Rating 72.0

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.

Hidden Gem

Loved this course! Huge fairways like playing at a resort. Pace of play was superfast, probably because it was a weekday and it was kind of hot, so it wasn't super busy out there. Course conditions were excellent given the recent heatwave. Course layout is funky though. A lot of public street crossings. And get there early if you plan on warming up with range balls because the range is quite a drive from the first tee.

JC Saturday Game

Course in excellent condition. Love the restaurant. Found out after play they had a group of 30 playing in the morning; had I known, would not have booked my tee time. Had to follow; ended up being a 5-hour round.

Always consistent

As usual this course always plays great from consistent greens to well manicured fairways, they just recently punched the greens and one would barely notice it. I’ve been playing this course for the pass 3 years and never had a complaint about anything. Shout out to the cart guys too, they are the friendliest, keep it up .. 👍🏼

Nice day of it

I knew it was going to be a challenge because of the heat. Didn’t know the greens were just punched and sanded. All in all it was a fun day. and thanks to to the 2 staff guys for cleaning my clubs and offering helpful conversation.
