    One of the reasons we went to Palm Springs for three months is the great golf. And, golf we did.

    Here are a few of the courses that we played:

    Tahquitz Creek has two championship courses in one location with beautiful mountain backdrops.

    We played the newly renovated Legend Course. It is an Arnold Palmer Managed Facility.
    1885 Golf Club Drive
    Palm Springs, CA
    (760)328-1005

    Canyon South Golf Course has some of the best maintained greens in this area. It is surrounded by majestic mountains and has over 1000 large trees. Since it is in the southern portion of Palm Springs, it is wind sheltered.
    1097 Murray Canyon Drive
    Palm Springs, CA 92262
    (760)327-2019

    Palm Desert Country Club is an affordable country club golf. The facilities are super and much improved under new ownership. It was built in 1961 and strategically placed bunkers and water hazards. It is a 9-hole course, and you can walk.
    77-200 California Drive
    Palm Desert
    (West of Washington/No. of Fred Waring)
    (760)345-2525

    Indian Palms Country Club has 27 championship holes. We were told that it is a favorite of locals because it is affordable. It has mature shade trees and elevated greens.
    (A bit of History: President Dwight D. Eisenhower wrote his memoirs here!)
    48-630 Monroe St.
    Indio, CA 92201
    (760)347-2326

    Palm Springs Country Club was built in 1968 and is one of the least expensive of the courses we played. You cannot walk; you have to have a cart.
    2500 Whitewater Club Drive
    (760)323-2628

    Heritage Palms Golf Club is a new course built in 1996 and extremely challenging. It requires precise drives.
    80-0555 Fred Waring Drive
    (760)772-7334

    There were many more, but too many to mention.


    Equipment: You can pay much less if you do NEXT DAY GOLF to get discount tee-times. You have to call between 5-10p.m. for golf the next day. Individuals and groups can book on the best courses by:
    Call (760)413-0336
    Fax (760)772-2681
    We tried it, and it was great.

    We brought our golf bag, golf clubs, balls, glove, and golf shoes. If you need to, you are able to RENT at the golf courses.

     Wow! These pages are terrific. The Queen II, the Hotel, your condo, the food, the beaches, shopping, Bill Cosby, The Follies, the SD Zoo...just marvelous.

     Excellent page, Dee! Now I know why you love this part of your country so much. That photo of the dark-haired child is very touching. I wish I visit California and your #1 there San Diego one day!

     I needed a California fix and this was a great place to get it. I have yet to make it to San Diego but it is on my list. Another excellent page, Dee
