TRIP TO THE STARS
Borrego Springs offers 4 outstanding golf and
resort options as well as stellar nighttime views
BY GREG BALL
F
or those of us golf fanatics fortunate enough to call Southern Cali-
fornia home, we are blessed with what seems like endless options
to play the game we love. Throughout Los Angeles, Orange,
Riverside and San Diego counties, there are a plethora of options – from
daily-fee tracks where you can play for less than the cost of a few fish
tacos to some of the most spectacular resort courses in the world.
One destination that sometimes gets overlooked, however, is Borrego
Springs. Just a 90-minute drive over the mountains from downtown
San Diego, the region best known for the Anza-Borrego State Park is a
golf and getaway destination that's worth another look. Thanks to the
boundless natural beauty of the Santa Rosa and Vallecito mountains,
massive desert wildflower blooms in the spring and cool, crisp nights
when visitors and residents alike enjoy stargazing unlike anywhere
else, the area offers the type of serenity and the opportunity to escape to
nature that simply can't be found in the more populated areas of our re-
gion.
With four outstanding golf and resort options in a town of less than
4,000 residents that is without a single stoplight, Borrego Springs is the
type of vacation destination where passionate golfers who are also
seeking the relaxation of a spa, fine dining and outdoor recreational ac-
tivities can have it all.
