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.

All about the conditions

Second time playing this course and was not disappointed. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Course conditions were excellent and the greens were fast and challenging. Only hiccup I accidentally hit a duck on the fairway. She was ok but I lost my groove at that point. Pace of play was good 4 1/2 hour round is a decent time I was also fortunate to play as a single. Great Mountain View’s and overall a very relaxing experience. I would definitely recommend. Peace

Slow play

Excellent pace thru 15. Waited on tee for 20 minutes because an older couple were very slow. I’m 75...so, slow is unacceptable. The lady was hitting three balls on every hole because, as she said, the pro shop said she could practice on the course. I pointed out that is why they have practice ares and she explained that the pro shop gave her approval. This is NUTS!!!

Had A great game

Great course. Always super friendly staff. Course was in excellent condition.

We were the last cart in and even though it started raining when we just Started on 18 we were able to finish and greater by the cart person. He was glad we were able to finish our game. He was very gracious even though it was Christmas Eve and I am sure he was cold too and wanted to be with his family we appreciated his help with the cart. The staff is wonderful!!! Thanks to the hiring person they always seem to get it right!

Great course, but dang those palm trees!

Played the courses for the first time in 7 years. Just as I recalled, it was beautiful and fun, with some challenges from water hazards and PALM TREES. Being in Indian Canyon means a lot of thick, untrimmed palms to get in your way when you stray from the fairway. These aren't the super-tall thin palms—these are shorter, much, much bushier, and virtually impossible to penetrate. I found myself in jail a couple of times.

Overall the course was in great condition—the fairways nice and trimmed, the greens true, rollable, and readable. And the traps were very well maintained.

I would not that the white tees play very short (under (6,000 yards). If you're a decent driver, your game will be almost all driver wedge here. Going with the Teal tees will mix your day up a bit more. If you do, be warned that some of the fairways feel a bit narrow, so make sure your middle irons are on point!
