About

Holes 18
Type Resort
Par 72
Length 6560 yards
Slope 124
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.

Great Value

Course is in great shape. There’s some dry spots which is to be expected for the desert. Cool design, challenging but not too difficult. A lot of sand, the average golfer is going to spend a lot of time on the beach. We were expecting the starter to be mean after reading previous comments, not the case at all. Everyone was extremely friendly and the starter was a gentleman was very friendly. Would highly recommend.

Friendly course with professional feel

Beautiful layout. Greens roll true but not too difficult. $50 in summer is a great value. COVID-19 won’t let course provide ice which is beyond stupid, but not the courses fault. I’ll definitely be back.

Grumpy starter

The course is nice the only negative is the grumpy old starter

If you do not like people don’t have a job where you talk to them.

He starts you off tense. He very Curt.

Nice course but there Re better in the area and less expensive. No need to put up with a grumpy guy who hates the world

Early Start makes the difference

3rd time playing here but first time at an early tee time. Given the 110 degree heat and humidity this weekend it was great to get out before 7am. Groups of 2 and 4 keep pace moving prettty well - had to wait on a few holes but got done before the big heat! Becoming one of our favorite courses in the desert - really good shape for this time of year (mid August).

Beautiful course

Hot & Humid.

Pace of play was good through the front 9, but slowed considerably on the back 9.

Greens keepers have omen toe fringes way too short, resulting in a dirt ring around almost every green.

Good Conditions, starter a little bitter

2nd time playing the south course. Pretty good conditions for the middle of summer. Layout is fair for all abilities. Price was fair for middle of summer AM weekend round.

I appreciate the course COVID restrictions, just happy to play. Although, when my colleague lowered his face covering to take a drink of his beverage while receiving instructions from the elderly starter on the 1st hole, he was scolded. Unfortunately, it was the overly aggressive tone that surprised our group. Just beware, CA Governor Newsom's mandate is strictly enforced.

Other than that, it was an enjoyable 1st round to start our day.

Nice Round; Friendly challenges

Plenty of bunkers, water creeps into play steadily. Easier holes on the front 9, but that’s just a warm up. The last 3 holes will require focused center fairway Shots. Nice warm up round for the several Palm Springs courses to fill your Days and weeks.

Always in good shape in the summer

Greens are smooth, fairways are green with minimal dry spots, and it's a fun course.
