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.

Needs course marshall

The group of 3 playing behind us found it amusing to see how close they could hit up behind us. Happened 5 times on the front 9. Take away the par 3's where they didn't, that is basically 5 out of 7 holes. I expressed my concern after 9 and the started k ew who it was and noted that he is a good golfer and would talk to him.... Good golfer doesn't stand above golf etiquette. Back 9 was better but a course Marshall could and. Should have stopped it.

Disappointing as it was a beautiful day in a nice golf course.

Great course!!

This is great course and in really good condition as well. Fast and true greens and fairways in great condition as well. My one and only complaint would be that the bunkers were very firm and could use some additional sand or raking. I would definitely recommend and would come back to play again.

Course was good. Enjoyed it. Could be more senior friendly with shorter holes by adding another tee box.

Very Nice Conditions and Vibe

Even though this course winds through a neighborhood on virtually every hole, it always feels like you’re not being crowded in one. The conditions were very good on tea boxes, fairways and greens. The pub associated with the golf course and housing the pro shop, is a true rock ‘n’ roll themed bar and grill Complete with signed guitars and other memorabilia from top rock bands across the 60s and 70s and 80s. Would definitely play here again because it was a really good value for the money.

Pace of Play slow

On a day where there were few groups due to rain, one group of wannabe professionals took forever over shots, looked at every putt from every angle snd had no consideration of other golfers on the course. Never any marshalls to speed up slow groups.

Customer Centric

The cart gentleman brought it to our car and loaded our bags. He directed us to a very friendly check-in at the pro shop. The Rock and Roll theme of the pub was very evident both inside and outside the building, including the bathrooms. Driving range a bit hidden down in a wash area - strange setup. Played with a couple from Michigan who were familiar with the course. Nice variety of holes with all areas nicely maintained. Hot Deal price was fair. We would recommend and would return.

Big Rock

Great greens. Course is a little rough with all the play. Short time intervals leads to waiting.

Good Golf Course

Friendly staff and efficient staff from check-in, payment of golf fees and the starter at Hole#1.

The course was in good shape....both fairways and greens. Pace of play was quite slow was the only issue.
