Palm Springs Golf

There’s probably no better place in the United States to play golf than in Palm Springs, California. This beautiful location is host to many, many golf courses that give amateurs and pros the chance to best the course while basking in the beautiful California weather. There are more than a hundred golf courses in the Palm Springs area, and most of them are of a professional quality that you won’t find anywhere else in the United States. Located on the North Western Boundry of the Coachella Valley is Palm Springs which also includes several other rapidly growing communities including Cathedral City, Palm Desert, Desert Hot Springs, Rancho Mirage, La Quinta, Indian Wells and Indio. Discovered in

the early 1920s by some of Hollywood’s elite, it is no longer the group of sleepy little villages it once was. While the area has changed over the years, the one thing that has not is the magnificent clear blue sky and the mild climate. It’s a great feeling to be soaking your body in a warm outdoor pool or playing a round of golf on a manicured course while the rest of the country is slipping and sliding behind a snow plow. The Palm Springs region, with its world-class golf courses and destination golf resorts, while not as large, is rapidly becoming the West Coast version of the Myrtle Beach golf scene. You have your choice of several different professional level courses when you travel to Palm Springs to golf. The great California weather makes it a premier, year-round vacation destination for golfers.

Yet others do offer fine elements of everything that became a standard of the ever revolutionizing concepts of golf courses.

Like the TPC at Sawgrass. Though really neat, picturesque and with a radical stadium concept, the TPC at Sawgrass by architects Pete and Alice Dye is also the toughest golf course in the whole world. TPC at Sawgrass concept of Target Golf can earn worthy challenges by superb golfers, after all its being built to honor tournament players. Too bad,

however, TPC at Sawgrass offers no room for mistake. These tournament players it supposed to honor are getting grinded and minced from the first tee on the fairways. These narrow fairways are lined with various hazards that catch even the slightest misplaced shot, and mounds that create too many obstructions, along with palm trees that even more obstruct sight and shot. The green isn t as forgiving as well, so hardly compact that it doesn t generate enough stopping action. All that until they reach the Island Green or the 17th hole and wet their pants. TPC at Sawgrass did receive major renovations though, lessening the severity of the course. It s still under reconstruction until late 2006. And for the expectant, of course the 17th hole stays.
