With more than 30 golf courses inside the city limits, and over 100 in the valley, Palm Desert has rightfully earned the title 'Golf Capital of the World.' The city-owned course, Desert Willow, has been featured in Smithsonian Magazine, and has been honored for its environmental and ecological integrity.

Palm Desert is home to such celebrated golf tournaments as the 'Bob Hope Chrysler Classic' and the 'Frank Sinatra Celebrity Invitational' which is hosted by the city's own Desert Willow Golf Resort.

Indian Wells Tennis Garden

If tennis is your game, choose from over 150 tennis courts in the city. Indian Wells Tennis Garden is home to the world's sixth largest tennis tournament in the world in March. The Desert Seniors Cup Tennis Tournament is also held here.

SHOPPING
Palm Desert is home to over 1,050 retail establishments in more than 14 shopping districts including the area's only regional mall. El Paseo, an upscale boulevard of fine clothing shops, art galleries and quaint restaurants, is aptly called the 'Rodeo Drive of the Desert.' The every weekend College of the Desert Street Fair brings vendors from throughout southern California to sell their wares in an outdoor setting. And then there are literally hundreds of additional retail stores offering anything and everything you can imagine.

From a large-scale mall to outdoor stalls, from special events to specialty boutiques, exclusive avenues to expansive factory outlets, you won't find a greater variety of shopping anywhere.

MUSEUMS & CULTURAL ATTRACTIONS
McCallum Theatre The McCallum Theatre is a state-of-the-art performing arts center located in the heart of Palm Desert. Founded in 1988, it has earned a reputation for diversified, high quality programs. The theater founders committed to a goal of enriching the lives of desert residents by making the performing arts affordable and accessible to as many people as possible. Today, the McCallum annually enjoys the patronage of a quarter million theatergoers.

An astonishing variety of entertainment and cultural experiences have been presented by the McCallum over the years: award-winning plays, Broadway touring productions, international stars of dance and opera, major concert artists from classical, pop, jazz, country and rock music, and a rich variety of family and children's programming.

The valley is home to annual jazz festivals, fascinating lecture series and several highly acclaimed art shows including the La Quinta Arts Festival and Southwest Arts Festival. Special cultural events abound. Watch for information in the local media.

ART
The Palm Desert area is a work of art itself, with a majestic mountain backdrop and prolific Art in Public Places program that integrates works of art into medians, parks, buildings and an Interstate freeway overpass bridge with lizards carved into the cement entrance. The nationally recognized program enhances the appearance of literally every portion the city. More than 90 sculptures and public artworks greet you wherever you go - in Civic Center Park, along El Paseo, and at the entrance to most centers and resorts.

Abundant art galleries are available for your pleasure. We invite you to stroll along El Paseo or Corporate Way and visit some of the dozens of galleries that offer every type and medium of art you could possibly desire. Visit one of many artist demonstrations, exhibits or outdoor art shows. It is easy to see why Palm Desert has become known for its innovation in promoting public art throughout the city.

NATURE & WILDLIFE
Widely known and highly regarded, the Living Desert Reserve is the pride of Palm Desert. Privately endowed, the 1,200 acres are comprised of a superior collection of desert plants and wildlife in a natural setting. In addition to the warthogs, Arabian oryxes, desert unicorns, mountain lions, cheetahs, Mexican wolves, bighorn sheep and more, there are magnificent botanical gardens, nature trails, and the new Wa Tu Tu African Village.

Within a short drive in any direction, there are new vistas for camping, hiking, rock hounding, and bird and wildlife watching. The desert and mountain trails are perfect for exploring the natural beauty of the region. And don't be surprised to see a bighorn sheep or two on the hillsides.
