This resort developer has two amazing properties that boast exciting golf courses perfect for travelers looking to tee off in style. Plus, these resorts come with tons of luxurious amenities and comfortable accommodations to ensure your stay is enjoyable both on and off the golf course. Here’s everything you need to know about Welk Resorts Desert Oasis in Palm Springs and Villas on the Green in San Diego.
Welk Resorts Desert Oasis in Palm Springs
One of two Welk Resort golf destinations is found in Palm Springs. The Welk Resorts Desert Oasis offers vacationers comfortable one-bedroom villas that give families and couples all the amenities they are looking for. Families will appreciate the fully-equipped kitchens, allowing them to cater to picky palates without the hassle. And couples can enjoy the fine furnishings and privacy of having a one-bedroom condo-style unit.
There is also a resort-style pool for when the kids are itching to go swimming and splash around. Quench your thirst at the Palm Terrace Cafe which has cold beverages and quick bites to eat. Adults can also go to the adults-only lap pool and relax with some quiet time.
Nearby, vacationers can visit the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway which hovers one and a half miles over the Chino Canyon, rotating so that you can get a 360-degree view. The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens is also worthy of a day trip. If history is more up your alley, make sure to visit the Palm Springs Air Museum.
Cathedral Canyon Golf and Tennis Club at Desert Oasis
You’d be hard pressed to find a more scenic golf course in southern California. The Welk Resorts Desert Oasis in Cathedral City is the prime spot for tee time. The San Jacinto mountains which surround the Cathedral Canyon Golf Course provide a breathtaking backdrop around all 18 holes. In fact, the unique desert golf course layout takes advantage of the naturally rolling terrain and elevation changes that come with being so close to the mountains. You’ll find that this resort has challenging holes as well as easier ones so golfers of all skill levels can have fun. Plus, there are plenty of strategically placed bunkers as well as 16 lakes. With perfect, sunny weather year-round, there is no bad time to visit.

Cathedral Canyon Golf Club’s course has also undergone extensive renovations and was voted one of the top 25 most improved US courses in 2016 on Golf Advisor. Just one drive along the golf greens in a trusty, on-site golf cart will make it clear that the course is in excellent shape. The Lawrence Welk Desert Oasis golf course features a practice green and bunker, complete with a golf shop, golf classes, and tournament services.
After a day out on the green at this Welk Resorts golf course, the newly renovated Clubhouse and the Canyon Grille will fill your empty stomach.

Then there’s the Fountains, a 450-acre executive course. This great executive course is challenging, but not too difficult, making it perfect for all kinds of golfers. In addition to the two courses are a complete golf shop, golf tournament services, and a full-service banquet facility. You’ll have everything you need to know to hit the golf carts for some outdoor fun.

Welk Villas on the Green
Next, Welk Villas on the Green offers guests a more casual experience without skimping out on comfort. Villas On The Greens By Welk Resorts features smaller one-bedroom units for smaller groups.
