Since I did not go to the wedding, I have a credit on a plane ticket to use. Where should I go? I'm leaning towards Phoenix and golfing in the desert as I have never been there. California intrigues me too (Pebble Beach, Spyglass).

What are some of your favorite spots? What's there to do there?

Vegas is the fall back spot obviously.

I will be in phoenix for work in December. Golf prices will probably be too high then. I played Dinosaur Mountain last August for under 50$ but the winter rate is 140$. Other than golfing, you can make a nice day trip or overnighter to Sedona from Phoenix.

Phoenix is ok at best, but if you are in that area, do the nightlife in Scottsdale, and make sure to visit Sodona. Phoenix (the downtown area) is boring as shit and is completely dead after 5pm, unless the Diamondbacks are playing.

...zwick, possibly think of So.Cal if your looking for warm weather and great golf......Palm Springs!

I've played La Quinta --see below(Moutain Course); PGA West; Desert Willow; Palm Valley CC;...etc





This is La Quinta (Dunes course).... #18

4cards why the hell are you so high on Palm Springs for? I guess if your into hanging out with people using walkers or same sex your good to go. Yes the golf course is very nice but you can go other places that have a great course and a better night life.

...It's Zwick, you think he has a life other than golf...:)

As far as PS goes, I love the warm weather and smacking that white ball around on some of the most beautiful golf courses anywhere. I also stay for free because all my family lives out there.

Well if it is free then I guess it is ok. But I am just not a fan of Palm Springs. But I do agree the courses are beautiful but you better go at the right time so your not out golfing when it's in the 100's.
