Type Resort

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.

Quality for the Price

I have now played this course 4 times and all 4 were off season. For $36 the course was in fantastic shape and it included a hot dog and a drink. I have recommended this course to several friends and they either had played it and agreed with me 100% or they made note of it with a plan to try the course next time they are in Palm Springs. It will always be one of my go to courses in Palm Springs.

Fun course

My husband and I Had a great time at this course. It is one we would love to play again. It has its challenges, but still forgiving enough to want us to come back.

Beautiful layout and scenery!

Great Round & Experience!

After playing to a tie with my opponent on the front nine, I was up two strokes after hole 15. Then on 16 he had a par and I had a snowman 8 and was now down 2 strokes. I won the 17th by one stroke and now I’m down one headed to hole 18 a par five. Well guess what happened, I had a par on 18 and he had a seven double bogey so I won the match by one stroke! Great day and a great match! We should gave been on ESPN! LOL

Challenging Course but Fair

Warm welcome from staff who I have to say were excellent throughout my visit. I got the impression that this was standard and not just because I was a visitor (from England)

Great playing partners (paired up by course team) which was really nice

This was the South Couse (the North Course was closed for reseeding) so a little busy but did not interfere with our round

In terms of the course wide fairways, challenging 2nd shots etc but also really good risk/rewards if you were brave enough!!

This was my first round for 4 months (due to finger injury) so a great course to get back into the swing of things (no pun intended!!)

All in All - Yes I would recommend this course for all grades of players

Perfect conditions and nice course

Nicely designed course, back 9 holes are a bit more challenging than front ones with more water in play. Greens were firm and fast (despite rain an evening before), staff very friendly - they managed to paired me up before my tee time (upon my request). A note: as many courses are over-seeding at time of the year, conditions here were just fantastic.

Best. Round. Ever.

We live in Naples, Florida and were visiting Palm Springs for the first time. We'd seen desert golf on television and it was a bucket list dream come true to finally experience it. Indian Canyons is the ultimate desert golf experience. We loved everything about this course. EVERYTHING! Perfect conditions, breathtaking scenery, friendly staff. I will remember Indian Canyons Golf Resort and the round of golf we played there for the rest of my life. Don't bother trying to find a better course. Just play the South course every day.
