Rating 71.4

Nestled at the base of the San Jacinto Mountains, Indian Canyons Golf Resort offers two championship courses with stunning views. The two golf courses, North and South, have completely different layouts but they are both sheltered from the wind thanks to the surrounding mountains. The South Course is the shorter of the two, making it the more player-friendly course. That is not to say it is not a challenge though. The rolling fairways are framed by contoured mounding and four expansive lakes come into play on six holes. The par 5s are particularly memorable. There are also well over 1,300 palm trees throughout the golf course, which includes hundreds of Washingtonia filifera palms. These trees are native to the Agua Caliente Tribe and an important part of their history.

Slow greens

A nice course but the greens are super slow you have to whack your putter. So it made it less pleasant. I don’t mind cart path only and pace of play was decent.

Slow play

We played this course on Wednesday in 3 hrs 25 mins. On Friday there was a foursome to group ahead that was at least 3 holes behind. We had to wait on every hole to tee off and hit 2nd shots. Took us over 5 hrs to finish the round.

Beautiful course

This is a great golf course. It has recently opened free over seeding, so it is cart path only. This makes for a slower round, but it is still worth playing. The greens are slow, due to the over seeding as well. Overall, it is a great course with a nice layout, some forgiving holes and some challenging holes. I'm really glad I played here .

Pace of play very slow and no Marshall

Very disappointing, have played the course consistently for 15 years and management has deteriorated. Shared feedback on pace of play and no one was really that concerned with a 4:45 round.

Love this beautiful course

Haven't played here since last season, but only because I wasn't here. Such a beautiful place. Reseeding currently restricted carts to the path, but that should be ovrr soon. I look forward to playing here again very soon.

Course was in excellent condition. Pace of play was fantastic. My only complaint is the greens were slow. Otherwise a very solid track with a lot of great views.

If it’s cart path only, go somewhere else

We were told it would be cart path only after booking the tee time. Although the reason given was “wet conditions,” there were no wet conditions evident on the course. The fairways are generous and wide, but on a cart path only day, that turned a round of golf on a beautiful, well-designed course into a 4+ hour slog. To add insult to injury, the “player assistant” hovered around the whole time urging us to play faster even though we were waiting most of the day on the group ahead of us and the group behind us was never made to wait. So I’d recommend that this beautiful course is not the best play on a cart path only day. Save your $125 for a better day.

Great condition, nice staff, super fast pace of play.

Got paired with three random people but they were super. Everything is out in front of you and generous landing areas. Got off early and played in just under 3 hours. Would play again for sure.

Great track

They are due to over seed soon. The greens were a little beat up, some bare spots but nothing to really ruin anything. They still rolled fast and fair. Fairways were pretty fast too. I look forward to the next time I’m in Palm Springs playing here again.
