The golf scene in Palm Springs is a lot like that of Scottsdale. There are a barrage of golf courses worth your time, but the options aren’t as top-heavy as some other stops. And there’s so much good golf, it can be difficult to make choices.

So let’s simplify things for you here with an option for a golf-and-lodging-inclusive package. If you’re looking to experience a pricey area without breaking the bank, ​Golfbreaks​ has a few worthy options.

Their standard ​three night, three-course package​, for instance, puts you up at the Hilton Garden Inn and on at Indian Canyons: South, the Gary Player course at Mission Hills, and the Pete Dye track at Westin Rancho Mirage.

They can also inject the famous Classic Club and Indian Wells into the proceedings. For what it’s worth, all of the above appear on Golf Digest‘s ​best you can play in the area​.

Of course, some may want to tack on PGA West: Stadium, the PGA-Tour-hosting Pete Dye routing that comes in at No. 68 on the ​composite top 100 publics​. Or add on an underrated, local favorite like ​Desert Willow: Firecliff​.

But if you’re looking to keep things simple and experience a few of the many very good golf courses in Palm Springs, it can make a lot of sense to access the expertise and the cost-savings of some professional planners.
