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.

Great track, great value

We play this course ever year and always has given us a great day and value. Course was in great condition, scenery beautiful.

One complaint is that even though there were water jugs availed, ice in coolers melted quickly. Need more ice that is easily available.

Food excellent.

Beverage Cart Wanted

Would have preferred to see the beverage cart before hole number 10. Water stations were great, just needed something else.

Course conditions were great. Greens rolled with good speed and consistent throughout the course.

Staff was great and helpful. Thanks!

Wishing for the beverage cart…..

Only issue I had was the frequency of seeing the beverage cart. We teed off at 12 o’clock and didn’t see the cart until hole number 10. They did have water stations which was helpful, but I needed something else.

Course conditions were great! Green rolled good and speed was consistent throughout. Yes, I found the bunkers, several times and they had been well cared for. Staff was great and so was the beverage cart lady (when I saw her).

Good value and excellent condition

We have played this course at least once on every trip to the Palm Springs area over the last 10 years or so and it never disappoints. The course is always well manicured, scenic and has a certain calm feeling that comes with a 50 year history of solid course management. Even at $132, the course is a solid value, when compared to some of the resort courses here who charge $200 plus.

Beautiful, scenic with the mountain views

On the backside gusting winds came down off the mountains like nothing I’ve ever experienced challenging your stance. I finished the round because I wanted to play the final downwind holes after fighting into the upwind holes. Nothing like getting home on a par 5 in 2 shots with a drive and iron. Will play there again with milder conditions as this was a rare event.
