About

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.

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.

Amazing course

Without a doubt my favorite course I’ve played so far in Palm Springs area. Staff was amazingly nice and helpful. Course was in great shape. Risk reward type course. Can’t wait to be back.

Great course!

I played this course and TPC Tournament this weekend and of the 2 - this was the course that had sand in the bunkers, had grass on the fairways that wasn’t burned out, had even tee boxes and had better views. It was also sixty bucks cheaper. And faster, we players 18 in 3 hours as opposed to a five hour slog around. Beat up course. While clearly not as challenging as TPCtournament course, it is the course that I will recommend and revisit when in Palm Springs.
