OUT OF AREA COURSES: 

These are a selected number of excellent courses out of the immediate Palm Springs area.  All are well worth the drive from Palm Springs, or a stop when driving to or from Los Angeles. They are moderately priced.  Longest drive is approximately 1 1/2 hours, except during the rush hours.

Membership Fees/Annual Dues:     Initiation Fees are usually charged by Private clubs and are a one time cost.  Annual dues are the cost of maintaining the memberships.  Some public and semiprivate courses have only an annual cost for playing and no cost to join.
