MrGinger Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Hello everyone. I will be in Palm Springs with a couple friends Feb 19-24. We are planning on playing a few rounds of golf while there. Any recommendations for some decent courses in the area? We are looking for good value courses, nothing to crazy difficult as we are 20+hcp golfers. I'd like to keep it under $125 per round. Also, are there any good spots to enjoy cigars in town? Restaurants/lounges/bars etc. If anyone is free, perhaps we can meet up for a cigar or two.

ToothlessCog Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I've been told Fame Cigars and Wine is a good place. I'll be checking it out the week before and can report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beparrish Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I'm a big fan of the Indian Canyons (North) course, along with Silver Rock. Played Desert Willow (Firecliff) last month and it was gorgeous. Have also enjoyed playing both Indian Wells Golf Resort courses (Celebrity and Players), as well as the Mission Hills Gary Player course. Terra Lago can be fun and interesting, but it can be extremely windy in Indio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trike Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Bring your umbrella and rain gear. We have had an extremely wet January for this region. I live an hour from PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozen North Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 That's a tuff question. They have over 300 courses scattered throughout that area. As far as cigar spots. Again, there is only one that I know of. It's right smack in the middle of Palm Springs main street. They don't have much for outside seating. They also charge you to light up your own smokes($8-$10) So bring your own. fame Cigars and Wine is the name. I go there all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sikfrayme Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Classic Club is a great course and will fit in your budget. Also Shadow Ridge is a solid option, and an enjoyable course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit pricey but it's a gorgeous course and they take good care of it. You always pay a huge premium for desirable tee times, I try and play afternoons bc I don't mind heat and as I previously stated, I suck. I prefer as few spectators as possible.

clutch5150 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Damn I should show up (45 min away) to show you how to golf with my low handicap of 30 or so. At least I could bring the Cuban cigars to make up for the golf balls I would have to borrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToothlessCog Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Fame looked pretty nice. I didn't get a chance to smoke there. Just passed by during Village fest. Tinder box is north of there. Bunch of guys having a herf on the corner. Brought their own chairs though. Village fest was definitely cool to check out if you are there on a Thursday.
