Indian Canyons Golf Resort - North Course

Greens were fast and nice. The rest of the course needed attention. The fairways were long!

First time playing Indian Canyons and I’d have to say I’m thankful I had a hot deal time to get the price down. The normal tee time price was 2x what my girlfriend and I paid, and that definitely reflected the conditions. The cart path was dirt/mud and overall the layout of the North course is straight, flat, and very forgiving. The overall experience was positive though and the fairways in particular were in great condition. I can imagine the South course is where you get a better deal, and will likely try to play there instead next time.

My friend invited me to play this course and I didn't know what to expect coming from Seattle. I've been to dozens of gold courses in my life and this course has the nicest, friendliest people I've come across. John Murphy helped us out a ton and even got us out early, Huge fan of him, very kind man. I normally don't bother writing reviews, but this one really stood out. Here's why:

I left my watch in the cupholder of my golf cart and not 5 seconds after I gave them my cart, one of the service men came out and handed it to me just as we were driving off. I didn't even realize it was gone! He could've taken it and I wouldn't have noticed until it was already too late!! I appreciated the honesty, not many people would do that. (I didn't catch his name as we were both rushing, had blonde hair, larger man (?)

If you get the pleasure of playing this course, you will enjoy it and the workers there. I took the time to write this review in hopes of giving the guys a pat on the back. Nothing but respect from each and every one of them, especially John.

My only gripe with the course are the greens. Water the grass guys!! haha

Not as challenging as Indian Canyon South. Still a fun course with variety.

Great setting with views of the mountains surrounding Palm Springs. The course conditions were good overall with a few bare spots on the fairways. The greens were tricky but the speed was consistent. The facility is older but in decent shape. I’d be interested to try the south course which is a more recent design. I would play here again.

Greens were in great shape. Fairways are getting better after over seeding. Tee boxes are nice. Blue tees will test your skills.

Tried to book two 4-somes, booked 1 and their computer system wouldn’t let me book the second. After a half dozen attempts, I called GolfNow, and even they were getting booted from Indian Canyon’s system. What should have been a 3-minute reservation turned into a 3-day marathon. Once at the course, it was lovely. Course in great shape, wide fairways for our diverse group. Groomed beautifully, neat mid-century modern homes line the fairways, but are out of play, for most golfers. Little to no service to speak of due to COVID. Beautiful Mountain views.

Had great time playing with the family in less than 4 hours.

Long course. Great shape. Trickier putting than other desert courses.
