Those who are lucky enough to have three days to set aside where they can focus exclusively on vacation fun will find the following activities a delight to add to your 3-day trip to California itinerary when you want to make the most of every moment you’re in town.
Day 1: Spend a Day at the Classic Club
Palm Desert has earned a reputation for excellence among golf enthusiasts with good reason. Here, you won’t find it hard to fill each day with time on the greens if that’s how you best enjoy spending your time. When you have three days to explore Palm Desert, make sure your delightful journey this way starts off with a day at the Classic Club. This upscale stop showcases an Arnold Palmer-designed golf course at its very best. Those who book a tee time will be treated to a 7,300-yard championship course that’s welcoming for players of all skill levels. The course is defined by gorgeous and meticulously maintained terrain that’s dotted with shade trees, unique water features, and no less than 14 bridges. Those who golf here are often thrilled to find out that the Classic Club has earned its title as a certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary as well. This means that when you enjoy a round here, you’ll encounter an array of migratory birds who thrive thanks to the protected habitats. After you’ve enjoyed a round of golf and spotted birds overhead, you can make your way to the on-site Tuscan-inspired clubhouse which spans 63,000 square feet of dining and entertainment space. From the inviting shops to the delicious restaurant, there’s no reason not to linger here longer than you might have originally planned! The Classic Club is open daily from 7:00 am until 5:00 pm.
