Desert Springs (Indiana) - Southern Spain - Spain

Following our recent visit to Desert Springs, I would like to thank you and everyone involved in making our stay such an enjoyable experience. The range, chipping area and putting green are in excellent condition and along with the use of the GASP studio and a lot of hard work the lads have honed their games for the season ahead. The course is in fantastic condition with excellent greens, which was a bit of a shock to the system after a long English winter. The food was first class both at the Golf Club and the Crocodile Club and everyone at Desert Springs looked after us with a smile on their face. A final thank you to everyone and hopefully we will see you again next year. Mike Ready, Herts Golf Union.

Words from Sir Ian Botham; "Throughout my playing career and after, I have been privileged to have been invited to participate in numerous golf events at some of the most luxurious locations all around the world. Hosting your own event, in your own name, for the charity of which you are President can be a daunting task. Certain criteria have to be met by the host venue both for the celebrity guests and the amateurs. Desert Springs as a venue offers my guests a relaxing ambience, a unique experience and an underlying overall charm. It has lots of quality facilities to enjoy besides world class golf. Its staff afford a warm welcome and unrivalled professional service That is why my decision to host the Ian Botham Charity Golf Classic in aid of Leukaemia Research at Desert Springs in October 2007 was an easy one and due to its phenomenal success, why I have selected Desert Springs to host the final of my 2008 Charity Golf Series.”
