This was my first time attending the Northern Trust Open—or any PGA Tour event for that matter. I did go to the LPGA Kia Classic a few years... Continue Reading →
Can you recommend a couple nice, pretty, challenging courses in a Palm Springs that aren’t going to break the bank? My traveling partners and I are members at The Farms in San Diego, so we are used to a challenging track. Looking for a challenging course that’s in great condition. Thx!!!
