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.

This course has the most friendliest staff from the pro shop to the guys working the carts and that’s a huge game changer with me.. this course some o

This course is a nice and spread out design. Not a a lot of fairways bunched up together.. some of the best greens around but don’t tell anybody. Definitely coming back..

Decent value

Exceptional greens. Good value. They had outside tree trimming service on front 9 which caused some obstructions, but otherwise it was desert golf at it’s finest even with a day of windy conditions. Would like to play again on a day with less wind.

If you pay full price its a bit pricey. However, if you can find a deal its not bad.
