Marriott's Shadow Ridge Golf Club

Palm Desert, CA · 1.5 mi away

Classic Club is a daily fee course in Palm Desert, California, in the Coachella Valley, designed by Arnold Palmer's design company and opened in 2006. The layout uses rolling, built-up terrain with elevated tees that give golfers views of the surrounding mountains, since the desert site had little natural contour before construction. More than 5,000 pine, olive and pepper trees along with roughly 30 acres of lakes and 14 stone bridges were added during building. The course played host to the PGA Tour's Bob Hope Classic from 2006 to 2008 and stretches to more than 7,300 yards from the back tees, with water affecting play on most holes. A large Tuscan-style clubhouse houses a restaurant and banquet space, and the course is managed by Troon Golf as a public, semi-private style operation with caddie service available.

Firecliff is the tougher of the two courses at Desert Willow Golf Resort in Palm Desert, California. Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry designed it with John Cook, and it opened in 1997. The layout plays through desert washes and native scrub rather than housing corridors, with wide fairways, sizeable waste areas and long views to the Santa Rosa Mountains. Its greens are large and heavily contoured, and the course is set up to stay firm. Desert Willow is owned by the City of Palm Desert and open to public play.

The South/West Course at Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort is located in Rancho Mirage, California, in the Coachella Valley, with Mount San Jacinto forming a backdrop and thousands of palm trees lining the rolling terrain. The resort offers 27 holes total, arranged as three nines played in different 18-hole combinations. The resort golf courses opened in the late 1970s as part of the Rancho Las Palmas development, which replaced the earlier Desert Air Hotel airstrip property. Six lakes come into play across the three nines, along with strategically placed bunkers guarding the greens. The South/West combination is open to resort guests and the public, and rounds typically play in under four hours. As part of the Omni resort, golfers have access to a clubhouse, practice facilities, and the broader amenities of the property, including dining and spa services.
