About

Holes 18
Type Resort
Par 72
Length 6582 yards
Slope 118
Rating 70.4

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.

First Time Playing

Great time after a rough start.

Great, very fun course. Very well maintained. Only two gripes: 1. Checked in, hit a few balls, 5 mins til tee time and the starter then forces me and the other single I was paired with to pay extra to be single riders. Couldn’t pay after the round, had to do it before we teed off. Pretty frustrating way to start your day especially because it wasn’t mentioned in the pro shop. 2. Rakes are placed on your cart for you to take to bunkers and take them after you are done instead of having rakes at every bunker.

All and all I will 100% play again, it was just a pretty frustrating way to start my round.

Really nice course.

Course is not crowded duri g the week maybe do to heat. Couse well maintained and watered. Greens about 9 or 10 on stemp meter but roll very good. Fairways in great shape. Some narrow holes and some pretty wide open. Some really good par 3s long. Couple short ones too. All in all nice course in the mountains.

Excellent Condition and Interesting layout

Don't judge this course by the listed yardage. Yes, it is short, However, strategic placing of mounds, fairway traps, and trees, particularly groups of palm trees, require the player to pay attention. The greens are interesting due to undulations, unusual shaping, and differing sizes. The course is in excellent condition, lush throughout. Don't expect a lot of roll, at least not when the temperature tops 100, but you will have nice lies and the greens are true. My partner and I both thoroughly enjoyed our round.

Slow play, otherwise outstanding

It was a Sunday, so perhaps it's a lot better mid-week. Just very slow golfers in front of us, and unaware of etiquette. Otherwise the course layout is interesting, it's beautiful up there, and in excellent condition.

Nice Track

Played the back tees and it wasn't particularly long, less than 6700 yards. Very nice track, I'll play it again next time. Not much trouble on the course. The holes that do have water are mostly short, so not much trouble. Excellent staff and facility. Restaurant was also very nice and the food was great. Very nice "feel good" course.

Palm Springs Best!

Indian Canyon South is the best value per shot in the city. If this facility was in Phoenix it would be my weekly club and if were private I would absolutely be a member.

Do not pass this gem! Condition are perfect every time I have played. The staff makes you feel like you are at a high end private club and the course is one of the best shot for shot courses I have ever played.
