Indian Springs Golf Club

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.

Very pleasant round
Loved the pace of play- finished in just over 3.5 hours
Nice fairways and sand.
Fair greens, but a bit brown
Got us off early.
Thank you!
Fun course to play in the desert
First time playing, not as manicured as pictured but was still a good time!
Fun challenging course, great deal for the price
Pleasant atmosphere great staff, course always in good shape! Food is excellent !
nice course. allows good scores.
Hard Rock of golf courses i guess. only have played here in the summer. so its not too busy. although a couple of local high school girls teams were here on this day.
this course has a nice layout. not too much of a penalty in the rough. you can still get good contact on the ball. there's water on the right on many holes. on 9 i go down 1's fairway since no one is around. otherwise pretty straightforward course.
the cart barn guys wait for you off of the 18th green. and when you go to the green. they go to your cart to clean your clubs. only place i've played in my life that has done this. so don't be disturbed when you see them walk to your cart. guys in the shop can learn what the "hold" button is on the phone.
Hidden gem
The course is well-maintained, beautiful layout, bunkers are immaculate and friendly staff. Excellent price.
Great round of golf
Always a good round of golf, every one is nice there. Would recommend it.$
Frustrating round
1. Spent a large portion of the round dodging the fairway watering system, at one stage unsuccessful (the cart and everything in it got soaked)
2. Bathrooms locked
3. drinking water fountains broken and not working (temp over 100)
Disappointed
I vacation with family every year in Palm Springs and always play a round at “ The Rock “ for the last 6 years . And I always looked forward to playing the course but this year it was not the same as what I experienced in past years . Now I understand it’s important certain times of the year a golf course requires annual maintenance like aerating the greens and punching the fairways . But I was surprised at the general condition of the course .
Especially the fairways . A lot of rough patches throughout which I never saw in past years . Maybe it’s due to the hot summer weather but the greens were very good and putts rolled true . But I will not give up on the course as I will give it another try on my next visit to Palm Springs . As always the staff is very friendly and the restaurant is very good to stop for something to eat after the round .
Great staff
This place has incredible staff. Always friendly and looking to make your round better. I always come herr when I’m in town.
Big Rock Shock
Nice course but didn't find it particularly challenging. Course in good shape for the time for the year. Was very hot out there. Would have been good to have some bottled waters but was enough water to get through. Course layout was fun.Thought the last hole was a bit lame for an 18th hole. Highlight was the clubhouse bar which is OUTSTANDING. Some great music memorabilia in there (see pics)
Nice easy course
Good condition, some areas were heavily watered because of the heat, so had a few plugged balls. Pace of play was excellent.
Lots of street crossings
Look, I thought it was ok. The people were really nice but the layout wasn’t great, you are constantly crossing streets and sometimes major ones. I had to hit the crossing signal once. A few holes on one side of the street a few on the other.
It’s not my vibe, maybe for some, but I preferred other options.
Average but overpriced
Course was fine but the $75 for this place in the middle of summer is way overpriced. Greens were a little thin and it looked like the areas just off the fairways were recently punched. Lots of muddy spots too from over watering during the day. Had that muni, goat ranch vibe.
Played Trilogy down the street a couple days before for $50 and the course was in much better condition.
