As the sports world turns to the Masters in April, Sensei Porcupine Creek is the perfect luxury destination for inspired golfers looking to improve their game. A former private estate sitting on 230 acres in Rancho Mirage, California, Porcupine Creek’s exclusive golf course has been played by professionals, celebrities and statesmen alike.
Below are just some of the standout experiences that golfers can enjoy during their stay at Sensei Porcupine Creek.

- Hole 16: Among the 18, visually stunning holes on the 75-acre course, it is the sixteenth hole that’s arguably the most scenic tee-off in the desert. Framed by the Santa Rosa Mountains, players have a perfect, uninterrupted view of the lush desert property and the Coachella Valley beyond. Thanks to the course’s private nature, it’s easy to slow down here and soak in the view.
- Private Tee Times: While access to the private estate was originally formalinvite only, Sensei has redefined its exclusive access to guests only. Whether it be solo or group play or lessons, Porcupine Creek allows guests to refine their skills in the privacy of the course’s garden-like atmosphere. The intent for space and solitude makes Porcupine Creek one of the rare golf courses in the world that offers individual tee times.
- Golf Optimal Wellbeing Program: This five-night structured program is the luxury retreat’s signature golf experience. The program is built to optimize guests’ golf skills and incorporate lasting wellness practices into their everyday life, including six hours of tailored, professional instruction and expert-led consultations including an in-depth fitness assessment. In between unlimited rounds on the 18-hole course, guests are invited to experience Sensei’s signature wellness programming including spa treatments, private sessions tailored to guest’s intentions, and insights into their performance via wearables.
