Barren. Uncultivated. Desolate.

Those are all words used to describe the desert. But anyone who’s spent any time in a part of the Sonoran Desert known as the Coachella Valley knows they don’t come close to capturing the essence of one of the world’s great golf destinations.

There are many reasons to love the greater Palm Springs area, which includes the cities of Palm Desert, Indian Wells, Bermuda Dunes, Rancho Mirage, La Quinta and several others. From the heights of the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway to the top-notch shopping, dining, nightlife and spas, the region attracts everyone from youths on spring break to octogenarians seeking warmth and relaxation.

But being able to tee it up at a variety of courses could be the region’s calling card. More than 150 layouts make the Coachella Valley one of the most diverse golf spots in the world.

From the history and accommodations to the personalities, courses and events, the Coachella Valley truly offers one of the most unique golfing experiences in Southern California.
