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.

Nice conditions and good pace of play

At only 6,500 yards from the back tee’s, the south course is still challenging with plenty of protected greens and water on several holes. Pace of play was great at 4 hours and greens rolled true

Too expensive, and it's ridiculous to charge $7 for range balls.Not sure of any course charging for range balls and charging over $120 for green fees.

Most enjoyable course around

There are certainly harder courses out there, some that are even more meticulously maintained and more than a few that will cost you less. But dollar for dollar, stroke for stroke, view for view, there is no course out there that can match the beauty, value and pure enjoyment of this wonderful course. Top it off with a remarkable and friendly staff and this place is one you just cannot afford to miss. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous course in natural setting

Indian Canyons South is a beautiful course in a natural desert setting. The views of the mountains and of the Washington Skirted palms are fabulous. The course is in pristine condition. Golf carts work well. Staff is courteous and efficient. A wonderful golfing experience!

Fabulous Course Conditioning

Best maintained course of four I have played in the valley, so far, this golf trip. Excellent greens, fairways, rough and tees. Bunkers have lots of sand and are well raked. Very enjoyable round on a great golf course. Congratulations to all staff for providing such a great experience. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful Golf Course

This is my second or third time on the South Course at Indian Canyon. Every time I have found the people to be great and the course to be in excellent condition and beautiful. My tee time as set for about 7:30 AM and I was going out as a single. The others that I was supposed to join were no-shows, so they let me go out on my own rather than waiting for an hour for another opening. I played in about 2 1/2 hours and enjoyed every minute. The only thing I would change about this golf course is the speed of the greens. They were med-slow. But the overall condition was excellent and the scenery was beautiful. Highly recommended.
