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.

Sunrise at Indian Canyons South course Photo submitted by chibbey on 10/04/2012
Beautiful, very very friendly staff
The time was very enjoyable from getting out of our cars getting our clubs on the carts the starter cart girl the marshals and inside at the restaurant waiter and waitresses were fabulous. Highly recommend this golf course for anyone.
One of my favorites.
This is a nice course with all the challenge you want. The conditions were very good and the weather was perfect.
It is a bit pricey or I would play it more often.
Can’t Miss
You can’t miss with this course. Be sure to reserve the South Course. Great conditions and layout - with some of the best food around. Come early or stay late to enjoy both the golf and cuisine!

Great for double digits
I’m an 18 handicap. Played the white tees. Might play the blues next time. But will play it again.
Best public course to play in Palm Springs
Indian Canyons South is simply beautiful! A must play when in Palm Springs.
Nice course
First of all we had lunch before we teed off and the food and service was excellent. Course was in great shape. Nicely marked fairways but my expectation when I’m paying this price is to have G PS on the carts.
Very Nice Palm Springs Track
My group enjoyed Indian Canyons. Range was good, practice area was good, and all of the staff were very, very nice. In fact, the restaurant had our food delivered to the course as my group was running behind when we ordered. Thank you!!! Course is a solid track. It was our first course to play during a 4 day buddies golf trip and Indian Canyons did not disappoint. We'd definitely come back.
Nice course, cranky starter
Nice course, cranky starter. No one needs a cranky start to the day. Go somewhere else where the starter is nice
Course was in good shape
Pace of play was good. Course was in good shape. Price was high for what we expected. Clubhouse after was so busy we just left after round. Normally always have a beer and lunch.
Course was nice..marshall not so much
We have golfed at many courses and this is the first course where we have ever been lectured by a marshall. We were a 4some following a 2some. When we started our round the group ahead of us was out of sight already. We were golfing with another couple whom we did not know. We also are very cognizant of what is happening behind us and make sure we are not holding people up.
We were surprised when the marshall told us that we should perhaps play best ball to pick up the pace and close the gap with the players ahead of us. She was quite condescending and. The folks we were playing with had golfed here before and said they got the same treatment during their orevious round. We completed our round in 4 hours, so this overzealous marshalling was not required
Expensive, but great !
A little confusion from the starter before the round, but always a great course, superb condition, challenging but fair, and absolutely great scenery !
Pace of play
We were coupled with a man and wife who were poor players, so took a little longer on each hole. The course Marshal kept telling to pick it up, we were a hole behind. In truth we were only about half a whole behind. We actually had to wait on the group in front of us on the last two holes. I have really enjoyed the course in the past, but with the increase in G/F's , and being pushed, it took the enjoyment out the round.
