Your recommendations for low-mid cost public golf in the Palm Springs area

[Morgan Clawson]

I have a friend travelling out there in a week and I'd like to give him a few recommendations.

I played Desert Willow a few years ago.  I thought Firecliff was pretty good while Mountain View was pretty bad.

Thanks for your help!

I liked Escena when I played there six years ago.  Cool layout in good condition (at least at that time) that is in a relatively ugly area.  The price was also very reasonable.  http://www.escenagolf.com/sites/courses/escena.asp?id=876&page=49219

Terra Lago was also good.  http://golfclub-terralago.com/golfdeals/

If I recall correctly, I played the Legends course at Tahquitz Creek (the older Billy Bell course) with my son and thought it was good value for the area.

Topp is right on with Escena and Terra Lago. Desert Dunes if you play in the morning is not bad, but a little bit of a drive.
Shadow Ridge - not sure on pricing - is decent.

Try Golf Now for great deals that get better the later you wait to book your tee times and they take singles also:

Also if you are playing at the last minute you can get great discounts with Standby Golf based in Palm Springs:

Most hotels have local golf booklets in the lobby that have coupons that offer great deals too.

I would recommend Desert Dunes and the Classic Club as the best bang for your buck without a coupon.
