More Food....
It's time for a couple more restaurant reviews - it's been a while !
First up is Mama Liveri's Italian Bistro. This authentic family owned bistro is located next to Trader Joe's in Palm Desert. Very close to Rancho Mirage, it's in a convenient shopping area off of Fred Waring Drive. They are famous for their new york pizza but we decided to try the egg plant parmesan and a plate of spaghetti and meat balls. Both were tasty. Combined with the ambiance and decor, we will return. I'm anxious to compare their pizza with our favorite (Papa Dan's).
Next up is Roc's Fire House Grill in Palm Desert. You might remember them from their old location on El Paseo. Primarily a bar, it was famous for the little red fire truck that sat out by the curb. They moved due to the expansion of 'The Gardens' on El Paseo (which is in a stalled status). Anyway, the new location is on Cook Street, very close to the I 10. It's overlooking the intersection of Cook and Bob Hope in the new shopping center. We found it to be a great place with excellent food, a shiny new building and a comfortable atmosphere. We had the prime rib tacos and tortilla soup. Both were great ! We will definitely be going back.

Palm Valley Fitness Center
Did you know that Palm Valley Country Club has a huge fitness center ?
Big enough to rival the large commercial gyms, the fitness center has just about every workout machine you can think of. In addition there is a huge room full of treadmill's, elliptical's and StairMaster's. There are weight rooms, racquet ball courts and many other options.
You can take a class, work out with a trainer or just do your own thing. It's a great place to work off the calories !

Tennis
A lot of the interesting aspects of life at Palm Valley Country Club surround the golf courses and practice facilities. But, did you know that Palm Valley also has an excellent tennis program ?
There are a total of 16 championship tennis courts (10 lighted for night play), a spacious tennis clubhouse and a complete tennis pro shop. There is also a comfortable tennis lounge and an observation patio where you can relax, socialize with friends, and view the play on the stadium court. You can even tune your game with the sophisticated video tape system.
All of this is available should you stay in our beautifully remodeled condo with our Platinum membership.

Burger Anyone ?
We were in one of those moods the other day, and only a great burger would satisfy us.
We finally tried Grill-A-Burger in Palm Desert. Guess what - we were satisfied (and pleasantly surprised) !
If you are hungry for a great burger, this is the place. With over 20 burgers to pick from, you won't be disappointed. The burgers are hand crafted and grilled to order with freshly baked buns. We both had the standard cheeseburger, and it was delicious.
The menu also has "haute dogs", several salads, sandwiches and fountain drinks.
It's located in the Bristol Farms Plaza, at the corner of Country Club and Monterey.

Discount Golf Tee Times
I've been asked several times about how or where to find discounted tee times at other courses besides Palm Valley Country Club. There are two sites that look interesting - EZLinks.com and StandByGolf.com.
I used StandByGolf several years ago and had no problems. I haven't used EZLinks.com, but it looks interesting. They have several courses listed in the Coachella Valley depending on the day of the week. They have a 'Name Your Price' feature that might be a great way to get a discount.
Here are links to these sites;
www.standbygolf.com
www.ezlinks.com
I'd be interested in hearing your opinion if you try one of these services.
