As you play the Stadium Course I encourage you to keep track of the surroundings. The golf course is a masterpiece of design. The foliage was used to frame each hole and actually creates a flow to follow the layout. There is a certain feng shui to the design that is subtle and brings a unique aesthetic to course unlike any other I've played.
As far as others to play in Palm Springs, as others have mentioned, Desert Willow is right up there. Wonderfully tough golf courses. Indian Wells is another must play facility. Terra Lago (formerly the Landmark) is really nice, when they have good conditions. Mission Hills is fun and usually worth the money. SilverRock is usually in great shape and a fun test (a Palmer design). Shadow Ridge is nice as well. Word of warning, La Quinta is grossly over-rated. I know guys that like it, but given the other courses available, and the conditions of the various tracks, have La Quinta low on your list. Enjoy yourself and make some birds!
