Attending Tulsa on a golf scholarship, one of her best performances individually was her 11th place finish at the 1976 AIAW National Championship where Tulsa came within one stroke of winning the national championship.

Continuing her education, she earned her MBA from Pepperdine University in 1984.

Mission Hills is also the home of the Nabisco Dinah Shore LPGA Championship, one of the four majors on the LPGA Tour.

   "A number of things distinguish us from other clubs," explained Nancy Aaronson, president of La Quinta Land Partners. "First, this is an equity membership club, which will eventually be run by its members. And second, we're offering golf at its highest level. We don't know of any other clubs in the country or even the world that has three courses that are member owned.
   
   "Another unique feature is the low number of home sites will have such a generous use of land and open space," Aaronson continued. "And we've limited our membership to only 276 per course, which means our members will enjoy plenty of accessibility and tranquility on a variety of excellent courses."
   ...
   "It's the tradition of golf as a social activity," Aaronson continued. "That's what the early clubs were all about. We envision that social nature and camaraderie will be emphasized here. After all, wherever you go in the world, it's the people that make the place."
   
   Yes, but at Country Club of the Desert, it's also the golf that makes the place.
   ...
   Nancy Aaronson agreed. "Phase I is very ambitious," she commented. "We plan on having 350 finished homes and home sites, 27 holes of golf and our clubhouse open by next fall. We already have more than 100 members, and we foresee memberships in the six-figures range."
   
   Of the community's 819 residences, Aaronson said one-third will be large custom homes, while the rest will be offered as semi-custom with plans that can be individually adjusted by the homeowner. Most of the homes are located on cul-de-sacs, creating a high level of privacy and limiting drive-through traffic. Three products will be launched this winter, designed in early California style with "Tuscan overtones."
   
   ...
   "Our acquisition of the Old Course Starter's Box will always be associated with our beginning," commented Aaronson," and we'll forever enjoy a connection to the birthplace of golf and its distinguished traditions."

   "The early clubs were all about golf as a social activity," says developer representative Nancy Aaronson, "and that's the tradition we're implementing here.
   ...
   "It was hard to believe that we even had the chance to get it," Aaronson recalled, "and when we won the bidding we were just ecstatic." It will be placed between the first and 10th tees at the Dye Course.
   
   Aaronson's experience in the Coachella Valley dates to 1985 when she was hired by Landmark Land Company to assist in the expansion of La Quinta Hotel. Later she was project director at Mission Hills CC.
