The O'Donnell Club is one block south of Palm Canyon and you'd probably never know it was there if you didn't look hard. I first found out about it yesterday on my daily photo bike ride.
Built in the 1920s by Thomas A. O'Donnell, the property includes a golf course. In the 1920s no one, including O'Donnell, knew about the large reservoir that lies under Palm Springs.
In order to get water for the property, O'Donnell bought into Whitewater Water Company. He helped the company move water from its source in Whitewater to his property, which was 14 miles away.
After the water was collected into a reservoir, O'Donnell used it to put in a nine-hole golf course.
