Pairings
Pairings will be done in accordance to the sign up form unless otherwise changed by the Champions Club Representatives. Pairing requests will typically be granted, but may be adjusted if necessary.

Weekly Sign Ups
Players must register in person at the Golf Shop or by calling 760.346.7060 Ext. 1 by close of business on the Sunday before each Wednesday event. Please note that email registrations are not accepted. Sign-ups open exactly 7 days in advance, and any available tee times will be released to the public after Sunday’s close of business.

No Shows
All no-shows will incur the Champions Club rate of $65. To avoid charges, cancellations must be submitted by midnight on the Monday prior to the event.

Cart Signs | Scorecards | Scoring
Desert Willow Golf Resort staff will handle Cart Signs, Scorecards, and Scoring for each Wednesday event, ensuring a seamless experience for all players. Results will be posted weekly under the ‘Results’ tab. The Champions Club Commissioner will update participant scores to their active GHIN Handicap. A valid GHIN Handicap is required to be eligible for NET prizes and participation in the NET Points Race.

7:30 AM Tee Time Start

On Wednesdays, if your official scorecard shows a zero handicap, this indicates that you do not currently have an active index. Players without an established index will be eligible only for Gross prizes until their index is established, which typically takes about seven posted rounds.

Thank you all for your understanding as we move forward with pairings. The heart of the Champions Club is about connecting with fellow Palm Desert Residents who share a passion for golf. Embrace the camaraderie, enjoy making new connections, and have fun on the course!
