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.

Not good value

The course is a decent course, but it is away over priced in comparison to other similar courses.

Glad to be back.

We haven’t played this course in a few years and I don’t remember why we stopped. A little apprehensive when I booked it but at the end of the day I’m glad we did. Great day, great conditions, nice friendly staff and they have a Rockstar Pub.

We will be back.

One of a kind

I have played this course every year since I have been coming to the Valley (8 years). The B.C. owner has transformed this place in to much more than a great place to play golf. I played on a Sunday where there was a car show. They have an alternate green on 18 to make it a par 4 rather than a par 5 so they can display the cars around the green. The place was packed and when you finish 18 you get to drive through all the beautiful cars. I know it’s not for everyone but I remember a few years ago there might be a handful of people at 2:00 on Sunday having a burger but this day the patio was packed and the music was rocking. Very cool.

good course for developing your game

The course provides a nice setting to play all of your shots without a great deal of stress. It is also a good course for beginners/novices. Fairways are wide. There are some well placed bunkers and water to provide some challenge on approach to the green. Greens mostly roll true.

Really enjoyable round

The course is routed through a subdivision, but the houses are spaced well back and dont really factor very much. The fairways are pretty wide. Water hazards on a few holes. Greens are in very good condition and have quite a bit of contour. Perhaps still a bit slow but they do roll predictably and consistently. I had a really good round, which usually leaves you with a favourable impression. I am looking forward to playing here again.

Quick and fun

Twosome Played in under 3 hours midday on a Sunday. That was the best part. Course plays pretty easy. And although fairways still need to fill in the greens were pretty good. A bit tight to houses on a couple homes but all in all a fun round.
