Type Resort
Par 72
Length 6582 yards
Slope 118
Rating 70.4

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.

Fun course with a mix of everything

Staff was great from the moment we pulled up to the bag drop area. We had four foursomes going out and they had already brought out all the rental clubs we would need for our large group. Always a good sign when the course has seed in their divot filler bottles and it shows with this course, the fairways were in great condition!! The layout is fun with challenging shots to make you think a little off the tee. We had a lot of fun playing here, if the cost is in a good spot for you then I would highly recommend it!!

Great day at Indian Canyon - South Course

I arrived for an early tee time and the staff was welcoming and helpful for my first time playing the course. The starter was helpful with tips for the day and the pace of play as the second group off was excellent. The course was in great shape and the layout was challenging yet very playable. We Finished in 3 and a half hours so headed into the clubhouse for breakfast. The egg white omelette and fruit plate was amazing and the staff super friendly.

Course was in great shape overall. Only thing is greens were slow. If speed was increased that would have made overall rating excellent

Not your usual desert course.

The redesign made this course pretty tough. Whichever tee you play. You can easily find yourself in a fairway trap, amongst one of the many mature trees, with some funky lie in the long grass, water hazard, or desert wasteland. Tee shot is at a premium on this course.

Three par 3's on the front 9. Kinda unheard of nowadays. Hopefully you can get some good scores on them because the par 5's on this course are difficult. And the well placed hazards on the par 4's can seriously put a damper on your round.

Greens don't break as much as they seem. With the exception of the tiered greens.

Indian Canyon South

Palm Springs has a lot of nice courses but not much is nicer in this price range. Greens were resort casual (slowish) but smooth and consistent. Rough was not punitive but clean. Pace was great.
