About

Type Resort
Par 72
Length 7038 yards
Slope 138
Rating 74.3

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.

Indian Wells Celebrity Course

I’ve played both celebrity and player course multiple times. They are very enjoyable for average golfers. The course was in excellent condition. The staff are friendly. The off course amenities are great. The only negative is the cost for a round of golf. It has gone up over five times the cost the first several years that I played the courses.

Beautiful, well maintained course

The condition of this course matches most private courses. Fun lay out. Beautiful fairways that are tough but fair. The greens are a true challenge. The staff was very nice and helped out. It was a great day of golf.
