Where should I golf in Palm Springs?

I am going to Palm Springs in September, and need advice on where I should golf. Price is no matter. Just looking for what you think the best course in Palm Springs (or Palm Desert or La Quinta or Indio) is. So far, I am leaning towards either Terra Lago or Trilogy.

I play every year at La Quinta during the summer because the have a great deal. A weekend stay is around $280 dbl occupancy, but that allows you to play any of their public golf courses like The Nicklaus, The Norman, The Stadium, etc… And you also get unlimited replay if you want.

The Stadium course is a great test of golf with their signature Par 3 Island green on the 17th. The 16th hole has a bunker that is at least 30 feet deep, which is basically impossible to get out towards the green.

Trilogy is good to, but for the money and quality of golf I’d go for La Qunita.

Thanks,
Don Smith
