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.

Golfer Reviews
Just OK
Prices are high for mediocre courses. Port a potty at the first hole should have heen embarrassingly disgusting but the starter was like, meh.
Course in OK condition. Greens good. Lacking in the details. It's hard to recommend when other courses in price point are better overall experience.
To much money
When you pay $100 plus for a round usually range balls are included. The course takes a bit of a twist where you have to go across a major street to play 3 holes in considerably worse shape then the rest of the course. The rest of the course is great and in nice shape.and some really pretty holes.
Big Rock Golf Course at Indian Springs.
I have played the course before and this round was the first time this year. I always enjoyed Big Rock and today was no different. The course was in great condition and the greens were running about right. I have to say some of the pin placements seemed to be on a crest, so if you were putting on the downhill side, it's either in the hole or it's gone. Still, I loved the challenge, lots of defined breaks that were fun if you read them correctly. The pace of play was very good, just about 4 hours. Big Rock is fairly forgiving and if you stray from the fairway, you aren't penalized severely most of the time. I think it's one of the nicest golf courses in the Desert and fairly priced. The restaurant is also excellent if you want to eat or have a drink after your round. I will be returning very soon for another round.
Slugger
This is a nice course but very unusual layout crossing many streets. The condition was good with fairways and greens is good shape but rough dormant Bermuda. Pace of play was good. Restaurant and bar operation was a nice amenity.
This Side of the Grass
Spring day in La Quinta. Course in good shape. Greens a little slow but rolled true. Green side bunkers great . Followed up with drinks and dinner at Big Rock pub.
Good round
Course and staff above average. Layout is good as well. Pace of play 4.5 hrs. About normal this time of year. I give it a 4 out of 5.
Friday golf at Big Rock
Overall good course and value for the money. Great food at the restaurant.
Great course!
Beautiful views , excellent conditions tee to green!will play again!
Greens were in good shape; tee boxes were in generally good shape.. Course layout required a funky transition from front 9 to back 9 through a busy street.
