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 course we always play when there.

We love this course and always play it when in the desert.

Unfortunately this time the greens needed some work (Dry and dead ) around the fringes on all of them.

Played on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings and pace of play was slow with no marshals except for starter. Afternoon re- play was great pace since it was 109 deg :) No replay discount was given.

Restaurant is closed (COVID) so we had to leave the course between replays.

Usually always give this course full 5 stars, but because of the greens, the pace of play, closed restaurant, also no replay discount best i can do is a 4. The team there is always top notch though!

Will play again as I know they will get it together after reseeding.

Awesome fun

Really liked this course. Fairways quite often had a bowl shape that made playing the sides fun. Fairways were also wide enough to keep out of extreme trouble, and it was nice to see palm trees in their natural foliage. Not a ton of water on the front nine, but a bit on the back although caution will help you navigate the water.

Greens were large, and had enough undulation to make it interesting to read.

It’s a mature course, but it was really cool to know That you are walking the same fairways thatSinatra, Martin, Hope and Eisenhower played.

Loved this course and I will be back.

Good value

My wife and I enjoy playing here for a change of pace. Some of the tee boxes could use some help, but other than that the course is in good condition for the time of year. Greens ran true. Pace was excellent as a foursome we finished in about four hours. Interesting that they would not provide ice, but gave us bottles of water and had a beverage cart? We definitely will return.

Scenic course with good variety & early morning shade

Nestled in the canyon with a nice layout the course has enough to challenge most players without overwhelming high handicappers.

Great course for average players

Outstanding golf experience from beginning to end. Friendly greeting upon arrival and delightful staff assisting after we finished play.

It was the first time my buddy and I played this loop. We were impressed by the layout, maintenance and vistas. Only took three and a half hours for 18. There was an attentive lady working the beverage cart. Will we play there again? Next time we’re in Palm , you bet!

IC South

Rode the Blacks (6560/71.1/123) in 2H, 40M as a single mid day on a GN "Hot Deal". 108, hazy and fairly calm.

The layout features mostly generous fairways with a decent amount of large water hazards to navigate over on select approach shots. One double green, and numerous greens have runoff areas mowed down like a links style course, while others have deep rough just off the green.

Bermuda tees were good in the areas they made the markers. Many had brown/dead spots that they were staying away from.

Bermuda fairways were lush and nice to play from.

Bermuda rough was semi lush and mostly mowed down, good POP rough.

Sand traps were decently maintained for COVID. Good quality fine sand the ones I was in.

Bermuda greens were firm and putted medium speed. The middle 95% of the greens were good, many of the outer edges had scalped/bare spots.

Good customer service, they got me out ahead of my tee time. Drink cart out making the rounds. No water available on the course and pro shop closed to the public, all check in done outside. All grass range closed today. Redesigned by Amy Alcott/Casey O'Callaghan in 2004, the South is shorter and a more picturesque layout that it's sister North course. This would be a challenging layout to walk, the hole 13-16 loop goes away from the rest of the course. Fun layout to play, recommended.
