About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 6794 yards
Slope 127
Rating 72.0

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.

Fun & Affordable

Great place to play especially for budget conscious in peak Coachella Valley golf season. Staff are always very friendly. Bar/food is wonderful and welcoming with great view of 18th from deck. Pro shop well stocked. Only downside (to me) is range proximity. Course in solid shape but would like more sand in bunkers. VERY firm despite dry conditions that would support soft sand.

Nice find in the area

Booked this based off reviews and it was a very good course. The layout is interesting and a bit confusing going between the 4 sides of the intersection. However, once in the right quadrant, great golf. Very good conditions, and lots of challenges to keep even low handicappers interested (and not impossible for us higher handicappers!)

Early Morning Round

My son and I played a quick round before our flight out of town, and we picked a great spot. We teed off at 7:07 and we were done in three hours. The staff was greatt. The fairways and greens were perfect,!

Rock and Roll fun Track

Went out as a single day after Christmas so possibly not fair to say the pace of play was excellent when no one was in front of me

Fair place for a hack and probably more challenging when the greens heat up

Had a good time

Staff is great

Wish I didn’t get there too early to grab a bite looks like a fun bar restaurant with of course the Rock and Roll theme

Excellent for my level of golf

This is perfect for my personal level of golf, which is ok for an old guy. But far from good. I found the course excellent for my level. My son in law who is an excellent golfer enjoyed the course, but was not overly challenged

a good day

The staff was wonderful, we were met with a cart in the parking lot. The staff inside sent us out early because wind was forecast.

the Couse played fast; it made for an enjoyable day. The course was in good shape.

The only negative the portapoty's where nasty.

Hidden Gem

Despite the fact that this course winds it way through differing neighborhood's and even across a major street, it is very playable and a good value for the money. The fairways, bunkers and greens were in great shape.

Great shape and patio restaurant

We played in 4 1/2hours on a Sunday morning. Back nine was much slower as front nine we played in under 2. Restaurant service was great, not slow, food came out quickly and hot. Course was in great shape and fun to play
