Frequently Asked Questions

With three 9-hole courses - Mesquite, Desert Willow, and Palms - how do you recommend playing 18 holes at Borrego Springs Resort?

You've got great flexibility here, which we love. We often combine the Palms and Desert Willow for a challenging 18, as they offer a nice contrast in design and some truly memorable holes. The Mesquite is a bit shorter, perfect for a quick nine or if you're looking to ease into your round.

When is the best time of year to visit Borrego Springs Resort for golf, considering its desert location?

Hands down, you'll want to aim for late fall through early spring - think October to April. The desert heat in summer is no joke, but during these months, the temperatures are absolutely perfect for a comfortable round, often with clear, sunny skies. It's truly ideal golf weather.

What's the overall character and difficulty level of the courses at Borrego Springs Resort?

You'll find classic desert golf here, with well-maintained fairways framed by natural desert landscaping. While none are overly punishing, the Desert Willow offers some tighter lines and more strategic bunkering, providing a good test for your irons. The Palms is more open, letting you really swing away.

What makes playing golf at Borrego Springs Resort a unique experience compared to other desert courses?

What truly sets it apart are the stunning, unobstructed views of the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park and the surrounding mountains. You're playing right in the heart of a natural preserve, which means incredible wildlife sightings and a profound sense of tranquility you won't find just anywhere. It's truly an escape.

How is the pace of play and typical crowd level at Borrego Springs Resort, especially with three 9-hole courses?

You'll generally find a relaxed pace of play here, especially on weekdays. Even with three nines, the resort manages tee times well, so you rarely feel rushed. Weekends can be a bit busier, but it's still far from the packed courses you might encounter elsewhere, making for a pleasant round.
