Several reports say that Obama spent the weekend playing golf with some of his prep school friends.

A source in law enforcement also confirmed that the former President would be taking off from Palm Spring International Airport later this afternoon.


Over the course of his presidency, Obama made quite a few trips to the Coachella Valley. His most recent visit came in 2017 when he made a trip to Palm Springs with his family shortly after his presidency ended.
