Just writing the words “Palm Springs” gives this red-haired Cheap Bastard a mild case of heat stroke.

However, there are many that love nothing better than to spend quality time in the 198-degree heat of Southern California’s Low Desert region. It is a dry heat, after all, and you’d be pleasantly surprised that it only feels like it’s 176 degrees.

But Palm Springs is a place where the stars go, and recently, one of the biggest stars in his own peculiar universe – Chris Baldwin – made his way there to shop, have a spa, and find some good golfing deals.

Good golfing deals in Palm Springs? Well, in Chris’s latest article “Lifestyles of the cheap and savvy: Palm Springs golf’s budget sizzlers,” the rapidly balding Baldwin stumbled over some deals that may shock you.

While many think you need a platinum card just to enter the city limits, the Baldog found some beauties. One great deal is at Mesquite Golf and Country Club, where you can get on for $75 during peak season, when some of the city’s more spendy courses will run you close to two C-notes.

So take a look at what Baldwin found out about this scorching town, in a story that will surprise you about Palm Springs’ golf, and mesmerize you with the lack of Michelle Wie references.
