Anything of interest in Palmdale??? LOL!!! Being as I lived up the street in California City, I can tell ya, there ain't much. I don't know squat didly about golfing, but there is a course in Cal City and a couple in Tehachapi. Might even be a couple in Palmdale/Lancaster.
There is nature stuff at the Poppy reserve. They aren't in bloom this time of year, but its still open:

There are numerous places to go hiking: Red Rock Canyon SP, about an hour north and Devils Punchbowl, just south east.

There is Six Flags Magic Mountain over in Valencia (take Hwy 14 east to I-5 then north a few miles)
Nice scenic drive over Angeles Forest Highway towards Pasadena, where he can take in the Norton Simon and a couple of other neato museums and a boatload of nice restaurants. Then take Angeles Crest Highway to Wrightwood and then the Pearblossom Hwy back to Palmdale.
Speaking of black projects, I was relaxing in my backyard one night and noticed a set of lights moving at a high rate of speed north-eastbound from Edwards AFB. All of a sudden the lights just stopped, and then went 'up' 90 degrees from the direction they were headed in. Next day I asked a couple of AF pilots I knew, they wanted to know why I was outside at 3 am. Hmmm..never told them what time I was out there.
