🕰️ History: A Desert Playground with Hollywood Roots

Bermuda Dunes traces its origins to the 1950s, when developers created the Bermuda Dunes Country Club, quickly attracting celebrities, snowbirds, and professional golfers. The course became famous for hosting the Bob Hope Classic (now The American Express Golf Tournament), bringing A-listers and athletes to this quiet corner of the valley.
