Palm Springs Country Club
Palm Springs Country Club features narrow fairways beautifully framed with trees. Accuracy is a requirement. If you have trouble staying away from water hazards, this is a great course--only five holes bring water into the picture. You can book a reservation here up to a week in advance. The dress code calls for men to wear shirts with collars. Neither jeans nor cutoffs are allowed and non-metal spikes are preferred.

Mesquite Golf & Country Club
One of the best things about this course is the scenic view of the mountains off in the distance while you play the very flat course. Those averse to water should avoid this course and its eight lakes. There is also a stream bed to deal with. You can book a tee time up to two weeks in advance. No jeans are allowed and collared shirts are a requirement.

Indian Canyons Golf Course
An extensive renovation and redesign in 2004 has made Indian Canyons almost an entirely new course. The holes were rerouted and five new lakes were added to make this a much more demanding, yet still very fun, course. Collared shirts are required and jeans are prohibited. Although not required, soft spikes are recommended. The course can be booked for reservations up to one week in advance.
