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.

Prettiest Course in the Desert

This is one of our favorite courses. We love when we find a deal here and this year we did for sure. Thanksgiving day for $25 on Golf Now. Cart path only but only took 4 hours 20 minutes and we had to wait on the front nine. You won't be disappointed just a great course in great shape.

Cart Path Only

We booked our tee time on GolfNow and did not see any warning that the course had just opened for the season and was “cart path only”. This makes a huge difference and should have been identified. We found it very frustrating having to walk back and forth across the fairways. We would not have booked this course if we had been made aware that it was being played as cart path only.

Still rough around the edges from overseeding

Enjoyed the day. Course played ok but had just opened four days ago and with cart path only was a tad expensive. Will be better in 10 days.

Poor timing

We played the course just as they opened after over seeding.The fairways and tee boxes were very lush and playable.

The Greens were somewhat furry and slow.

Most importantly, the course is just a lot of fun to play with a great layout. The staff is very hospitable and friendly. I am definitely going to play again before leaving the area.

Great fun...beautiful Vistas

Course was scheduled to close the next day for overseeding so it was scalped down. That would have been ok but we had unusual heavy Thunderstorms during the night. Still the course drained well since we were the second group out. What makes this course are the quick and hard to read greens.

We were 4 women and they encouraged us to play from the forward tees...twice. A lot of women (good players like ourselves) do not want to play from the forward tees at 4800 yards. Will golf courses ever get that they shouldn’t suggest tee boxes but rather tee suggestions based on handicaps for men and women should be on the scorecard....that’s how to speed up play for everyone.

Enjoyed the course, fair test fo for the everyday golfer from the right tees. Rental clubs are Taylor Made M2's so good value for the money. Course is in nice condition an came greens quick but rolled true.

Course was crowded mostly due to the many courses around being closed for over seeding. Waiting us usually only on tee blocks.

Nice course, greens a little spotty.

This course is one of the few still open in October. Most other courses in the area are over seeding for the winter. The course conditions here were pretty good but the greens were a little uneven. Overall, a nice playing experience.

Need a course marshall

We have always enjoyed Indian canyons, but the group in front of us was slow, loud and drunk. They were still yelling when they were taking the bags off the carts and we were on the 18th green. This kind of group shouldn't be allowed on any golf course. A Marshall should have made them keep up with the group ahead of them.

The course was in an immaculate condition. We played late in the afternoon and weren’t able to finish our round due to darkness. Staff were very helpful. We intend to return and play the course.
