Country Club Estates
Quorum Article - September 1999
Country Club
Estates is a quiet, private enclave of 100 homes located on Bob Hope Drive and
Country Club Drive in Rancho Mirage. It is adjacent to the homeowner communities
of Sunrise Country Club and Park Mirage. Construction took place in 1978 and
1979. It is a planned unit development on fee simple land. The developer was
Ross Cortese of Leisure World fame.
The architecture at Country Club Estates is Mediterranean and California inspired, featuring courtyards, wrought iron fences and clay tile roofs. The homes have two or three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a den. There were originally three basic models from 2,450 to 3,160 square feet. All homes are freestanding in individually walled private grounds This allows room for individual pools and house additions. Individual lot size is at least 10,000 square feet. Each home has dual heat and air and hot water systems. Homes in Country Club Estates have been sold this year at prices ranging from $250,000 to $327,000
The community is walled and gated with access from both Bob Hope and Country Club Drives. It is in a sheltered, non-windy location. Community facilities include a swim and tennis club. There are four recessed and screened tennis courts, all of which are night lighted. The developer provided a single large community pool with spa, in anticipation that most homeowners would install their own, which is in fact the case. About sixty percent of the homes have their own pools. An important design feature was to provide for the collection of trash from behind the gates of the homes. This prevents the unsightly disposition of trash at curbside.
The absence of golf in the development is considered an asset because it protects the community’s privacy. However, with golf cart access to nearby courses at Sunrise Country Club and The Springs, Country Club Estates homeowners have the best of both worlds. Aside from its gates and walls, security at Country Club Estates benefits from the fact that the City of Rancho Mirage has the lowest crime rate in the Coachella Valley. The community’s mailboxes are attractively designed with fluorescent tubes behind ivory colored opaque plastic panels to provide street and security lighting.
A major draw for prospective homeowners is the convenient central location of the community. It is close to Eisenhower Medical Center, Rancho Mirage Post Office, Lucky’s and the Rancho Las Palmas/Marriott hotel and shopping complex.
A five-member board of directors governs the homeowner association. With so much new construction in the Coachella Valley, the board is well aware of the need to keep its community competitive and provide evident benefit to prospective purchasers. To this end, the association recently revised its governing documents. This was to remove certain unenforceable provisions, conform to current law and perform a general up-date reflecting the community’s desires. The law offices of Peters and Freedman assisted in this exercise. The board is currently in the process of completing a comprehensive emergency preparedness plan. An electric generator and communications equipment are already in inventory.
With the community being relatively small, the board constitutes its own committees. A designated board member conducts biweekly walkthroughs with the Management Company. Resort Community Management is the association manager. Sunshine Landscape handles landscape maintenance. The association is responsible for all front yard landscaping and has the right to carry out exterior maintenance on the homes should the owner fail to do so. Association dues at Country Club Estates are a low $220 per month. The reserves are well funded.
