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.

I enjoyed the course. It would be better if we didn’t have to walk so far. My wife and I are over 80 and found the extra walking a little strenuous .

We had a pleasant round but play was a little slow.

Had to hurry to finish before dark.

Did not golf

When we arrived at the course we were advised the the play was cart path and rough only..my spouse is handicapped and not able to walk that distance required to play.. it would have been helpful to know this in advance as we could have selected another course to play.

Did not golf

When we arrived at course we were advised that course was cart path and rough only. My spouse is handicapped and unable to walk long distances. Therefore we did not play.

It would have been helpful if we had known this in advance as we could have found another course play.

Fun course, but….

We love the course, but for the time being ask about where you can drive. It was cart path only or stay in the rough and it slows pace of play dramatically.

I would like to thank the shop and course superintendent for letting groups drive up to the edge of the fairways making the walk to the ball a lot easier than keeping the carts on the cart paths and having to walk that extra distance to our ball, thanks

Very good golf, super friendly staff, standard pricing for the area

First time here and the staff was very helpful and attentive. The course is well maintained and interesting layout as it winds its way between different housing neighborhoods, but not in a distracting manner. I Totally worth playing.
