Palm Springs Culture

Palm Springs is a haven for those celebrities wishing for a little privacy. Many retire to this community for relaxation, good weather and plenty of resorts. Therefore, this is quite a resort town with a mix of tourists and retirees.

However, the city’s culture lies in the game of golf. Palm Springs is surrounded with golf courses and is

known as the Golf Capital of the World. With more than 100 courses, it means there is more than one golf course for every one-and-a-half miles in the 150-square mile area. Without golf, the population would drop 90 percent.

Of the 3 million visitors each year, 1.2 million come to play golf or to observe the many world-class tournaments, such as the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic, Frank Sinatra Celebrity Tournament or the Kraft Nabisco Championship.
Most housing developments and hotels are being built surrounding golf courses.
