Question 1

What is the average green fee in Palm Springs?

Accepted Answer

In peak winter season (January–April), expect $80–180 at mid-tier courses and $200–400+ at premium resort layouts like PGA West Stadium Course. In summer, the same courses often drop to $40–80 due to extreme heat.

When is the cheapest time to golf in Palm Springs?

Accepted Answer

Summer (June–September) offers the lowest rates in Palm Springs, with many courses pricing rounds at $40–80 — sometimes 60–70% off peak rates.
