The primary purpose of the Club is to provide a safe place for the competitive shooter to engage in matches.
Palm Springs Gun Club is a private club, but our matches are open to the public.
Memberships are available for individuals as well as families.
Firearms training for home defense and personal protection is now available in the form of NRA Courses taught by an experienced NRA certified instructor. These courses range from basic to advanced. For more information, please contact psgunclub@aol.com or call (760) 578-3358.
The club also hosts introductory matches for the beginning shooter several times a year. Those matches focus on having fun while learning about: range safety, safe gun handling, range commands & etiquette, and some of the scoring methods used at the matches. As a community of active shooters, it is quite common for the more experienced shooters to help out beginners on an informal basis.
The range is generally available for members to use at any time. Exceptions include: during matches, and (at the discretion of their Range Master) when law enforcement agencies are using the range for training & qualification purposes.
Some of our members compete at the national level in several different formats.
Approximately one dozen of our members are Range Officers certified by the National Range Officer Institute.
You are encouraged to come out to a match to see what we do. Each match has a unique flavor & offers a different experience for the shooter. A shooter who has not experienced competition is encouraged to watch a match or two before taking part in a match. Feel free to contact the Match Director of the match that most interests you.
Once you have had a chance to observe a match and meet a few members, you may want to become a member. In order to join, you must present yourself for membership consideration at one of the club's monthly meetings which are held at the range the first Saturday of each month at 11:30 A.M.

Take the Ramon Road /Bob Hope Drive exit off of I-10 at Thousand Palms (between Palm Springs & Indio). From the exit proceed (approx. 1/4 mile) to the traffic light at the intersection of Varner Road & Ramon Road. Turn left at the light onto Varner, drive past McDonald's & Denny's. A street named Rio Del Sol will turn off of Varner on your right - just past the last buildings. Turn Right onto Rio Del Sol and drive to the T intersection with 30th Ave. At that point turn left staying on Rio Del Sol (not marked). You will be driving along an industrial area. Follow the blacktop a few hundred yards until you see a large granite boulder on the left side ‘pointing’ to the right. Turn right at the drive across from the boulder and continue straight. You will pass Pro Landscaping, Inc. on your left. Stay on the blacktop as it heads uphill going through the gate. Near the top of the hill is the gate and sign for the range. On match days all gates will be open; come on in and introduce yourself.
