The porcupine site got me thinking about spas in the Palm Springs area, hence my post. I may start a thread seeking the names of affordable courses with affordable natural springs on site or nearby. A search of the DG using keyword spa came up empty. Saratoga NY fits the bill. Closer to home: Warner Springs, which was closed when I took up golf. The course has reopened (it is one of my favorites), but the resort across the street, also scheduled to reopen, will probably be beyond my means. Local friends who aren't made of money stayed in the old cottages, played golf and "healed their wounds" in the natural spring pool.
