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.

Top of my favorites list in the desert
Consistent fair prices, great turf conditions, and a good layout make this a top choice. I will play here again tomorrow.
Fun ,Fair Course
Wife and I played for the first time , greens were firm and fast in great shape pace of play was four hours wide fairways fun course to play … will come back again forsure!
Best value in the east valley
This track is at the top of my favorites list in the Palm Springs area. We spend a couple of weeks in the desert every year and Big Rock consistently provides an ideal mix of playability, challenge, course conditions, all at affordable prices. This round was no exception to my previous experience. We will play here again later this week.
Fun Course
Green were is great shape fast and firm, course over all in good shape , teed off at 1pm and played in four hours, I would play this course again …
A favorite in the valley, but today the pace on the back was slow
I play Big Rock at least once every time I come to the Cochlea valley. It’s a great value with a good track with something for players across the handicap spectrum. The grounds were in very good condition, the greens were true. The only tweak I might suggest is they could adjust the irrigation to avoid over-watering the bunkers. I will return for another round in a few days.
Big Suck!
Beans are hard as a rock slippery fast zero friendly staff put a five some a big fat, ugly slow pope dudes out in front of us took three hours to play nine holes when I confronted the starter he destroyed his shoulders and told me to go play someplace else if I didn’t like it, I think I’ll take his advice from now on. The bar was nice, but the course sucks the people that run the course suck that’s why it’s called big suck
Hidden Gem
Stumbled onto Big Rock through GolfNow. Decided to take a chance because of timing. Glad I did. Course was in great shape and the greens were fantastic. Course was very playable for my wife who is new to the game but yet also fun for a low handicapper. Staff was super friendly and helpful. I would definitely play again.
Good playing conditions. Excellent staff.
Appreciated Theo and his help as starter. Guys in the pro shop also very nice. Cart guys too!
The single that wouldn’t play with the 3 some on satueday
The starter allowed this single guy to not join up with the 3 some in front or the my husband and myself. We were paired up with a golfing couple. Every hole this guy threw down extra balls, while his wife drove the cart and parked in the wrong places.
I called the pro-shop and they were indifferent to this. Everyone had to wait on every hole.
