, pickleball, and bocce courts. After all that exercise, you can always enjoy a relaxing yoga session on the lawn.

Joining a country club is about so much more than finding a great golf course or a well-positioned pickleball court. When you find a country club like Andalusia, you discover a new way of life. Whether you decide to be a Sports or a Golf Member, you’re becoming part of a special community.

Spending Quality Time with Kids and Grandchildren

Spending Quality Time with Kids and Grandchildren through Country Club Activities and Sports 

With hectic family schedules, spending consistent quality time with your kids can be a struggle. And although some may view luxury country clubs as adult-only environments, they couldn’t be more wrong. 

 

Whether you’re looking after your grandchildren for the weekend or having the whole family round for an occasion, getting out and playing sports together is a fabulous way to keep connected and engaged.

 

Keep reading to discover how Andalusia country club can help you bond with your family while working up a sweat. 

Time for Some Group Games 

With a 25-meter pool waiting to be enjoyed, the kids will be off their iPads and into the great outdoors in no time. 

 

One benefit of belonging to an active country club is that you can give the kids in your family the opportunity to play different sports than they would at school. 

 

If you want to encourage a healthy bit of competition, we have several different court games available on-site, including pickleball, tennis, and bocce. Pickleball is a great sport to get your kids and grandchildren into as the rules are straightforward, and due to the intimate size of the court, it’s a very sociable game. 

 

By experiencing the wild emotions of sport together—joy, anxiety, pride, and frustration—you can build a vital support system for the children in your family. These hours of active fun will become precious lifelong memories. 

 

Also, with the help of our private lessons, you could be nurturing the next Jennifer Dawson before you know it! 

 

To view the full range of activities we have to offer, take a look here. 

Share Your Love of Golf 

Don’t be fooled: It’s not only adults who can appreciate a round of golf. 

 

Golf is a fantastic low-impact sport and a brilliant way to keep active for the old and the young. A key benefit of playing golf with your kids or grandchildren is the time it gives for conversation while you play. 

 

As well as sharing your golfing tips and tricks as you make your way around the fairway, you can have a good catch-up and a much-needed bonding session. (Relaxed chats are a bit trickier across a tennis net after all.) 

 

If you’ve been playing a sport for decades, it can be a little challenging to play with someone who is brand new to the game. However, golf isn’t one of these sports. It’s accessible to all ages, you simply need to adjust the handicap for the person’s ability. 

 

That’s why golf is the perfect game for family members of all ages and capabilities. Together, families can embrace the country club lifestyle and happily work around our stunning 18-hole championship course.

Awaken the Baby Yogis in Your Family 

Exercise doesn’t always need to be loud, intense, or played in teams. Yoga is a great alternative for children who don’t like traditional sports, and it’s proven to be a big hit, with 1.7 million kids already practicing in the US. 

 

Teaching children early on the importance of having a healthy mindset and taking time out for yourself is really important. Growing kids can be full of raging hormones, so providing them with a practice that teaches them how to regulate their emotions while increasing their strength and flexibility is a win-win. 

 

Yoga is also a great way to help children with anxiety by teaching them breathing and relaxation techniques. For younger children, why not add some silly sounds during the classic cat-cow or warrior positions? Who said yoga had to be serious? 

 

You can join a yoga class with your kids in our state-of-the-art gym, or if you fancy something more informal, you can use our facilities for a private family session. 

 

Discovering and enjoying a new discipline together can become a much-enjoyed and valued shared experience.   

 

Spending quality time with the children of your family is immensely important at all ages, and staying active together is a brilliant way to stay connected. By strengthening your family connection through all the emotions that sports can bring, you create tight bonds and memories that last a lifetime.
