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.

Extremely slow pace of play

4:43 for 18 holes finished in darkness. Too bad, very nice course otherwise.

Two courses

Teed off on 10. 11, 12 must have been part of original course. Course and surrounding pretty shabby.

Course cut up by busy roadways. Washroom facilities not great.

Restaurant closed to public at end of game.

BIG ROCK GOLF AT INDIAN SPRINGS

I have played this course numerous times and have enjoyed every round played. The course was in very good condition from tee to green. The greens were in nice condition and rolled true. Overall, it was a nice day, but somewhat windy. We did wait on a few holes, but managed to play in about 4 1/4 hours. I would recommend this course to anyone. Afterwards, the 19th hole is a fantastic restaurant/bar.

Rock

3rd time playing this track in the last month. Fairways are wide open and nice. Smooth with no bare spots. Ground is hard. Greens are running around 11. Bunkers could use more sand. Fun course.

Had a great time at this first time course. Not sure if I would pay $130 plus but we got for $97 so ok. Greens were great and par 3’s are pretty good. Want to go back and play again. FT

Big Rock Rocks for $80

Caught an 11:52 tee time for $80 on teeoff.com. Course was in good condition and played in 4 hours and 15 minutes. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Weather was perfect and playing partners from Minnesota were fun to play with. I played blue tees which were about right for a 67 year old 4 handicapper. Range wasn't open due to wash outs in the canal where it is located so got off to slow start, but came home in 37. The pub at Big Rock has good food and great views overlooking the golf course. All around enjoyable day.

Very good glass condition in fairway and green

Glass condition is perfect.

We had difficulty to find #10 tee, it will be nice to display the arrow mark before crossing the road.
