Not nearly as isolated as you might think, Palm Springs is just a two-hour drive from L.A. and three-and-half hours from Phoenix. From either starting point, it's Interstate all the way via I-10. The Coachella Valley runs between the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains and is just a few miles west of the Joshua Tree National Park.
With more than 300 sunny days a year, the weather is near perfect for golf six months of the year. From November to March, highs in the mid-70s are the norm. Even April and May, when the desert begins to warm, are more than bearable. Palm Springs provides golfers with the perfect opportunity to play 36 holes a day. The summer season brings triple digit heat, but it also means you have a rare opportunity to sample some of the region's upscale resorts and courses for about half the peak season rate.
The Westin Mission Hills Resort & Spa is offering a couple of inviting specials:
- You can book their Fairways to the Spa special which includes two rounds of golf and a 60-minute spa treatment - rates depend on the season. For rates and booking, please call direct at 1-866-716-8132 and mention rate plan GSPKG.
