Operated by the Desert Recreation District, the Golf Center is the valley’s most accessible place to play or practice: a nine-hole par-3 course with holes from 80 to 130 yards, plus a large two-sided night-lighted driving range with 20 additional driving decks. It is open seven days a week, including most holidays except Christmas.

Night-Lit Range and a Nine-Hole Par 3

Rates are $25 public, $20 senior, $12 junior and $10 for a replay, with range buckets at $10 and $15. The facility was renovated in 2019 and is the home of First Tee Coachella Valley, and it enjoys what the district accurately calls beautiful western mountain views.
