The greens are flat and there are no blind shots. From San Diego (about ten miles south to the course): Take I-5 south to Highway 54 east. Exit at Briarwood and go right to the bottom of the hill. Go left on Sweetwater Road, and the course will be on the right.

BORREGO SPRINGS GOLF RESORT & COUNTRY CLUB (1997)

DESERT REGION                              

Resort - 27 hole - cost: $40 - $64

1112 Tilting T Drive, Borrego Springs, GA 92004

Tel: (760) 767-3330

Designed by Cary Bickler. The three nines are the Mesquite, Desertwillow, and Palms. Known for its generous fairways and large, tiered greens, Borrego Springs is accented with palm trees and bunkers. Water comes into play on five holes. Borrego Springs is part of a full service resort. The two most challenging nines are the Desertwillow and Palms. The yardage listed is for the Mesquite/Desertwillow combination. Carts are included and mandatory. From San Diego (about 90 miles northeast to the course): Take I-8 east to Highway 67, go north to Highway 78, and go east. In Santa Ysabel, turn left on to Highway 79. Turn right onto S-2, then left onto S-22. Once in Borrego Springs, pass the roundabout and then turn right at the only stop sign. This is one of the few 27-hole courses that allow you pick which nine holes you would like to play (in most cases). Friendly staff, nice course, and reasonable green fees make this a worthy choice.
