Tamarisk Country Club is a private country club in Rancho Mirage, California, established in 1952.[1] The club had 65 original investors, including Jack Benny, George Burns, Danny Kaye, and the Marx Brothers.[2] Ben Hogan was the club's first golf professional.[3][1] The club hosted the Bob Hope Classic 19 times.[3] Architect William Francis Cody designed the clubhouse. Frank Sinatra lived in a walled compound on the club's 17th fairway, and his Rat Pack friends, Sammy Davis Jr., Pat Henry, and Jilly Rizzo built homes around the corner from Sinatra.[1]
