The Palm Springs Tennis Club features low, white stucco buildings with sprawling, deep-blue swimming pools tucked against the jagged, rocky base of the San Jacinto Mountains. Charlie Farrell and Ralph Bellamy founded the club in nineteen thirty-seven, betting that Hollywood elites wanted a desert escape for tennis and socializing. During the early years, the pair spent their afternoons playing matches against guests like Clark Gable and Errol Flynn while the mountains cast long shadows across the courts, cooling the desert air.
