Any recommendations for reasonable Palm Springs courses? Minnesotan college student here going to Palm Springs tomorrow through Saturday night. Looking to play as much golf as I can while in the warmer weather. I'll need to rent clubs but I do have a rental car. Any recommendations are appreciated, thanks!
Edit:thank you for the recommendations everyone!

Escena is a fun track. I think it's around $90/round. Make sure to check greenskeeper.org for any aeration or course updates wherever you decide to go.
Golf near Vegas? Thinking of making a quick trip to Vegas in early September - looks like there are a lot of good looking courses.
Looking for recommendations of best courses that we could actually get on.
Looking at one maybe two rounds of golf.
Thanks!

A lot of courses will be in the process of overseeding in September. That means in many cases either the course will be closed, or cartpath-only if open. Check out greenskeeper.org in August to check on status at various courses. Best bet is to find a course that hasn't overseeded yet on the dates you are looking to play, although keep in mind the courses usually scalp down the grass and hold off on watering a few days ahead of closure in preparation for overseeding.
SoCal Golf Recommendations Looking to get back into golf, but I'm finding it really hard to find a course around LA. Anyone with some experience that can point me towards some solid tracks to check out? Looking for a more championship style course- not one of the par 58 or 5500 yard courses around. Appreciate any help!
Best courses in Los Angeles? I have a work trip to LA in April and I want to get at least 3 rounds in while i'm there. Can anyone recommend some great golf courses in and around Los Angeles?

In Orange County I liked Black Gold in Yorba Linda. Oak Creek and Strawberry Farms in Irvine have been recommended as great courses (but a bit pricey). You might want to check out the Orange County courses section over at [Greenskeeper.org](http://greenskeeper.org/southern_california/golf_courses/)
Looking for a fun Southern California golf course to go to this weekend! Any tips on where to go? I'm in the 559 area code. Thanks!

Here's a link to check maintenance alerts in the Central Valley. If you got to top 25 you can search just the central valley or LA for the best reviewed courses too. Hope this helps. [Greenskeeper.org](http://greenskeeper.org/central_california/golf_courses/?dMap=24)
Golf Course Recommendations? My dad is coming to town this weekend and I wanted to play some golf with him while he is here.
I typically play cheap/municipal courses but since he isn't in town very often I would like to get him out somewhere a little nicer/less crowded. Any suggestions on where to play? anywhere in or near OC works for me
I was looking at Fullerton Golf Course or Skylinks in Long beach.
rex_llama replied:
Fullerton is not a nice course. In fact, it's not even par 70, I believe it's par 67. Skylinks is overrated, overpriced for what it is, and often crowded, in my opinion. It sounds like you want to treat your dad, so if you're looking for something kind of nice ($50-$100 a round), I would suggest Black Gold (Yorba Linda) Coyote Hills (Fullerton) Arroyo Trabuco (Mission Viejo) Tijeras Creek (RSM) Beware, 'tis the season for aerating the greens, so a lot of courses will have their greens punched. Not the end of the world, but can be annoying. Also, greenskeeper.org is a great website for golf course info and reviews. I use it all the time.
