is easy to get to. The drive from the greater Los Angeles area is not more than 60 miles.
During your stay in Palm Springs one can play over 100 golf courses. There is not much
difference in the quality of the golf courses in Las Vegas to those in Palm Springs. Although there may be some more recognizable course because of the PGA Tour exposure.
As the greater Palm Springs area continues to grow, you will find an abundance of
restaurants and high end shopping, similar to what you would enjoy in Las Vegas

television, you've already seen many of them. They star in the highly-rated network golf special.
Tennis is the sport that originally built Palm Springs. Movie stars Charlie Farrell and Ralph Bellamy began their famed
Racquet Club in Palm Springs to attract their Hollywood friends. Be warned, however, the gorgeous mountains in the background may play havoc with your concentration.
Not only are there more than 100 golf courses in the greater Palm Springs area, but many are among the world's most
spectacular and challenging—and, surprisingly many of those are open to the public. If you watch nationally televised golf
tournaments, you've already seen some of them and no doubt, dreamed about playing them.
However, tennis was the sport that originally drew sports enthusiasts to the desert. Today, tennis facilities range from
public parks to post country clubs. So, by all means, bring your clubs and your racquets.
