and high end shopping, similar to what you would enjoy in Las Vegas

beautiful. In fact, if you watch golf tournaments on television, you've already seen many of them. They star in the highly-rated network golf special.
Tennis is the sport that originally built Palm Springs. Movie stars Charlie Farrell and Ralph Bellamy began their famed Racquet Club in Palm Springs to attract their Hollywood friends. Be
warned, however, the gorgeous mountains in the background may play havoc with your concentration.
Not only are there more than 100 golf courses in the greater Palm Springs area, but many are

facilities range from public parks to post country clubs. So, by all means, bring your clubs and your racquets.
