As summer approaches, it’s time for me to start visiting the desert more frequently in search of great deals, quick rounds and new courses.

Course Reviews: Tahquitz Creek Golf Resort
Saturday was a good day to visit the desert. I knew the weather would be great, as it often is during the winter months in the beautiful Coachella Valley. There are a ton of courses out there.
