Thermal is the site for future development of a high end country club and racetrack for wealthy car lovers.  What a score for this Desert community located on the east end of the Palm Springs Valley !!!  Developers planned to break ground today on this exciting project that’s been in the making for years.

Coined as the “Rich Man’s Playground,” the Thermal Club’s developers claim they will succeed because there just aren’t many other places like this in the entire world – even though economic times are tough around the globe.  A project of this type is not a new idea in our desert, there has been talk of building something like it here  since the late 1980s.

The race course has been in the design stages for the past two years by Alan Wilson, a well-known track designer out of Salt Lake City.  It will feature 3 independent circuits with the flexibility of running 19 different configurations.

Discovery Land Company is the Scottsdale based development company which is handling development, sales and operations at the club.  They also developed The Madison Club and The Hideaway luxury country clubs in La Quinta.  Memberships to the non-equity private club start at $85,000, corporate memberships of $200,000 include up to 4 designees.  Club members must purchase lots starting at $200,000.

Approximately 40 people have joined the Thermal Club so far, most of them having homes in the Palm Springs Valley, Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego.  Some members are from Texas, New York and Montana.

The Thermal Club project is expected to generate hundreds of jobs locally in construction, with about 60 permanent positions.  What a boon for our desert here and for the city of Thermal !!!  It will be exciting to see how this project develops !!!
