CLUBHOUSE UPDATE - Volunteer Day April 9, 2025

The Remodel Begins!

As June comes to a close and temperatures soar into the triple digits, big things are happening across Outdoor Resort Indio. While many owners and renters are away for the summer, progress continues at full speed—and the results are starting to take shape. Clubhouse Remodel: Big Leaps Forward Inside the clubhouse, the remodel has entered a new and exciting phase. The tiling crew is now hanging Hardibacker, prepping the walls for the next layer of beautiful tile. With most of the new electrical and AV wiring in place, drywall is now being installed. Meanwhile, the floors—still showing scars from old carpet glue and the previous dance floor—are being cleaned and leveled to create a smooth base for what’s to come. One of the biggest transformations is happening overhead: the three old chimneys are officially a thing of the past. The roof has been patched, and a fresh layer of tile roofing is now in place. It won’t be long and there will be no evidence of the fireplaces at all. Huge thanks go to our dedicated team of volunteers who have been sanding and staining new wood planks, laying the groundwork for the next phase of this stunning upgrade. And of course, a shout-out to Steve, who is expertly managing the crews and keeping the project on schedule. Resort Grounds: A Summer of Renewal The beauty of ORI extends beyond the clubhouse—and the grounds are getting their own summer refresh. Palm tree trimming is nearly complete, and the last of the aging flowers around the clubhouse have been cleared, making way for fall planting and fresh landscaping. New lot construction is also progressing across the resort. From foundations being poured to walls going up, each step brings us closer to new buildouts and lot improvements elevating our vibrant ORI community. Lake Dredging on Phase 1. One of the biggest undertakings this summer is the dredging of the lakes on Phase 1 of the golf course. The southern lake has already been completed, and the team is wrapping up work on the northern lake using a larger, more powerful dredge. You can watch a behind-the-scenes look at the dredging process in this special blog post and video:
👉 Lake Dredging Underway on the Phase 1 Golf Course Fun fact: The dredging team discovered a lot of golf balls—especially in the northern lake. Any guesses on the final count? Once the massive black silt collection bags are fully drained and baked in the summer sun, they’ll be cut open and the nutrient-rich material will be repurposed by our grounds crew. Even in the summer heat, the energy at Outdoor Resort Indio is unmistakable. Improvements large and small are paving the way for a fantastic upcoming season—and we can’t wait to welcome you back to see it all for yourself!
