About

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.

The price is Right

Three of us golf for $25 each including cart. It was a steel of a deal. I thought they’re gonna arrest me. Throw me in jail cause it was so cheap like I was stealing.

Always consistent

As usual this course always plays great from consistent greens to well manicured fairways, they just recently punched the greens and one would barely notice it. I’ve been playing this course for the pass 3 years and never had a complaint about anything. Shout out to the cart guys too, they are the friendliest, keep it up .. 👍🏼

Nice day of it
