After conquering the 7,300-yard course at the Arnold Palmer-designed Classic Club in Palm Desert, segue to this Tuscan-style restaurant where well drinks, draft beers, and house wines from the Wine Spectator Award-winning menu are offered at a discount from 3 to 5 p.m. daily alongside shareable dishes like ahi nachos. classicclubgolf.com

Vue Grille & Bar

At the Indian Wells Golf Resort, wind down at this stellar eatery that feels as if it’s hovering over the Players Course like a spaceship. From 2 to 5 p.m. daily, discover reduced drinks and eats like coconut shrimp with an apricot chutney and wings slathered in a spicy “angry” sauce that are served with fried pickles. vuegrilleandbar.com
