Wednesday Night Awards Ceremony May 8th at 6:45pm at the Cooper Pool BBQ Area. We will award the Daily Honey Pot Payout for Wednesday as well as the Four Day Honey Pot payout. Trophies will be awarded to the winning teams.

Early arrival or late departure
Based upon availability, it is usually possible to come a few days early or stay a few days later. It is always easier to stay later than come in earlier. The extra cost is $175 per condo per night.

Guests at no extra cost.
Spouses or significant others can come at essentially no additional cost. There is no increase to the cost of accommodations. The only drawback for two couples staying in one condo is that there is only one bathroom for the two bedrooms.

Separate condo
One team can request a separate condo for each player. The cost is an additional $300 per player.

Airfare
Each player is responsible for their own airfare and car rentals which are quite reasonable at this time if the year. Players can fly into either the Palm Springs Airport or the Ontario Airport.
The drive from the Palm Springs Airport is approximately 30 minutes to the condos. The drive from the Ontario Airport is approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.
LAX is an alternative but the drive is about two and one half hours.

Car Rentals
I have found Costco Travel has some of the best rental rates, so if you’re a member go through Costco Travel to book your car rental. Turo.com is another great alternative. You can select pretty much any vehicle that you’ve ever wanted to drive. Think of AirBnB for cars.
