About

Holes 18
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.

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!

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 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

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.
