Why the Owner Chose Lakes Country Club

We knew we had to be close to all the attractions, and Palm Desert sits in the heart of the desert. The Lakes Country Club, in particular, was our first choice for the lovely, manicured grounds, the sparkling lakes, and the active and friendly Clubhouse.

The Unique Benefits at this Condominium

Whether you wish to hit the town for shopping, fine dining, golf or tennis, or just take it easy in the lovely warm climate, Palm Desert has it all. One of our favorite weekend habits is roaming the stalls at the College of the Desert (COD) outdoor Street Fair. They offer everything from a bargain pair of sunglasses to freshly grown local produce. Of course, every good shopper can't miss strolling along El Paseo's promenade of galleries and boutiques. For the golfer, you are surrounded by the finest courses in the world.

A
Desert Springs Marketplace

Convenient neighborhood shopping including Ralph's grocery store, Rite Aid drug store, and wonderful dining options - Morton's Chicago Steakhouse, CorkTree restaurant, and City Wok Chinese

B
Desert Willow Public Golf Course

One of the lovliest public courses in the desert. Challenging and scenic greens. Lovely clubhouse offering dining for breakfast and lunch.

D
The Classic Club

A Troon golf course and consistently rated as one of the top courses in Southern California by GolfWeek.

E
College of the Desert Street Fair

Over 340 vendors offering merchandise. Open Saturdays and Sundays.

F
El Paseo Shopping District

High end couture, one of a kind boutiques and art galleries and fine restaurants are easily enjoyed along this charming street.

G

Owner's Map of Lakes Country Club

The clear, crisp desert landscape is in our blood. My husband and I have been coming here with our family for years and finally purchased a home of our own. We are the 3rd generation to find this desert enchanting and stress relieving. We know you will too.

    • We very much enjoyed our stay at the Murphys' condo. The decorating was lovely, it was spotless, and there were a number of thoughtful treats provided which made one feel very welcome. It was a grand place to spend some time.

    • Stayed May 2009. Once inside this property you could not mistake this was an owner's home, not merely a rental unit for investment. The owners have high quality furnishings, to include top end bedding and towels. Very clean and in turnkey condition. Very quite location, comfortable both inside and outside. Will return in future visits.

    • If you want a great place to rent in the Desert, we would recommend Kelly and Shawn Murphys' condo at The Lakes. Their 2-bedroom home is decorated with taste and is spotless. It contains all the necessities to make a stay at The Lakes a pleasure.

    • Kelly and Shawn have turned their lovely and very comfortable condo in the Lakes into a guests dream. Great Beds, Decor is first class and the thoughtful extras for our arrival were a total surprise. We enjoyed the patio and ate dinner out there every night. Having that really nice green area (The golf course) that seems to go on forever just added to our pleasure. Thank You.

Nothing has been forgotten and there are so many extras that make staying here wonderful, including the robes, starbucks cofee, martini glasses and shaker for making crantinis' at happy hour and candies on the coffee table. We enjoyed our stay very much and we will be back. Shirley & Bob Gautreau West Vancouver, B.C. Canada

    • We had a wonderful time at the Murphy's condo. It was decorated so nicely and was very clean. We have stayed in the desert before and found this condo to be the nicest. The beds were very comfortable and the bedding was so cozy. We also appreciated the Starbucks coffee and snacks. We would love to visit again!

    • We found the condo to be beautifully furnished with a well equipped kitchen. Beds were comfortable and the two master suites were perfect for us and another couple. We also enjoyed the floral landscaping of the The Lakes Country Club.

    • We were the first guests to stay in the Murphy's condo and they hurried to get it ready for us. They did a beautiful job! We were immediately impressed by the grounds of The Lakes Country Club and then so very pleased by the condo. Kelly & Shawn's condo is beautifully furnished and updated, warm, and comfortable. We loved the location (close to shopping, grocery stores, and restaurants). We'd love to return.
