There is nothing like a really grand golf vacation at California’s Palm Springs, especially if money and time are at one’s own disposal. No pressures, no limitations – just sheer golfing goodness. When in Palm Springs with every bit of intention to explore the best of this paradise’s golfing scene, then the South Course of the Indian Canyons Golf Resort is one very good place to start.
Not only is this golf vacation destination very beautiful – with its sweeping views of the oveshadowing Mt Jacinto and the surrounding mountain ranges. Another is its playability. The layout of the South Course is impressively both challenging and playable, a very smooth touch to the rough edges of the desert setting. And that is not to be in any way surprising. This golf spectacle was crafted with a woman playing a major role. Golf course architect Casey O’Callaghan had LPGA Hall of Famer Amy Alcott for consultant. Thus the 6,582-yard, par 72 beauty came to life. Four lakes grace the whole property and are present on six of the eighteen holes, paired with rolling mounds and fairways.
The South Course is best known for the series of par-five holes that 
never fails to make golfers’ toes curl either in fear or in happiness. Either way, they end up with a smile – whether with a scratch on the head or a high five, depends on the scorecard. Golf trips here are always extra beautiful and picture-perfect thanks to the more than 800 palm trees dotting the course. If course-hopping excursions were to start here, the other courses might have to wait a little longer. Here, there is always room for seconds.

The contrasting polarities, when tastefully meld together becomes a glorious spectacle. But that takes a lot of genius, patience and hardwork to achieve. It takes a good eye for detail to create an effective irony and not something that looks out of sorts. Take the

Not too much a mystery, though; it only borders on two things: make themselves better or worse. In that case, the 
November of 2006 after the careful and magnanimous redesigning project by Clive Clark of the original 1986 East Course design by the legendary Ted Robinson. From the relatively flat course with very few striking features, Clark created a golf course that makes for interesting games. Clark filled the course with an array of huge mounds around the holes, some neat but provocative bunkering, and water features that are as beautiful as they are challenging, the golf course became 
mystery. Here, there are no forced carries, not as many bunkers with just 93, and water on seven holes – and though it is practically surrounded by desert, the desert part is restrained to give way to wider fairways to make for easier shots.

It took Jack Nicklaus some years and a lot of hardcore golf championship titles before he got to the legendary status in the sport. That is one story. How he became equally legendary in the golf design aspect is another. Not all champion golfers are equally as successful in golf course design; and Nicklaus is a definite standout. One look at any of his works is a perfect reason to say how good he is at the craft. One

mountains, or in the desert, everything under the California sun looks good. It could be that, or it could just be that this is one gorgeous place – every inch of it. But while the mystery remains as to what sort of magic binds California in a stunning spell, at the 
part of the 36-hole golf resort of La Quinta. It bears a Scottish-links style layout and takes its players up and down the sandy paradise. The scenery surrounding it are extremely stunning, its layout very, very enjoyable. Laid in comparison to its more difficult sibling, this course is much easier and more forgiving. Bad shots are not too punishing and create an easy recovery, although forced carries are almost a necessity at every hole. But that should not make golfers assume that they can take the course lightly.
