The Springs at The Springs at Borrego

The Springs at Borrego is a David Pfaff design located in the remote desert community of Borrego Springs in eastern San Diego County. The course sits within the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park region, where the landscape is defined by dramatic desert topography, rocky outcroppings, and views of the surrounding mountain ranges. Pfaff's routing works with the natural desert terrain, incorporating native vegetation and the area's distinctive geological features into the playing corridors.

The layout reflects the challenges typical of desert golf, where accuracy off the tee is rewarded and errant shots can find native waste areas or desert scrub. The course takes advantage of elevation changes inherent to the site, offering variety in hole character and strategic options. Water features are used selectively, providing visual contrast against the arid surroundings while also coming into play on certain holes.

Borrego Springs itself is a small, isolated community known for its dark skies, wildflower blooms in wet years, and proximity to extensive desert wilderness. The golf course serves both residents and visitors drawn to the area's natural setting and quieter pace. The climate allows for year-round play, though summer temperatures can be extreme, making fall through spring the more popular seasons for golf in this part of the Colorado Desert.
