The Golf Course


Yes, there are golf courses in Palm Springs, in fact in the whole Coachella Valley (the valley in which Palm Springs is located), there are about 125 of the green dreams.

As a matter of fact, I can walk to three of them, each less than a mile away from my house. So why should I be writing about golf courses when I don't play?

The answer lies in the open space that they preserve. There's a building boom here and the open space is disappearing fast. Near each golf course (or in it) there are bike paths. I do ride my bike (everywhere) as I have no car. The golf courses also have bodies of water--small lakes and/or natural streams--in or circumventing them. These act like mini-oasis, great places to see wildlife and some very beautiful plants.
