Municipal Golf Courses

Did you know that some of the best golf in the Coachella Valley can be found at municipal golf courses ?

The cities of Palm Desert, La Quinta and Indian Wells have spent millions of dollars in the last few years to construct high-quality courses to attract the golfing dollar. According to a recent article in Golfweek magazine, the city of Indian Wells has spent $70 million to rebuild their two city owned courses. The courses hosted the LG Skins Game over Thanksgiving weekend last year. High season green fee's are around $195.

La Quinta's Silverrock and Palm Desert's Desert Willow are the other new municipal courses in the valley that now boasts more than 120 golf courses. I can speak from personal experience that Desert Willow is a quality course and a lot of fun to play. They also have a beautiful club house and a restaurant that is worth a try.
