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.

Great, Fun Course

Great fun course. Good condition, the pace of play was great, and while it was challenging it wasn't too over the top difficult as some courses in the area are.

Great conditions and good value.

Played first of the tee and solo and finished in 2 hours. Course in great shape especially for $79 compared to some surrounding courses that are over $100 to play. Fairways and greens are in great shape and will definitely play again.

Great course but pace of play and waiting on every hole is NOT fun

For the amount of money we payed waiting on every hole made zero sense! Good lay out, but not sure worth the money.

Very playable

Good layout, fun to play. On vaca from Washington so seeing the ball run out this time of year is a treat for me.

The greens were firm and pretty good speed. Challenging par 3's and some

reachable per 5's if you want to risk the over water shot. The blue tees have plenty of yardage but i think it's more enjoyable from the white tees for most of us.
