Indian Wells Golf Resort - Celebrity Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Indian Well Golf Resort boasts two championship courses that have been ranked in the top 20 golf courses in California. The Celebrity Course was first to open in 2006 and it was joined a year later by the Players Course. The Celebrity Course offers stunning mountain views from start to finish. It has been the two-time host to the PGA Tour's Skins Game. Water is a prominent feature of the scenic landscape with streams, brooks, and split-level lakes connected by cascading waterfalls. The lush, undulating fairways contrast beautifully with the colorful flowers and sparkling blue waters. Both the greens and fairways are kept in immaculate condition. In addition to the golf course, Indian Wells also offers a practice area with a putting and chipping green and practice bunkers.

Hole #12 I believe. Photo submitted by Trailerteri on 04/03/2013
Great first time
Was first group off as a foursome, played in 3.5 hours. Course was in excellent condition, considering the harsh summers here. Greens were a little slow, but thats to be expected this time of year. Very nice and welcoming staff. This place does it right.
Greens were sanded the night before
Was disappointed that we payed full price for a course that had the greens sanded the evening before our Tee time! The greens were freshly punched and sanded and we were not given notice to these conditions s. If we would have known, we would have booked another course as the price we payed did not reflect the condition of the course.
Awesome track
We honored Juneteenth by playing the
Indian Wells Celebrity course, for our first time. (Back home in Seattle they were protesting CHOP being excluded from the city Comprehensive Land Use Plan.) 🤣😂 An absolute gem. From the minute we arrived, the staff went out of their way to make sure we were welcomed and felt special. Damian, our starter, was ALL WORLD!! We would highly recommend the Celebrity course to anyone looking for a phenomenal golf course!!! ⛳️⛳️👏👏🏜️
Must play course in Indian Wells
Course is legendary & beautiful. Must play. Right now, greens were not in good condition, but usually top notch. Staff is great & clubhouse amenities are superior. Ate in the restaurant and would highly recommend it whether you play golf or not.
Great course, punched greens
Course is beautiful and would love to play in when the greens weren’t punched the day before. There was no notification of this and they charged full price.
good layout
well designed course and excellent facilities - the only sight negative is speed of play, but we were unlucky to get caught behind 4 guys who should find another sport because they have no hope of breaking 100 at golf. Drones should be employed to fly the course and do a better job of keeping the field moving.
Beautiful course and great conditions
I played the celebrity course. The conditions were great. The greens ran true. The fairways were immaculate. The tee boxes were great. The scenery was beautiful. A little pricey, but a great round.
Extremely slow
It took us 2.5+ hours to play 9 holes. At hole #12, there were 3 tee times stacked up on the tee box. If we didn’t have people dropping out ahead of us and also with our group, it would have taken us 6+ hours.
Apparently a wedding party had the first 4 tee times and slowed down the entire day. No one tried to get them to speed up play. So they just take our money ($260/person) and subject us to a free for all. Don’t play here!
Beautiful course in great shape!
This may be the most impressive course in the C. Valley. Expensive, yes. But it's worth it, at least for one round.
Very Impressive!
This may be the most beautiful course in the Coachella Valley. Well designed and elegant. The driving range was off mats, though each stall is organized like a TopGolf module, with couches and a video ball tracker. Pretty cool, though I'd rather hit off grass. Overall, the round was expensive but worth it.
First time
beautiful course. Excellent practice range. Top rate merchandise in the pro shop!!!!
