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.

First Time, First Out w/ Members

First 9 meanders through a neighborhood across (underpass) the road (Jefferson) from the clubhouse. Between many of the holes many crossings are made on residential streets.

Holes 10, 11 & 12 you need to cross the crosswalk to play. This layout appears to be a bit cockeyed, but it helps to make sure that this course has the recommended 18 total holes. The final 6 holes start and end right from the clubhouse, and are laid out like a typical PS or LQ area course.

The course is fun, moderate to easy. Having course knowledge is a positive in that there are some hidden hazards. Greens are fair however the bunkers are hard as opposed to having deep fluffy content.

This course is a great alternative to the PGA West courses that ask an arm and a leg. You will get very fair conditions but not PGA West conditions.

The starter seemed cold and unfriendly to me (not that I was looking for a hug or something) but then he turned to the members that I was playing with and turned friendly, joking and glad to see them. Wow! What did I do to set this guy off?

Also, make sure that you spend some time in the attached Big Rock Grille to see some of the Rock memorabilia especially if you are a Classic Rock Fan.

Nice course. Good price.

The old starter should be in a movie. The course is in excellent condition. The cart guy is somewhat less than enthusiastic but he’s nice enough. Sort of a minimum effort for hopefully maximum profit attitude.

Fun both on and off the course

Course featured a friendly staff.

Fairways were wide, shots got lots of roll.

Greens were the fastest I played this winter.

Enjoyed a beer in the lounge after the round, has great atmosphere and interesting rock memorabilia.

Course in good condition. Slow players in front of us and horrible wind…no fault of course. Had a great meal in Pub afterwards. All staff were extremely friendly.
