Bob Hope Chrysler Classic

Coming to Palm Springs, Palm Desert or La Quinta for the big PGA Tour event ?

This year the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic is being held January 14 - 20 at four local golf courses. Last year's tournament introduced a new Palm Desert course to the golfing world, and this year's tournament will do the same. In 2007, The Classic Club in Palm Desert became the first new golf course in the rotation in recent memory. In 2008, Silver Rock Resort in La Quinta will join the tournament. La Quinta Country Club and PGA West make-up the other tournament venues.

Sunday's final round will be held at The Classic Club, which is less than 10 minutes from our Palm Desert Vacation Golf Condo. If you are going to be in the area for the tournament, make sure to check our other posts here in this blog for visitor information.

If you need a place to stay and want the freedom that a beautiful condo in a private country club can offer, check the availabilty at our Palm Valley Country Club condo for the dates you are interested in. Not only can you enjoy the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic, but you can play unlimited golf on both private courses using our Platinum Membership (guest fees apply).

Palm Desert Restaurants - New Reviews

Finally got a chance to eat at Armando's Bar & Grill on El Paseo. After having several recommendations, we just had to try it.

For Mexican food this is the place to go. The Tamales and Chile Relleno's were fantastic ! And the Margarita's - WOW !

I can definitely recommend a visit...

If you want a very casual, "down home" breakfast try Keedy's on Hwy 111. Nothing fancy, but extremely popular with the locals. We had normal breakfast items and everything was well prepared and tasty. We've heard good things about lunch there also.

Golf, Spa, Tennis & Condo Rentals

I thought I'd add a comment re. golf, spa and tennis access and renting a vacation home.

Whether you rent our Palm Valley Country Club golf condo or not, you need to make sure that you will actually be able to play where you are renting. Some Country Clubs have restrictive access rules re. non-member tenants. A word of advice - make sure you check first !

Our "Platinum" membership at Palm Valley Country Club allows for unlimited play of both private golf courses as well as full tennis, spa and use of the golf practice facilites. Even at Palm Valley Country Club, the membership level of the unit you are interested in may not allow you to enjoy the activities you were planning on. There are several membership levels, but only the "Platinum" level allows for unlimited access to all facilites. Guest fees do apply at all membership levels.

For additional information on the amenities at Palm Valley Country Club, check our Palm Desert Vacation Condo website.
