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 track

5 stars, the only change I would like to see is the bar open earlier and a more frequent beverage cart.

Always a Favourite

Great Course with good rates available. Only objection is the need to buy balls for a warm up on the range.

Not like our last visit

We last played here just before covid hit and were very pleased with that visit, so we wanted to repeat that memory. The staff this time weren't overly friendly, the course was similar but more expensive, there's no longer the complimentary free beers and we felt less welcome, maybe because we used GolfNow to book??? The golf was good, greens and fairways were nice but it just seemed less fun this time.

Windy weather

beautiful condition

Fabulous course in great condition. If you are looking for those mountain views, too, though, look elsewhere. All views are of houses and condos.

The course is in excellent shape.

Not what was expected

Unfortunately the course was a bit on the rough side. Also I don’t like driving across major highways on a golf cart during my round. Did not meet my expectations and value unfortunately.

Fun but Windy

We enjoyed playing the course and under different weather conditions it would have been a great day. The wind that day was a steady twenty mph with gusts that had to exceed 50 mph at times. The air was filthy but we kept playing and finished the round. Still enjoyed the course and will play again when we return to the Palm Springs area. Restaurant food was wonderful and the staff were all very friendly.

Wonderful course in excellent shape. But no iconic mountain views in Palm Springs.

This wonderful course in excellent condition was fun.

Staff was great. The course is very well run. The clubhouse showcases a lot of paraphrenia of Big Rock- rock- n-roll. However, the course affords no views except of condos and houses. If you seek iconic Palm Springs mountain views framed by a golf course, golf elsewhere. However we enjoyed great value golf. Excellent golf day!
