Club Achilles - Indoor Golf Experience

We're on vacation in La Quinta this week, and heard about this place on a tv commercial (during Golf Channel coverage of the FedEx cup naturally).

Called them for more info: like the site says, indoor luxury golf club with 7 hitting bays with 53 world wide courses, fitness center, sports bar & restaurant.

Pretty pricey: $30 / hour for hitting bays walking in off the street. $70 / day for full access to the club.

Free Golf on Birthday

I thought I already had a post about this somewhere, cuz I know a few places in San Diego offer it.

Here's one in Palm Desert:
  • Indian Springs Country Club (where we rent house periodically). Info here.

Standby Golf

When golfing in Palm Springs a couple years ago, some dudes told me about a way to save $$ by getting a tee time at the last minute (night before). I just came across Standby Golf - which does exactly that. They have a list of courses that they serve, most of which will offer discount tee times after 4pm the day before you want to play. A couple (like Trilogy in La Quinta) show 30 day advance.

Going to the desert on Wed, and may try this out.
