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
Excellent all around
First time playing this course and will definitely be back. If you don’t mind the cost, you have to play this course.
One of the best in the Coachella Valley
6:30am Tee time
POP was about 4HRS
Course is always in immaculate condition, even in August when the weather gets to about 100 degrees at 10-11am .. Get out there early enough though and you should be okay. Greens were rolling true, fairways were pretty plush with some dark spots but not to bad. Overall for $75 I don't think you can beat the experience you're going to get at either of the Indian Wells courses.
I will definitely be back ASAP

6:30am Tee Time.
POP was about 4HRS
Course is always in great condition. Playing in August the heat can get pretty brutal, if I remember correctly it was about 100 degrees by 10am but if you get out there early enough you should be okay. For $75 you cant beat an experience like both Indian Wells courses.
I'll most definitely be back ASAP
Celebrity
Rode the Blues (6642/72.3/133) with GK Guru's Vince, Marvin and Gary early morning in slightly more than 4H. Fun group to play with! The weather was calm and sunny. Cold when we started a little late after a frost delay, but had warmed nicely into the 60's by the time we finished a little before noon. Thanks to John for setting up and to Indian Wells for having the guru group out.
Tees were lush with few divots. No challenges getting level lies.
Fairways were lush and provided excellent lies.
Rough was lush and not overly penal.
Sand traps were nicely maintained with good quality sand.
Greens were good, but not great. They looked quicker than they were. They putted medium slow early morning and were up to medium speed by the end of the round. Not as smooth as previous visits here. Firm and lots of unfixed ball marks.
Beautiful, tougher than average layout. Constantly up/down hills and the large green complexes are challenging. Fourteen par 4's with only two par 5's and two par 3's = par 72. Good mix of par 4's. This course would be a beast to walk as numerous holes are a long way from the last green.
Customer service was exceptional as always here. Complementary range balls on an all grass range is always a plus. Cart person around numerous times. Excellent GPS on the carts. Very nice course in overall excellent condition. Highly recommended.
Nice layout
Nice course overall. Very well kept except for bunkers. Seems most people didn’t rake even though one was provided on the cart. Greens are a bit on slow side as well. Good experience and will definitely go back, post COVID.
