Indian Canyons Golf Resort - South Course

Im going to start with this was my FIRST experience here. I showed up 6:30am for a 7am tee time to the South Course, waited at bag drop for 10 or so minutes and there was no staff around. I walked around to the ProShop and was told IMMEDIATELY by Perky, who isn't the most friendly person to be that first impression, that I needed to get my temp read. (Which I totally get.) But again who is supposed to read my temp? So I walked back to the bag drop where I found a staff member and told them I was arriving for my 7am tee time. Was INSTANTLY told that I didn’t have a tee time and to goto the North Course. At this point its 6:45. I packed my bag up drove to the North Course to be told “No your tee time is for the South.” The two Gentlemen behind the counter were super apologetic. I then had to reload up my bag for a second time. Rush over to the South, find the bag staff, tell them I do infact have a tee time with them. They find it, tell me that I have to goto the starters booth. No ones in the starters booth. Return to the ray of sunshine Perky, she points me to a guy and says thats the starter. I stop him before walking into the cart barn to ask about how they announce the tee times, he responds “Ill be at the starters booth to start you, but DO NOT start with out me.” I have tattoos and im not sure if this had anything to do with the attitudes of Perky and the starter, but I grew up on a golf course, hold a single digit handicap, am a member of a private club and they felt very unwelcoming. Its 7:13 at this point, I get “permission” to play, had a great time played alone. But course was great and greens rolled awesome.

Wide lush fairways

Large greens that can hold a shot

Unbeatable sceneries

Pick your T box to make it as challenging as you wish.

Course was in good shape. Enjoyed my round for the most part. Marshalls and starter were a little rough around the edges.

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.

Exceeded my expectations.

Great layout.

Manicured tee boxes.

Both fairways and rough are in super condition.

True greens.

Every hole provides a different challenge.

Absolutely beautiful.

Great course for 2 things...

1... feeling good about your game...

2... good course for your higher handicaps...

This course is a treat to play. It is always is outstanding condition. The staff is friendly and tee times are well paced to keep things moving. Finished our round in 4 hours.

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.
