Indian Springs Golf Club
About
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.

Decent course
Course was in decent shape, pace of play is pretty slow. Go somewhere else if you want desert golf, this place is surrounded by houses
Nice Course - Pro Shop Anti-GolfNow
Came to play this course for the 1st time. Made time through GolfNow for 2some. This was first round of our trip and hadn't played for weeks due to winter weather. Arrived early at course to go to range to loosen up before round. Went into pro shop and there is a sign saying "range closed". Now we are very early and asked if we can go out earlier since range was closed. Staff at pro shop told us that since we booked and paid through Golfnow, that GN gets the money, not them therefore they will do nothing. I asked if they were busy and they said no but GN times are set and cannot be moved. This made no sense if course was not busy. We went to putting and chipping practice area for a bit and then to 1st tee and checked with Starter. He checked on radio and was told that we could not go early. We sat there for 40 minutes and not a single person went out. Starter kept apologizing that he had to follow the rules. It would make more sense for pace of play and keep things flowing to fill in a large gap of that size. Then a 3some came up and went out....1st group out in 40+ minutes. Then the other 2 people who booked with GN arrived and asked if they could go out and were told the same thing. They joined us and they were also upset by this. I have been using GN to book my times around the country for many years and have never experienced this before. Starters have always put me in where it fits the pace of play best. First time that I had someone make me wait 90 minutes, DUE THEIR CLOSED RANGE, saying that since they make no money from GN reservations, they will do nothing. Course was well kept and nice and I probably would have booked more rounds there while vacationing here, but I will not return to this course due to this experience. If they are so against GN reservations, then they should not receive the advertising and exposure that GN provides. Never would have heard of this course if not for GN but they seem to forget that aspect of the arrangement. This upset me to the point of feeling the need to write this review.... never posted a review ever until now. But GN users should be made aware that they will be treated as 2nd class citizens if booking through GN at this course.
Good value
We enjoyed our time playing here. The course was in good condition and pace of play was fine, although it was just after some rain so I’m wondering if that affected how busy it was.
The only downside was that the driving range was closed due to the wet conditions
Great Course Needs Support
Enjoyed the course very much. slow play due to one very slow group a few ahead of ours. Premium price should have had Marshall to intervene. Also beverage cart.
Other than a few end of summer rough spots on the fairways- very nice course conditions.
Could’ve used water cooler out there besides the clubhouse. Looks like bev cart shuts down in weekday afternoon's too.
Firm smooth greens. Tees for all abilities and a fun layout. Good relative value too. Play here when visiting the area.
Very pleasant round
Loved the pace of play- finished in just over 3.5 hours
Nice fairways and sand.
Fair greens, but a bit brown
Got us off early.
Thank you!
Fun course to play in the desert
First time playing, not as manicured as pictured but was still a good time!
Fun challenging course, great deal for the price
Pleasant atmosphere great staff, course always in good shape! Food is excellent !
nice course. allows good scores.
Hard Rock of golf courses i guess. only have played here in the summer. so its not too busy. although a couple of local high school girls teams were here on this day.
this course has a nice layout. not too much of a penalty in the rough. you can still get good contact on the ball. there's water on the right on many holes. on 9 i go down 1's fairway since no one is around. otherwise pretty straightforward course.
the cart barn guys wait for you off of the 18th green. and when you go to the green. they go to your cart to clean your clubs. only place i've played in my life that has done this. so don't be disturbed when you see them walk to your cart. guys in the shop can learn what the "hold" button is on the phone.
Hidden gem
The course is well-maintained, beautiful layout, bunkers are immaculate and friendly staff. Excellent price.
Great round of golf
Always a good round of golf, every one is nice there. Would recommend it.$
Frustrating round
1. Spent a large portion of the round dodging the fairway watering system, at one stage unsuccessful (the cart and everything in it got soaked)
2. Bathrooms locked
3. drinking water fountains broken and not working (temp over 100)
