The 2011 Desert golf season is upon us! This is such a great time of the year. Yes, the excess dust caused by scalping can be a little annoying (although it only lasts for a couple days), but the weather is so perfect. The days can be a bit hot, but the evenings are primo! It’s the perfect room temperature outside. I love both May and October for that reason. If you’ve just come back to the Desert, you’re probably curious about when the courses open back up. Here’s a list of private La Quinta courses along with public courses throughout the valley.
