Golfing holidays in California

California is many things to many people, from the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles, to edgy San Francisco, to the chilled out beach towns that are dotted along Route 1, the Pacific Highway. It is also a golfing hot spot of some repute, centred on the oasis-like resort town of Palm Springs.

Easily accessible from Los Angeles, Palm Springs is a heaven-sent valley for golfing enthusiasts, where the course options are endless, and the clear skies and warm temperatures ensure perfect playing conditions year round. Like the Scottsdale layouts in neighbouring Arizona, Palm Springs is desert golf at its finest.

The laid back atmosphere at the heart of the California legend extends to a warm welcome for every visitor, making for relaxing and endearing golf escapes. In sightseeing terms, California’s geography is as diverse as its population, and its stunning beaches, landscapes and cities will live long in the memory of all those fortunate to head west for a trans-Atlantic golf holiday.
