Indian Canyons Golf Resort - South Course
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.

Golfer Reviews
Great course
We played the south course, it is hard to lose a ball except in water and a few quite short par 3s but overall excellent place for mid handicap golfer with several holes that really make you think.
We liked the 16th in particular and the 18th is a tough finish but a birdie opportunity too.
The views of the mountains is impressive with horse riders passing by and lots of birds and ducks to make it feel natural.
The greens and bunkers were great and overall st $59 a player it was great value.
Beautiful Day
Great course and a beautiful day to golf. My first time out was excellent and the staff were all very friendly. I’ll definitely be back again!
Excellent course
One of best courses in Pam Springs area for the price. Only minor complaint is that greens were on the slow side. Otherwise condition of course was 5 stars.
Better each year
New sand in formerly brick hard bunkers, smooth true greens and very good condition after reseeding. The shape of this course has been improving for some time now.
Lovely course
Lovely course in very good shape. Not difficult business well placed bunkers can catch long errant shots. A few blind shots into greens. Most enjoyable
A Palm Springs Favouite
ICS is truly a gem of a golf course. Easily one of the very best in Palm Springs and perhaps in all of the Coachella Valley
The scenery is beyond amazing and the total golf experience is beyond reproach.
Our go to course
We come to the desert annually for a couple weeks to play golf. Indian Canyon South is one of our "go to" courses. We love the layout, condition, and the surroundings. The staff is always friendly and helpful. And besides that, we had breakfast beforehand in the grill and it was delicious!
Excellent course and conditions
Would highly recommend the course. Friendly staff, no delays with carts or tee times. Beautiful scenery. Great place to be golfing.
Nice Track, a little overpriced
I’ve played this course a half dozen times and enjoyed it every time. The conditions are always good and the layout is interesting. The $125 rate is a little steep so I only play if I can find a rate around $75. Don’t mistake the. Orthodox and South as the Aouth is far superior.
Beautiful course
Well maintained course. Can be challenging with a number of bunkers strategically placed around most of the greens and fairways. Last day of cart path only so had extra walking to do with the hope you had brought the right club. Recommend it to all levels of golfer.
Always a good experience
As usual, Indian Canyons South did not disappoint. The only downside was that some of the greens were not in great shape (still heeling from reseeding, we thought). We all agreed that when course is cart-path only due to reseeding and greens aren't 100% it would be good practice to consider reducing the standard green fee.
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.
Wowzers
Near perfect course conditions, excellent friendliness and helpfulness of staff, great pace of play (appreciate the marshals), and the course layout was sublime.
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.
