GOLFING
A favorite pastime of the locals in the Coachella Valley is golfing! With over 100 golf courses there is no shortage of new turf to play on. Some of the iconic courses are Stadium Course at the La Quinta Resort & Club, the 36-hole Indian Wells Golf Resort, and the Palm Springs 36-hole Willow Golf Resort!
SALTON SEA
The Salton Sea is a 343 mi2, shallow, saline, endorheic rift lake found in the Coachella and Imperial Valley. This lake was originally formed by a fault in an irrigation system which caused the Colorado River to fill the Salton Basin. Now the Salton Sea primarily serves as a stop for birds during migration with over 400 species of birds having been recorded at the Salton Sea. Although the water salinity does not provide ideal conditions for swimming, it was once a booming hub for Hollywood stars to play with their luxury water crafts.
