If you're sick of getting beat up and spit out by all the big-name, big-bite courses in the Palm Springs resort area paradise of La Quinta, Big Rock Golf & Pub at Big Rock Golf & Pub at Indian Springs could be the course for you.

This track provides a reprieve from the hacker battering. The design is pretty straight forward. Water only comes into play on two holes. The fairways are mostly flat.

Golfers can get into trouble in the desert areas bordering some holes, but as long as you're not too wild, the pain should be kept to a minimum. Big Rock Golf & Pub at Indian Springs is all about golf as a fun escape.

It's not a course that feels like it must make hackers prove something. The slope rating at this John Gurley Sr. design is 127 for men, 120 for women.

Big Rock Indian Springs Golf Course

Big Rock is a fun course to play. It has some challenging holes, but they are fair. The fairways and greens were in very good condition. Bunkers were good, no rocks. I have played the course a number of times and I have always enjoyed it!

Nice golf, fun clubhouse

The fairways are in great condition. The greens are fast and difficult. Red tee boxes are in great condition. The rough grass is dormant but fluffy enough to allow a decent shot. The clubhouse is amazing with rock legend memorabilia. The patio has a fun party vibe with a wonderful view of the shadow mountains.

Must mention that we booked through GolfNow and were allowed to tee off earlier than our reserved tee time.
