Indian Wells Golf Resort - Celebrity Course
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
Tee times to close together....
Really love this layout course is amazing... tee times way to close and the cart guys asking for tips at the end is a little to much....
greens were great!
played in under 4 hours, tee time was 6:50am.
Greens were faster than I expected, You need to be aware of the grain when putting here, balls rolled true and the fairways were also in great. If you're looking for good golf with good greens during the summer or whenever, come here. I might even come back tomorrow
From the moment I walked on the property, I was greeted and treated well by all.
Nice course
We played the Celebrity Course. It is mid July with COVID-19. So! The season is winding down and all the amenities were closed so all we got to experience was the course. I know it’s a five star resort for sure. I was just expecting more. The layout was good and challenging. The greens were starting to dry out. It was 115 that day but we teed off at 6:30 so we were done early. The maintenance of the course was down because they’re trying to save on expenses since all hotels and restaurants are closed here in Ca. I wish I could have experienced the true Indian Wells experience. But considering the pandemic we really enjoyed the challenge of the course. Play this course if you get the chance!!!!
Palm Springs in July
I booked a tee time for a Sunday morning at 6:50 and by the time we finished four hours later, the temperature was over 110. The course was in gorgeous condition. For $85 this was a great value.
Great course with spectacular views
Excellent course, played from the tips and was challenging without being too difficult.
Course in good condition and greens ran well if not a little slow.
Looking forward to the Players course in the future.
Par for the course
This course was in excellent condition, fairways were awesome, greens seemed a tad slow, but loved it anyways.
Summer Saturday Golf.
We got paired with 2 local gentlemen which were lots of fun. Course was in great condition, pace was 3.5 hrs for 18 on a weekend. NOT BAD. Carts were new, modern and up to date. During these COVID times it was a treat. Thanks to the staff and management for doing a great job.
Great, shape, pace and challenge
Great day, hot but plenty of water on course and full of challenges!
Good Value in the Desert
Good value, amenities limited due to Corona, Course was in decent shape for early summer.. Layout is OK, I prefer some of the other daily fee courses in the valley.
Great day at Indian Wells
Played IW Celebrity for the first time today, with Covid still happening (facemasks required). Course was in great shape, pace of play was good, and the sun was shining. It’s a tight but well-designed track. Will definitely be back.
Excellent condition/Strange design
Pluses; excellent condition with beautiful visuals. Multiple tee boxes makes course approachable for anyone with demanding tee shots from back tees. Green structures are rarely penal for any missed greens.
Minus; only two par 3's and two par 5's take away great opportunities for offering more great hole structure, variety, challenges, and memories that would establish the celebrity course as amongst the best in the area.
Excellent course
Beautiful fairways, tough but fair greens, exceptionally nice layout
Slow and frustrating
There is 8 people on the green ahead of us causing us not to finish the round due to them being so slow and the sun going down, why are they allowed to have 8 players on a hole, very frustrating for everyone else. This is unreal.....
If this is how they like to bend the rules I will never come back here.
