Tahquitz Creek Golf Resort operates two 18-hole courses in Palm Springs, designed by Ted Robinson Sr. and opened in the 1990s. The facility sits at the base of the San Jacinto Mountains on the western edge of the Coachella Valley, with the dramatic rocky slopes providing a backdrop to play. Robinson, known for incorporating water features throughout his California portfolio, brought his signature style to this municipal resort property, which serves both visitors and local residents. The Legend Course and the Resort Course offer different experiences on relatively flat desert terrain. The Legend layout presents the more challenging test, with water hazards factoring into several holes and strategic bunkering throughout. The Resort Course provides a more accessible option while maintaining Robinson's design vocabulary of defined landing areas and greenside water. Both courses feature the wide playing corridors and generous fairways typical of desert golf, with native vegetation and rock outcroppings framing holes. The property benefits from its location within Palm Springs city limits, making it one of the more accessible golf options in the area. Views extend across the valley floor toward the surrounding mountain ranges. The courses receive steady play year-round, particularly during the winter and spring months when desert golf conditions are most favorable. As a public facility, Tahquitz Creek serves as an alternative to the region's many private clubs and resort courses, offering Robinson's design work at daily-fee rates.
