Bring Your Best Clubs, These Spots are a Hit Palm Springs Golf
Written By: Jordan Ligons Palm Springs Golf
Golfing is one of America’s favorite past times. The smell of fresh cut green grass, the commodore that comes with playing 18 holes with your best buds, and the wheelies you attempt in your golf carts (Wait, is that only me?). La Quinta and Greater Palm Springs house some of the nation’s top (and most beautiful) golf destinations. The late and great Arnold Palmer once said, “You must play boldly to win.” So grab your gloves, your clubs, and your golfing shoes to aim boldly for a hole in one.

Indian Wells Golf Resort
Let’s break this down: 53,000 square-foot clubhouse, 36-hole course, and the only place to have two courses ranked in the top 25 by Golfweek Magazine. Not impressed yet? The gorgeous course surrounded by palm trees also offers a free round for juniors that are accompanied by an adult, so you can show your kid a few tricks on their dime.

Arnold Palmer’s Classic Course gives you yet another reason to love this game with the scenic backdrop to your near-perfect golf swing.

If you’re wanting to switch things up, another challenge that SilverRock offers is footgolf—The combo creation marries soccer and golf into a game you don’t want to miss. Psst, watch out for the occasional mountain goat nibbling in the tee box though, they’re just there for the snack.
