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.

Exciting Course in the Desert ⛳️

I had an enjoyable time playing at Big Rock. Both the fairways and greens were in great condition. The Pro Shop staff was amazing. This course was fun to play.

Very Nice Golf Course

This was my first time playing this course and it was very nice with wide fairways and breath taking views of the mountains and lakes on the course. It was very maintained and even the greens were a little fast and not damaged by multiple divot marks.

Caught it on a great day

Starting from hole 1 I was playing by myself following another onesome. We both played about the same place and passed a few couples on hole 3 and 4. We kept pace and finished in 2 hours and 20 mins not running in to another player.

Great Experience

My wife and I played in the afternoon, which is the best time to play in Palm Springs if you can accept the +30C degree temperature. We played in 3.5 hours, not rushing and had lunch ready for us at the turn (great burgers!!).

The course is in good condition. The greens were smooth.

I would play here again!

Last round in the desert

Played last round in the desert. Course was in great condition. Greens were smooth and fast. Fairways are wide. Course is forgiving and can be scored on. Lots of birdie holes.

No one to be found

Longest round of the year.

Very slow and no one other the starter who was on the 10th tee. Big Rock had some kind of concert going on that night and it was clear where their priorities laid.

Started us on the 10th tee, the restaraunt was closed to the public and after nearly 5 hours we had to quit after 14 holes.

Affordable Hot Deal but still not worth the hassle.

Don’t bother

Strange vibe. Pro shop was more like a cheesy Vegas bar than a golf shop. Staff was rude, play was slow. Guy on the range tossed his clubs, people playing from the wrong box. Not worth the money.
