Indian Springs Golf Club
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.

Good vs Excellent
Good overall rating due to no potable water on course or refreshment cart.
Fun course
Started early. 6:48 am. Played in 3 hours. Course in good shape, except the ball marks on the greens. Good bunkers. Overall a good experience.
Course was in great shape ,the layout was fun and challenging, the patio is great place for that after round cold beer!!
Perfect Day!
The course and amenities tie in nicely for a challenging game of golf and a relaxing happy hour on the deck to complete the outing. Don't change anything!
Best bang for your buck
Course was absolutely gorgeous. Will definitely be coming back to play again. Teed off at 1pm and finished at 5pm. Solid pace of play
Nice golf, fun clubhouse
The fairways are in great condition. The greens are fast and difficult. Red tee boxes are in great condition. The rough grass is dormant but fluffy enough to allow a decent shot. The clubhouse is amazing with rock legend memorabilia. The patio has a fun party vibe with a wonderful view of the shadow mountains.
Must mention that we booked through GolfNow and were allowed to tee off earlier than our reserved tee time.
Decent course
Course was in decent shape, pace of play is pretty slow. Go somewhere else if you want desert golf, this place is surrounded by houses
Nice Course - Pro Shop Anti-GolfNow
Came to play this course for the 1st time. Made time through GolfNow for 2some. This was first round of our trip and hadn't played for weeks due to winter weather. Arrived early at course to go to range to loosen up before round. Went into pro shop and there is a sign saying "range closed". Now we are very early and asked if we can go out earlier since range was closed. Staff at pro shop told us that since we booked and paid through Golfnow, that GN gets the money, not them therefore they will do nothing. I asked if they were busy and they said no but GN times are set and cannot be moved. This made no sense if course was not busy. We went to putting and chipping practice area for a bit and then to 1st tee and checked with Starter. He checked on radio and was told that we could not go early. We sat there for 40 minutes and not a single person went out. Starter kept apologizing that he had to follow the rules. It would make more sense for pace of play and keep things flowing to fill in a large gap of that size. Then a 3some came up and went out....1st group out in 40+ minutes. Then the other 2 people who booked with GN arrived and asked if they could go out and were told the same thing. They joined us and they were also upset by this. I have been using GN to book my times around the country for many years and have never experienced this before. Starters have always put me in where it fits the pace of play best. First time that I had someone make me wait 90 minutes, DUE THEIR CLOSED RANGE, saying that since they make no money from GN reservations, they will do nothing. Course was well kept and nice and I probably would have booked more rounds there while vacationing here, but I will not return to this course due to this experience. If they are so against GN reservations, then they should not receive the advertising and exposure that GN provides. Never would have heard of this course if not for GN but they seem to forget that aspect of the arrangement. This upset me to the point of feeling the need to write this review.... never posted a review ever until now. But GN users should be made aware that they will be treated as 2nd class citizens if booking through GN at this course.
Good value
We enjoyed our time playing here. The course was in good condition and pace of play was fine, although it was just after some rain so I’m wondering if that affected how busy it was.
The only downside was that the driving range was closed due to the wet conditions
