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.

Indian Wells
I decided to play this course at the last minute and had an afternoon tee time. Course was in great shape, the staff was friendly and I was able to play the round in 4 hours. Doesn't get much better then that.
A very reasonable course with some nice challenges but not too hard
We really enjoyed this course. After being pretty beat up at another course yesterday, this course was a lot more fun to play. It's absolutely gorgeous, expansive, and well-maintained. The Celebrity course is a little challenging for this 25+ handicap golfer but it doesn't punish you.
The staff was great, the pace of play very good, the overall conditions were first rate. Of the places I've played, this is one where I'll definitely want to come back to play again. It also probably has the nicest clubhouse I've experienced. I'd love to come back and try out the Callaway performance center.
One to Remember
From beginning to end, this was a round to remember. Not that I played that well, it was the fantastic condition of the course combined with the weather and outstanding beauty. We played the Celebrity Course, and we were paired with some locals and enjoyed their company. A must play in the desert.
Slower than expected, but still a nice course
The Golf course is pretty and well kept. The Staff are friendly and accomodating. We had perfect weather during our visit but the pace of play was terribly slow at more than 5 hours, it felt more like a tournament than a casual round with friends.
5 Star Courses
Could not fault the courses, they were presented in excellent condition.
Played Celebrity twice in 3 days
Played both the Celebrity and the Players course. I preferred the Celebrity because it's more scenic. Thus I came back to play the Celebrity course a second time in 3 days. The back nine is the more scenic part of the Celebrity course, in my opinion. Both Celebrity and Players are challenging but I prefer the greens on the Celebrity course as well as the fairways ( more grass and less waste bunkers). The next time I come to the Palm Springs course, I will make sure to get tee times at Indian Wells, first. Only complaint I have, a minor one, was that the ice and water dispenser at the end of #3 didn't work the first day and still wasn't functioning 2 days later. It didn't affect my golf so no big deal. The staff was friendly and helpful which is unusual for a high end course. Thanks again for the wonderful golf experience!
Very pretty, lots for he eyes
Challenging track. Course in good condition. Greens a little slow
Pretty but slow play
Followed a tournament which was not advertised , very slow pace of play. 6 holes cart path only which was not expected or advertised . Not sure it is worth the high greens fees.
Very nice course
By far the nicest course we played out of 5, but also the most expensive by far. Worth the extra money? One time.
Beautiful course
Don't forget your camera when you play this course, I did.
One of the most beautiful in the CV.
Great golf facility
This is now one of my favorite places to golf. These people know what they are doing. The course is beautiful - very well maintained with professional and courteous staff. No complaints on my part.
I really love this golf course (Celebrity) and the view is breath taking.
This course was in great shape and staffs were supper friendly. Ice every a few holes and a towel in the ice chest really help you through th summer heat. Wish the pace were a bit faster. definitely will go back play.
water features overall beauty
I am new to Golf and this course definitly spoiled me. The staff was excellent and extremely helpful I felt like a king even though I played like a toad.
This course is sweet!
Awesome track! (Celebrity) Played as a twosome with my son. 82 from the Blues. A little warm, 108' @ 4:00pm, cooled off considerably 1 hour later. Great rate and fantastic course conditions for this time of year. Friendly service start to finish, Magarita beer cart,ice and water every 3-5 holes,clean bathrooms. I'll be back sooner than later :)
summer golf
this course was all everyone said it was. The staff from the time we drove up was excellent and friendly. The weather was in the low 100's but we were kept well hydrated throughout. it was an excellent value in the middle of summer
Had a great round
This course was very well maintained and you can tell the staff takes pride in their work. Played in the early afternoon and there were workers on many of the holes working on the grounds. They were respectful and moved out of the way and turned off their machines when I approached. Greens were in great shape and the scenery is beautiful. If you can hit the greens in regulation, this is an easy course to score on. Very enjoyable round, would definitely recommend checking it out.
Great track
Short course, but a challenging layout. If you spry you driver don' t bring it and use your three wood because the fairway bunkers are very deep. Traditional desert target golf. Staff was awesome.
This course is very picturesque
Course is in great shape. Has multiple signature holes. Blue tees offer a fair challenge.
Amazing facility with challenging golf
This facility is definitely a 5 star. The staff was great. The course marshal was extremely nice, even brought us ice cold towels (this was July - 100+ degrees). As a group, the guys loved it. As gals, we found it pretty difficult. Green fairways with manicured greens.
Very nice course with top notch customer service
The minute I arrived at bag drop everything was taken care of. Bags to cart, driving range included and 9 hole putting course. They provide a notification vob that tells you when to head to first tee. This was my first Desert Plam experience and it was awesome. I highly recommend this golf resort!
