The Fitness Center is now open for restricted use. In order to comply with county regulations, only one household at at time can use the Fitness Center. We have arranged to use the TownSq application for booking one hour time slots. TownSq can be accessed on the web or through a phone or tablet app. If you don't already have an account, please contact Desert Resort Management. 


We have included step by step instructions for making a booking below. You can make reservations up to two days in advance. Please do not make more than one booking per day.

Please also review the rules and terms of use below, and follow the rules and safety guidelines for everybody's safety.

Supplies are provided for cleaning the equipment before and after each use.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this challenging time.

The Pickleball Committee has voted to change the mask and guest policy as follows:

Beginning immediately, masks will no longer be required for play.  They will, however, continue to be mandatory in the waiting area next to the courts. As before, people are asked to play only with others with whom they feel comfortable and safe.    

Guests may now play on our courts. Reservations for groups, including off-site guests, may be made after 6:00 PM on the night before the reservation is requested. Therefore residents should be certain to make their court reservations before 6:00 the night before they want to play. Remember that courts can now be booked five days in advance.

We have arranged to have three tables on the clubhouse patio. They will be arranged six feet apart to meet social distance requirements. If you use the patio, please observe the following Riverside County rules:

• Masks and physical distancing required.
• No more than three separate households may attend (including the hosts).
• Gatherings should be two hours or less.
• Those with COVID symptoms must not attend.
• Those at high risk of severe illness are strongly encouraged not to attend.
• Singing, shouting, chanting, cheering, or exercising strongly discouraged.

In order to comply with Riverside County standards, no more than two foursomes may play pickleball at any time until further notice. As well, the two foursomes must be on opposite sides of the large dividing net.

To address this reduction in court capacity, the board has approved the emergency use of the adjacent tennis court (court 3) for pickleball play. Two courts have now been taped onto court 3. They are numbered court 10 and court 12 so when you use the online booking system, courts 9 and 11 will be the kitty - corner courts on court 2, and courts 10 and 12 will be the two courts on court 3.

Please note that court 3 will revert to tennis use while courts 6 & 7 are closed for resurfacing. This is expected to happen in mid- December.

We ask that all players abide by the new guidelines - no one wants to be a policeman. If a third foursome is found to be playing on court 2, the board will remove the nets from the two remaining courts.
 
In addition, masks must be worn during play, as the board feels that players cannot stay six feet apart while playing doubles on a pickleball court. A mask must cover your nose and mouth at all times. Playing with a mask on your chin or under your nose does not provide adequate protection. We ask that everyone show enough concern for their neighbors and friends to wear their masks appropriately at all times while on the courts.
