Desert Fairways Are up to Par in the Coachella Valley, California for Four Days & Three Nights at Your Choice of the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa, Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa, or Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa for Two, Including a $500 Gift Card for Golf (Land Only)

Toward the southern end of the Coachella Valley lies the city of Indian Wells, an exclusive enclave long hailed as a world-class vacation destination for breathtaking scenery, golf and other recreational activities, all of which you'll find at the Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa and the Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa. Set in the heart of Greater Palm Springs, Palm Desert has grown from a sandy cove at the foot of the Santa Rosas into a sprawling shopping, entertainment, and recreation Mecca, and today it's home to the JW Marriott Desert Springs, a stylish retreat set on 450 acres of vibrant desert gardens, breathtaking mountain views and signature lakes. You'll find historic architecture, secluded patios, hot tubs, and private pools at the resort - just save some time to play on the amazing nearby golf courses!

Surrounded by five legendary courses, you'll have plenty of opportunities to make birdies! Walk in the footsteps of golf legends on the Stadium Course at PGA West, ranked among some of the best courses in the world. Home of the Desert Classic Golf Tournament, this par-72 course designed by Pete Dye provides the ultimate golf experience. The Mountain Course, nestled at the base of the picturesque Santa Rosa Mountains, is famed for its Pete Dye design, playability and stunning visuals. This ultra-challenging course features pot bunkers, rock formations, elevations of tee boxes and well-bunkered greens. Carved from an ancient ocean, the Greg Norman Course at PGA West captures the essence of the outback. This challenging, yet fair design features an abundance of sand, pockets of wildflowers, nine lakes and panoramic vistas – unmatched anywhere in the Coachella Valley; and this Greg Norman gem is Audubon Certified. The same forceful presence Jack Nicklaus brought to his game is evident in his challenging desert layout at the Jack Nicklaus Tournament Course at PGA West. Long hitters will appreciate the opportunity for power off the tee with room for forgiveness, while elevated greens require you to literally raise your short game to another level. The intensity and demand of this Jack Nicklaus design is tempered by dramatic beauty and excitement of playing one of the most highly regarded courses in the Palm Springs area. The 72-par Dunes Course at La Quinta Resort & Club offers traditional rolling-links style golf with Scottish and Irish flair, characterized by rolling mounds, manicured fairways and thick rough. Length, strength and finesse are key to scoring well on this course, which has hosted the PGA Club Professional Championship, and the California State Open. And with your stay at La Quinta Resort & Club, you'll enjoy complimentary shuttle service, driving range access and complimentary range balls as well as complimentary bag storage.

At the JW Marriott Desert Springs you'll find two 18-hole championship style courses set against the towering backdrop of the Santa Rosa Mountains. Both the 72-par Palm and Valley courses were designed by acclaimed architect Ted Robinson, "King of Waterscapes," and cater to golfers of all levels. Discover 36 holes of challenging championship golf at the Indian Wells Golf Resort, near the Renaissance Esmeralda, which offers manicured greens and inspiring views and was featured in Golfweek's "Top 20 Courses to Play" in California. Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa is surrounded by world-class golfing opportunities – next door and in the surrounding Palm Springs area. The adjacent Indian Wells Golf Resort features the Clive Clark's Celebrity Course, the famed Players Course and a Putting Course. This Palm Springs golf complex is home to two courses ranked in the Top 25 "Best Municipal Courses in the United States" and offers an excellent desert golf experience.

Relish the beauty of the desert at JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa, where you'll feel relaxed from the moment you arrive on the lush resort grounds. Test your swing on the championship golf courses or play a set on the world-class tennis courts, and meander through the meditative JW Garden, which was inspired by Alice Marriott's love of gardening. Or delight in discovery at Renaissance Esmeralda Resort and Spa, Indian Wells, which is just minutes from tennis courts, two championship golf courses, Indio and Coachella festival grounds and Palm Springs' shops. The resort features all-new mid-century modernized guest rooms with private balconies and scenic views. For a transformative getaway, escape to the Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa in Indian Wells, where you can channel your inner glow with an invigorating treatment at the award-winning The WELL® Spa or achieve 36-hole nirvana at the adjacent Indian Wells Golf Resort. Once the sun sets, mingle by the fire pits on the olive grove patio while you enjoy California-inspired dishes and inventive craft cocktails.
