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.

New favorite in the Palm Springs area!

Great course and even better value! The fairways, greens and tee boxes are all in great condition and the layout and views are spectacular! I've played several of the PGA West courses, the Marriott courses and others in the area and would have to say this is the winner when it comes to value! It's about HALF what those other premium courses charge. The staff was very friendly and welcoming as well. I highly recommend it.

Super fun and forgiving course!

We played the South Course. It was wonderful. Greens were in great shape. Rolled very well. The views are amazing. I would definitely recommend the south course to others.

Love this track but not worth $144 USD in that condition

Tee'd off at 6:45am behind 2 other singles. Perfect weather, pace was clearly awesome, starter was very friendly. I have played here before and was quite excited to come back after years away. Great layout, great scenery.

I found the course conditions to be average at BEST. Many places the grass was growing over the cart path edges, sand all over the cart paths in many places, downed palm fronds and other landscape garbage were frequent. Just felt very unkept. Pro shop gal could work on her customer service as well. Friendly is not a word I would use to describe her.

For this kind of price I expected it to be manicured like it has been in the past. I was disappointed to say the least. At MOST this is an $80USD golf course right now. Starter told me they are investing $500K into the North course to make it better. I hope they spend some of that money on the South side to freshen it up as well.

I will come back again I just hope it's in better shape next time. Certainly wouldn't pay more than $100 to play again.

Negative changes

We have played this course several times over the years. I actually love the layout and playability. I have actually referred to it as my “favorite” course.

The pricing was outrageous, especially given the fact that there was hardly anyone on the course. I understand that, since Covid, courses have raised their prices.

The other thing that was a “negative” surprise is that the only time we saw the snack cart was after we finished. We noticed it parked in the cart return area.

On our next trip into Palm Springs, we will have to find another “favorite” course.
