Golf in Desert Hot Spring

The desert hot spring area north of Palm Springs in Riverside County refers to the natural geothermal resources in the northern Coachella Valley. Hot mineral springs emerge in the Desert Hot Springs area, forming the basis for the spa and resort uses that have characterized the community. The terrain north of Interstate 10 in this part of the county includes the desert bench above the Coachella Valley floor, where numerous hot spring wells have been drilled. Riverside County's Desert Hot Springs community has developed around the geothermal resources, with spa resorts and retirement housing drawing visitors and permanent residents. The broader area includes both the city of Desert Hot Springs and adjacent unincorporated communities with access to hot spring water.
