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
Treat yourself
Sad to see round conclude. First time playing. Challenging but fair. Gorgeous views on each hole. Very professional and courteous staff.. Conditions were outstanding.
Absolutely Stunning
Played the Celebrity Course on our trip celebrating my 40th birthday and it was phenomenal. Despite being wet the previous week or so, the course was in spectacular. Everybody from the valets to the pro staff to Mark the starter, was as friendly as could be. We teed off at 1:30 p.m. and finished our last hole as it was getting pretty dark around 5:45 p.m.
Course was in spectacular shape, tee boxes, rough and fairways were plush and the greens were great--rolled beautifully. Easily one of the top-3 courses I've ever played. I can't say enough about this course and hope to play it again in the near future.
Way to short and easy
The condition of the course was good but even from 6600 yard tees it played really short. Drove the green on the 250 par 4. Other pars 4 played driver and 75 yard pitch shot. Not sure we’re they come up with their distances.
First class operation
First class operation.You drop off your clubs in the valet parked your car. Your clubs are next to the driving range in five minutes. The marshals got me off early To avoid darkness.. I played the player course and it was beautiful green in the fairways and dormant beige in the rough. The greens were a little slow due to the rain yesterday & the days preceding. The holes are marked well.The cart lady comes around quite often.The chipping and putting areas are nice and grassy. Their driving range mats are Pretty cushy. I like grass driving ranges myself.. A great day of golf… I got paired up with Janice and Doug Siri very nice couple… They helped me navigate the course.The Staff was awesome!
Beautiful course
The celebrity course is such a pretty course. It is in great shape and is very picturesque! This is my favourite course to play.
Spectacular
Probably the most beautiful course I've ever played. Staff was absolutely awesome and did everything to make round enjoyable. Facilities did not disappoint, just as beautiful. If visiting the area, this is a must play.
Great course
Highly recommend for all handicap levels. Wonderful experience except for I lost my putter on #17..still hasn’t shown up.
Great day... Buit Cart path only
Great course as always. Played in 4:10 minutes. Jut coming off reseeding it was cart path only. Would have been nice to know this before booking as a couple of my friends don't like walking that much. Great course and great day.
Nice resort course in excellent condition.
This is a fairly accessible course with wide fairways and large greens making it a pleasant round of golf for golfers of all abilities.
Spectacular views and unforgettable round
From the moment you enter the property you realize you are in for a treat. The facilities are incredible. The staff makes you feel important , especially PhysEd, the starter, what a character. I’ve played several other courses in the area during September and none are in the condition that Indian Wells was in! Breathtaking views that will have you pulling out your phone to take pictures more than you use your range finder. The greens putted true and fast allowing me to make my career low score with 5 birdies! A bucket list course for sure!!!
Best deal in the Desert
Terrific layout that is both challenging and beautiful.
The amount of vegetation flowers and greenery is amazing. Fair for every range of handicap. Greens were in perfect condition albeit a bit slow due to the late afternoon round. The clubhouse is spectacular and the pro shop is very high end.
Very helpful Marshall moved us ahead of a tournament
fabulous course
This was our second time playing Indian Wells. What an experience. First class all the way. From the concierge to the pro shop, practice range and of course the course. Very friendly staff.. 5 star all the way .
