Palm Springs-Best Value for Desert Golf
Looking to play high season desert golf? A Palm Springs golf vacation may be just the fit for you. When planning your next desert golf vacation, you will have 3 major destinations to consider: Las Vegas, Scottsdale and Palm Springs.
Why Palm Springs? When you compare average daily golf rates amongst the 3 major desert golf destinations, you will find that Palm Springs comes out on the bottom, or top depending on how you look at it. With more than 30 courses offered for public play and an average high season round at $140 per round, Palm Springs golf offers some of the best play in the country without the top shelf rates. Compared to Las Vegas at an average ticket of $155 per round and Scottsdale at $175 per round, Palm Springs offers more bang for the buck.
Not to be undone by Scottsdale and Las Vegas, Palm Springs plays host to 2 PGA Tour events each year with January’s Bob Hope Chrysler Classic and The SKINS Game held each November. The Bob Hope Chrysler Classic is a four course rotation over 5 days using two private courses and two courses available for public play, SilverRock Resort & The Classic Club. The SKINS Game has been played at many public Palm Springs area courses such as PGA West Stadium, Terra Lago North & South, Trilogy at La Quinta, and its current home, Indian Wells Golf Resort.
