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.

Big Rock @ Indian Springs
Rode the Blues (6197/69.9/122) twilight as a single. Less than 2.5H POP, the course was not busy. Sunny and breezy around 95.
Fun to play layout in good condition with 18 solid holes of golf. Good mixture of holes with few forced carries. Often one of the better values in the greater Palm Springs area.
Tees mostly lush, level and decently maintained for divots.
Fairways lush and good to play from.
Rough a mixture of grasses with decent coverage mowed low. Even though not much taller, noticeably different lies from barely in the fairway to barely in the rough.
Sand traps decently maintained and freshly raked. Some could use more sand.
Large greens putted smooth and medium fast. Firm, no one is consistently backing up balls on these greens. Few ball marks because of their firmness.
Customer service excellent from everyone encountered. Upgraded carts equipped with Shark Experience GPS. No on course drink cart here, but they provide a full ice chest and drink cups. Recommended.

Rode the Blacks (6642/71.9/127) on a GN Hot Deal mid day as a single. 2.5H POP, only saw a couple of other 2somes. Sunny and calm around 95.
Tees were lush, level and well maintained with few divots.
Fairways were lush and nice to play from.
Rough is a thinner mixture of grasses with decent coverage. Not tall but can be penal because the lies will vary so much.
Sand traps were decently maintained, a few could use more sand. They have rakes again.
Greens were smooth and putted medium fast. Firm, so even well struck irons would release. Few ball marks because of their firmness.
Fairly wide open course with a good mixture of holes. Few forced carries other than several holes with lakes. This would be a challenging course to walk because numerous tees are a hike from the last green because the course is split up between multiple different residential complexes. All grass driving range is in the wash beside hole 9, where they also have a practice chipping green. Could use more water stations on the course, but they provide a stocked ice chest.
The customer service is always excellent from everyone encountered. Upgraded carts equipped with Shark Experience GPS. Joe with the carts is always great, and the Pro Shop check in was friendly and efficient. I was running late, called ahead and was advised no problem. Rarely an on course drink cart here. Nice layout in good condition with 18 solid holes of golf. IMO, one of the better values in the greater Palm Springs area. Recommended.
Great Condition
Had a great time
We’ve played this course before.
The pace of play was not good.
Nice Course
Good value course in nice shape. We ran into 30 mph winds but very nice course
Great Course
Greens in great shape and course is very playable. Enjoyed it much more than some of the higher prices courses.
Love this course.
We will be back next year and play here often. Pace was a bit slow but we love the course layout.
We had an amazing round of golf!
Some buddies and I tried Big Rock for the first time and had a perfect day. The course is in great shape, especially the greens. Staff was awesome from the minute we drove in the parking lot to when we left. Amy the Cart Girl was amazing and efficient as she came by 4 different times in our round. Beers on the upper deck watching the 18th green was a great way to end the round and day! We will definitely be back!
Very Nice Couree
The course has a lot of open fairways and was in very good condition. Greens were good. We had a problem with 30+ winds but that was not any fault of the course
Very nice course.
The Big Rock is a very nice course. I really enjoy playing it.
Family Fun
Great course to play with the family. Enjoyable for all levels of golfers. Not to hard not to easy based on the tees selections.
Big Rick
Great rock snd roll memorabilia. Would love to play there post COVID and listen to great music!
