Want a sunny location from 90f -45f this is the place to come in Feb. Every resort and gated community has one or 2 golf courses. Must use carts! Everything is 5 star including the shopping. Bargains can be found in the Mall. Eateries come from fast food to exclusive dining. There are 3 markets that are massive. One on the weekend in the parking lot of a college and the other a night market in the streets on Thursday nights.

Take the ride up the mountain spectacular view. Lots of hiking trails at the top. Both restaurants are tasteless and expensive. Bring a lunch and eat it in the bar area.

Definitely drive up the mountain to Idelwylde. Worth the drive. Region is totally different. Real mountain forest. For like buildings. Cafe is fabulous food and reasonable. Fabulous cornbread and apple pie.

Take to tour to Joshua tree national park. Very interesting.

Lots to see. 1 week is plenty of time but if you are a golfer 2-3 wk. is enough time to do both. Lots of canadians here.
