Indian Canyons Golf Resort http://www.indiancanyonsgolf.com/ Emerald greens and swaying palms greet you at Indian Canyons Golf Resort. Nestled in southern Palm Springs, near the Canyon and Canyon View Estates, this location is surrounded by mountains on 3 sides, giving unparalleled views of these snow-capped peaks. The mountains also double as a wind-break, keeping the course calm and serene (and the flight of your ball true). There’s a north and a south course, situated on either side of Murray Canyon Drive, each offering a complete and distinctive golfing experience. Check out the North Course for a slightly longer experience, surrounded by beautiful homes, lakes, and a fountain (named after Walt Disney, who once owned homes in this community). The South Course is arguably the more scenic of the two, displaying lush greens and many trees. It’s also slightly less challenging and a great place to start for relative beginners. Also - being further south and not within the residential portion of Indian Canyons - the views cannot be beaten. Classic Club https://www.classicclubgolf.com In Between the I-10 and theCoachella Valley National Wildlife Refuge, lies the simply-named Classic Club, one of the finest upmarket golf courses and country clubs around Palm Springs. An oasis of green grass and sparkling waters in rugged surroundings, this course stands out for its beauty and gracefulness in design. This 18-hole par 72 was designed by the Arnold Palmer company and hosts the annual Bob Hope Chrysler Classic. The clubhouse is also home to a museum of sorts, housing Bob Hope’s collection of golfing memorabilia. Known for its immaculate facilities and fine restaurant, this is a golf club not to be missed if you’re prepared to take a short drive east of Palm Springs proper. For a town that gained its reputation as a lazy getaway from urban LA, for those wanting to lounge around the pool taking in the sun, Palm Springs has become a prime destination (and residential location) for those with an active, adventurous lifestyle. While the core of Palm Springs remains packed with cultural locations, restaurants, resorts, and mid-century modern communities, the further east you travel, the more it opens up into terrain dotted with expansive fairways and greens. As such, there are many notable golf courses and clubs that fall just outside of Palm Springs proper, like the world-famous PGA West TPC, Indian Wells Golf Resort, and Bighorn Golf Club. And closer to home there’s the Tahquitz Creek Golf Resort, which also deserves an honourable mention. Basically, if you come to Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley for golf, you can stay busy for quite some time. To learn more about Palm Springs, contact Geoffrey Moore.
