Affordable Golf For Seniors By: Mike Vasser

An affordable senior golf course can be found in Calistoga, California, known for it's small town atmosphere, great hot mineral pools and mud baths. The Mount Saint Helens Golf Course is located near downtown and is a public municipal course (Rating/Slope 66.4/102). It is flat, well maintained and walkable. The 9 hole course is very affordable. It has golf car and club rentals available. Accommodations are somewhat pricey in Calistoga because of the draw of the hot pools and mudbaths as well as the location in the Napa Valley wine country. If you want a wonderful 1930's experience stay at the Indian Springs resort and Spa. ($$$) For something more affordable, consider staying at Dr. Wilkinsons Hot Springs Resort. ($$) There are many wonderful, affordable eating places on the main street. The local grocery store across from Indian Springs also carries prepared foods that are perfect for a picnic or take home. On your way to or from Calistoga you might want to check out the Vintners 18 hole Course in Yountville. It is a more upscale, expensive course in a beautiful setting, looking over the Napa Valley.

The Palm Royale Country Club in La Quinta, California is a par 3, 18 hole course situated within a beautiful condominium complex. In addition to the signature palm trees the course includes numerous mini-lakes strategically placed among the holes. It is relatively flat, walkable with very reasonable green fees. Being located about 35-40 minutes from Palm Springs provides opportunities for shopping, sightseeing and casino hopping. Accommodations can be pricey. For example, one night's stay at the Courtyard By Marriot in Palm Desert starts at $129. ($$$) In Palm Springs, the Spa Resort Casino owned and operated by the Aqua Caliente Indian Tribe with all of the amenities will start at $98. ($$) Casino Resorts tend to be more reasonably priced to lure you in to spend more money in the casino and restaurants. Casino Restaurants also offer excellent, reasonably priced meals and buffets.
