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.

Golfer Reviews
Favorite course in the area
This course is maintained beautifully. My husband and are are fairly good golfers, have played for 30 years at courses all over the world and this is one our favorites. Challenging but fair for the average golfer.
Beautiful course
Played the celebrity course for 60.00 each which was a fair price. Would not have paid 125.00 to golf here or any other course. The grounds here are beautiful along with the views. The course has it's challenges but the fairways have enough room to make it fair so your not cringing at every shot. The pro shop staff were very friendly.
Unequalled
I've played close to 30 courses down here in Palm Springs, and this is the winner. Nothing at pga west even comes close. The greens rolled quick and true, yet were soft enough to land and stick. Water falls and features were on nearly every hole, but were only in play on a few. Deep emerald fairways were perfectly maintained.
Very disappointing bunkers
This was my third time playing the players. It is one of my favorite courses and a must play every time I'm down. The course wasnt in the best shape I've seen. The sand traps were terrible! They were as hard as a rock and our group of 3 handicappers were cost quit a few strokes thanks to their condition. If you play do yourself a favor and stay off the beach!!
One of the prettiest golf courses, incredible landscapping
Great conditions, friendly fairways, needed a caddie to read my putts, never understood how the ball will break
Well groomed, awesome staff!
Trying to focus on your golf while enjoying the beautiful course is challenging enough. Course is pristine, beautiful wildflowers everywhere. Pace of play was comfortable. The staff were welcoming and professional.
Beautiful course with so-so greens
I played this course in early April and the tee boxes and fairways were immaculate. The greens were hit and miss. My guess is at this time of year, there is a lot of play and it takes its toll on the greens. Very scenic course with a nice warm-up facility, good carts (including GPS) and friendly staff.
Celebrity course
One of my favorites, the back nine is super beautiful with water and flowers everywhere!!!
very scenic
First time in two years playing this course. Perfect time of year with all the flowers in bloom. Course condition was very good,save for the few extra un-repaired ball marks on the greens. Staff is friendly-from pro shop to starter/marshals and bev cart. One of our favorites in the valley.
Great course with super friendly staff.
top notch conditions, greens where superb, fast and well maintained. great common areas with wild flowers, and waterfalls.
Not welcoming!
We didn't feel that this course is worth $180.00.
Much nicer courses in the area that are cheaper.
The staff could be friendlier. Not welcoming!
We like to support the courses by having breakfast and lunch however there wasn't even a decent restaurant open for breakfast at 9:30 am.
This resort is suppose to be so prestigious, prepared breakfast sandwiches don't cut it.
We ended up golfing with 2 wonderful gentlemen which made the day enjoyable.
Very nice course landscape on Celebrity course is very pretty
I played with a very nice couple from San Diego and had a wonderful time....I really wish the foursome in front had a sense of urgency because we were trying to finish before dark....Had to wait every shot for them to find ball, then the others were not prepared to hit their shot. I saw the marshal once and he didn't scoot them along...Other then that, a very pleasant experience.
A course I would play again.
We only had one issue with the course. We were not able to finish our round because of darkness. They had a 16 person outing in front of us and they slowed play down so much we could not finish. The course is excellent and we got our money's worth. The staff, all the way to the marshall, was super.
Great course, outstanding day of golf!!
Staff at the Indian Wells resort course were excellent. The course was in fantastic condition and well worth the money. Played the blue/white combo tees which was a good test of golf. Really enjoyed the round at this top notch course.
Excellent conditions, pretty course, nice value
Some of the holes on the celebrity course are unconventional, but on the whole, this is a fun, well-maintained, and very scenic course. Pace of play was extremely slow, but otherwise both courses provided an enjoyable golf experience.
A nice Challenge!
Played the Celebrity course and enjoyed the course very much. I played with one other and unfortunately got behind a group of 16......very slow an the marshals were great. They kept us informed as to progress but after 3 hrs and 11holes the marshal very kindly rerouted us and we were able to get in 20 holes before dark. Good work on their part and very enjoyable.
