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.

Over 5 hours

The course layout and conditions were fine but it was the slowest most frustrating round of golf in my life. The starter was very rude right out of the gate . Let a threesome tee off and then the fourth member tee off just when we were ready to go. Had to wait an extra 15 minutes on the first tee. when we got to the 3 re hole par 3 , there were four groips back up and the ranger came over and said well that’s just the way it is. Are you kidding me !! The round was over 5 hours and I would never go back there again. They try to compare themselves to desert willow. Not even close. I play 185 / to 200! Rounds a year and this was easily my worst gold experience ever.

Lush fairways, fast green, friendliest staff around

From first dropping my bag, to breakfast to departure, wonderful staff. Course is lush, beautifully maintained with fast greens and fun but challenging holes. One of my best golfing experiences in Palm Springs since we started coming here 10 years ago.

Great Walking Round!

This course is awesome. Wish I would have found it sooner. Worth the 50 min drive from Redlands. I walk any chance that I can. It is tough to find a course to n great shape in the Coachella Valley that allows walking. I was pumped to find this gem. Aside from the walk between 14 to 15 and 15 to 16 this track is great for walking, I will definitely be back.

Greens were in great condition

Only negative comment would be letting 2 players at the time release behind our foursome, we were constantly being pressured, and we played fast. Double up or space them out. Otherwise we love it.
