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.

Great course

This course was worth the time and money spent there. Everything from the tee box to the green was in excellent condition. Pace of play was perfect, no waiting. I’ll definitely be back.

Beautiful course with mountain views

Great course In excellent condition especially the fast greens. Only complaint was the lack of sand in all the traps. Very difficult to come out of green side bunkers without sculling the ball.

Ok if you get a cheap price

Decent Layout but not in great shape greens ok but the fairways not great

Pace of play was not good and there was no one on the course to keep people moving

Lots of road crossings and they aren’t marked well you actually have to crops a main road at a street light didn’t seem too safe

The pub looked ok but too crowded

Consistent course

I’ve had the pleasure of playing this course about 6 times in the past two years. This course has always been consistent from the fairways to the very true greens. I’ve never had a bad round round here and the staff are the friendliest people you’ll meet .. highly recommended….

Poor pace of play

Course had me down for wrong tee time, 1 hour frost delay and no message from GN.com. No practice range, but still charged full price! Won't pace of play ever. Almost 3 hours for front 9! We were told we would be able to finish 18 when we checked in, but it was so slow, we stopped after 9, we would have never finished as it was already 3:30. Never playing there again!!

Frost delay turned bad

Frost delay. No driving range as flooded area. Understand that but zero communication before hand. Specifically asked when we checked in if we had time to play 18 and was told yes. 35 minute frost delay turned into hour. Play could not have been slower. Took 2 hours 45 minutes to play 9 holes. Quit after that as wait time on every hole was ridiculous

Slow Play

First of all there was an hour frost delay and we never received an email from GolfNow.com. we had a 12:00 noon tee time and they gave us a 12:07. Secondly, the driving range was closed, should have not had to paid full amount. Slowest pace of play i have ever seen. no course marshal. people in front of us were waiting till group in front of them were on the greens and they couldn't drive the ball 100 yards, had kids with them. Never playing there again.
