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.

Good value

We played this course just after it opened after over-seeding. Overall the course was good particularly just after it has recent reopened. We were just able to get in 18 holes as the pace of play on the back nine was slow.

We hit this course on a bad day

The course itself is fine. Unfortunately when we played the driving range was closed because of a flood and the fairways appeared not to have been cut for days. Our group of 4 are playing this course again and are looking forward to it now that we know are way around. Hopefully, pace of play is a little bit faster.

Friendly staff and good conditions

Enjoyed Big Rock Golf yesterday. Friendly staff and bar looked inviting but had no time to try unfortunately. Fairways in descent shape, greens reasonable speed and impressed with no watering complete fairways in order to reserve water.

Speed of play was monitored and never felt rushed.

Always a pleasure to play!

Waste of time not worth the fee

Starter had no clue how to run the first tee

Any complaint response speak to the pro shop regarding any issue

Played 7 holes in 2 hours 35 minutes

Cart path only with wide fairways plus 7 minute tee times

Means back up on every hole

Obviously this course wants to cram as many players on the course regardless of pace of play or quality of experience . No course marshaling at all

This course has become a bar with mediocre food that has a golf course with mediocre conditioning at a $100 green fee.

With a valley with so many other quality choices for the same fee go somewhere else.

Early after over-seeding

This course was in good condition although the fairways were slow as the grass was long preventing any rollout and high shots plugged as the fairways were very soft.

Big Rock

Considering just coming out of overseeding the fairways were good, greens were smooth but slow, Bermuda rough was dormant. Good design but routing is weird because of having to cross streets multiple times.
