7 best golf hotels in Palm Springs

Golf hotels in Palm Springs sit at the sweet spot between world-class desert golf and the kind of relaxed, sun-soaked stay that turns a tee time into a full holiday. Choose a base that pairs easy access to key courses with walkable pockets for dinner and galleries—especially around Downtown Palm Springs, a classic hub for cafés and culture. For scenery and photos, Movie Colony East is a recognisable area tied to mid-century glamour, including the historic Twin Palms (Frank Sinatra’s estate).

A genuine “golf hotel” does more than claim proximity: it typically offers practical perks such as tee-time support, on-site fitness or recovery facilities, secure storage for clubs, and shuttle/concierge help to nearby fairways—ideal for couples, small groups, and visiting players who want to minimise driving between rounds and relaxation. For those who value privacy and a calmer pace, adults-only or boutique-style properties are a strong match; for social energy and easy access to nightlife, you’ll often prefer hotels closer to central Palm Springs.

On our bookable list, Twin Palms Resort (4★) is a standout for those after a more lifestyle-led stay, while La Serena Villas - Adults Only 21 & Up (4★) suits guests wanting a quieter, adults-focused golf break. If you’re looking for a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere, Santiago Resort - Palm Springs Premier Gay Men's Resort (3★) brings a distinct edge to your golfing getaway.
