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.

What a Gem!

First time playing this course and I loved it. Best value in the area by far. When you are done a great restaurant on site with excellent food. I could play this course everyday. Stay below the hole!

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.

Great golf

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.

Rockin Big

My favorite course in the Palm Springs area. Tees to support my age (nearly 80.) Course seems to fit my eye.The clubhouse is really entertaining for after round libations and dinner on the deck is great.

Brutal pace of play

Round took five hours, was told afterwards there was a bachelor party with six groups that caused the backup. The course itself was fine but the experience was terrible unfortunately.

Very fair for mid & high handicap golfers too

My wife and I really enjoyed our game there. The course is fairly laid out and the greens are very approachable. The fairways are wide and the rough is very manageable, so there won’t be much time spent looking for lost balls. The greens are fast and fun. We’ll play again next time in town.

Enjoyed the day

Overall our golf experience was enjoyable. The pace of play was slow as the round was played in 4 hours and 40 minutes. Staff was friendly and we enjoyed the 19th hole with dinner in the restaurant.
