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
Beautiful course
Super golf course. Very pretty scenery. Conditions were perfect. Fairways, traps tees, and greens were all in excellent condition. Greens are very hard to read very hard to make putts.
Beautiful day of golf.
This is a beautiful golf course with plenty of challenging shots, lots of well maintained bunkers, and excellent conditions. Water comes into play on a number of holes and course management is a must. We had a perfect day of golf on the Celebrity course!
this course is very good
Compared to the other courses this is very pretty and has lots of shade from the hot sun. It makes you think about placement of your shots.
One of the Best
Indian Wells Golf Course is a first class golf course with gorgeous grounds and beautiful play. The magnificent views of the Santa Rosa Mountains along with the impeccable landscape make this a course hard to beat in beauty and play.
confused
There was no parking ?? I had to drive in circles until a space was available. I had booked the celebrity course, but upon check in they told me there was a tournament that was going to be 6 hours, so I should play the other side ?? I wouldn't have booked it had I previously known that , and I couldn't understand why nobody offered that information prior ?? Course was fine though lol
Beautiful course
Beautiful course and great condition. Glad I was able to play here, and look forward to coming back in the future.
Nice course
A realt nice course with god conditions, pace of play was exelent <3 hour
Great course. Great condition. Great staff
Great course. Fun to play. Top notch facility and course conditions. Very friendly staff.
Loved it
The staff here are extremely friendly and helpful. We did get paid with a 10 year old beginner which allowed us down a bit but we played through them because the course was pretty much open. I got a good deal online so I didn't mind the price but I think all courses in Palm Springs are overprucrd. I will play here again. It was challenging but fun. Great facility, best locker room of 4 courses. I like that it had Gas, which they don't have at the Westin courses.
Looks like a Jungle in the middle of a desert
The course was in amazing shape. It gets a lot of play but you would never know by looking at it. The groundskeeper staff keeps it in tip top shape. It would have been nice if the fountains and waterfalls were turned on. Course layout is not overly challenging, but the greens are going to run up your score quick. We played celebrity and I would like to come back for players. It is pretty flawless every which way you look at it. Go look for yourself.
Beautiful course
Players is a beautiful course but day before I played the Celebrity which is simply amazing!
Celebrity Tilt
It is a beautiful golf course. Not many flat spots to stand on the fairway and greens are similar with very few straight lines to the cup. Nonetheless, the course is challenging yet not very difficult. A course evryone should play to enjoy the game and companionship away from work.
It's a Keeper
We've been coming to Palm Desert for the past 10 years. This course is one of the best in the valley. We will play course in future years.
Immaculate With A Great Layout
Played the players course. I've been blessed to play a lot of very nice course including Kapalua, TPC stadium, and sandpiper. This course might've been the best maintained out of them all. Pristine and gorgeous
Fantastic views and player friendly course
The course was in fantastic shape the staff were very friendly and helpful. This was the first time I played this course but it will definitely not be my last time. I highly recommend this course. The greens were fast but the pace of play was slow (only because we had a twosome in front of our foursome and they were lagging behind).
An adventure
As a first time player, it was extremely helpful to be paired with a twosome who was familiar with the course. Beautiful and challenging but not unreasonable.
Good course
I was a single and was behind a bunch of 4 somes on the celebrity course. I asked to switch to the players course on the turn and I was the only one on the course. It was late in the afternoon by this time.
Players was much better and I finished in an hour in a half.
Very good conditions and great layout.
Don't pass it up!
Really nice course, good value for what we paid for the greens fee + cart ($100). The course is beautiful, both in terms of hole design, course layout, but also the condition of the course. Most of the areas between holes looks like a botanical garden. I played the medium tees, and that was suitable for my handicap.
Great views from every tee.
It was hard to find the course clubhouse due to lack of signage ,but after i did it was just excellent service until the end of the round.
tee off area,fairways & green all excellent.
The course is not for novice golfers,as there are lots of bunkers. The 3 people i was paired with had played the course before,so told me of the sloping fairways that will put your ball in the bunkers & water. The whole course is very well maintained.
After the round i tipped a staff member to clean my clubs,but when i got my clubs to the car,i discovered he only cleaned two clubs.The only negative.
