Both are AC's two Anza-Borrego anchor properties + about 2 minutes apart in central Borrego Springs but they target different guests.

Borrego Springs Resort & Spa (100 rooms + suites + golf cottages, 36-hole Tom Fazio championship golf, full-service spa, 2 pools, tennis, Krazy Coyote + Arroyo Grille restaurants) is the golf + amenity-rich destination resort tier. Many golf-focused guests stay at Borrego Springs Resort for direct fairway access + the Tom Fazio 36-hole experience. Sightseeing + super-bloom + Dark Sky guests typically prefer La Casa del Zorro's historic ranch feel. AC chauffeurs both regularly + some guests stay at La Casa del Zorro for ambience but play Tom Fazio golf at the Resort.

The Hawk Ridge Course is the signature 18 + plays through desert washes + arroyos + ocotillo + creosote bush + the Badlands foothills + and is the property's most-played course + open to public play in season. The Mountain Course is the higher-elevation 18 + Badlands aerial views + slightly more strategic with desert vegetation in play + open to public play in season. Both courses are at -200 to +100 ft elevation (Borrego Springs town is at -161 ft to +500 ft) + winter season October-April + closed certain summer months when heat exceeds playable limits + driving range + practice green + PGA instruction + golf shop. AC chauffeurs golf-only day trips from Palm Springs (1:00) and golf weekends from San Diego (2:00) where guests want 36 holes of Tom Fazio without the Coachella Valley golf crowd.
Anza-Borrego's peak season is October through May with 65-80 degree winter daytime highs + 40-50 degree nights + ideal for golf, hiking, photography, stargazing. November through February: coldest with 30s-40s nights, best for International Dark Sky Community stargazing. March and April: most popular for super-bloom wildflower season (peak years occur every 5-10 years when winter rains align, with desert verbena + brittlebush + ocotillo + agave + apricot mallow blooming across the Badlands). The Tom Fazio courses are open in winter season and many golfers winter in Borrego Springs for the 36-hole rotation. Summer June-September: daytime 100-115+ degrees, the courses adjust hours and the spa shifts to morning-only outdoor activities. Borrego Days Desert Festival (November) and Borrego Springs Art Festival (March) drive peak weekend demand - book 3-6 months ahead. AC's chauffeur recommendation: mid-October through early May for first-time visitors with the absolute peak being late February through early April for super-bloom potential + the prime Tom Fazio playing window.
