Indian Wells Golf Resort - Celebrity Course

This is one of the best courses here in the desert. There is great variation in the holes. The back nine is my favorite although the par 5 #4 over water at base of the hill and the par 3 #6 with great water features all along the right side of the hole is a great hole. You will really enjoy playing this course unless you like courses that "beat you up" of which there are several here in the desert.

This course is a delight to play. Wonderful rolling hills and waterfeatures that are so natural looking and sounding that one thinks they are in the mountains . It was the first time we played it and it was difficult to concentrate on our games as we were so busy looking at the fabulous scenery. Indian Wells has done a great job with super friendly staff and a very efficient service level. Bag boy ordered our car from valet as soon as we came in from our round and by the time we reached the front entrance everything was ready for us to get into the car and drive away. No waiting at all. Would definitely give it a l0 out of 10.

A must play before you die. Played the Celebrity course can't wait to get back and try the Players course.

Beautiful setting! Outstanding experience! Course has a great mixture of long difficult holes and short challenging ones.

It was a beautiful course but the greens were very difficult. Take your camera for some great shots. We played it as a birthday gift to myself after seeing it on Big Break. Loved the course a bit pricey but how often does one play a course like that.

We played three golf courses in the area and Indian Wells was the best by far. Thje staff was very friendly and helpful. The course (Celebrity) was sufficiently challenging for a mixed foursome. Conditioning of the golf course was outstanding. This was the best vlaue for the money that we found.

Very great experience on this course - something to challenge yourself on every hole. A must do, for golfers going to Palm Springs on holidays!
We were slowed down on the back 9 - and this made a back up unfortunately - so a suggestion to keep the pace of play with marshalls.

The course was one of the most scenic we have played. It had been open for a week after re-seeding which allowed for cart path only. Our only complaint was that none of the sprinkler heads were marked and therefore, made it difficult to get a read on yardage with cart path only.

The course conditions at the Indian Wells Celebrity course were as nice as any course in valley. It had smooth fast greens, lush fairways, level tees, and well kept sand traps. However it doesn't get 5 stars from me for the following reasons - minimal available parking anywhere close to the clubhouse, terrible signage (couldn't find the clubhouse), a rushed feel prior to tee time, and SLOW and BAD play once we were on the course. In general, I have found that the higher the cost of the course, the slower and worse the golfers are on that course. One more point. The Celebrity Course has an odd mixture of holes. This par 72 course has only 2 par 5s, and 2 par 3s. The remaining 14 holes are all par 4s.

Did not "slide" all factors to the very best, but all were close.
Pace of play was mostly our own fault.

great course for the money and in immaculate condition, all staff were kind and courteous and made it very enjoyable.

We play celebrity with bad greens ( sand ) it will be better to play The players

Fantastic course and facilities ......... stunningly beautiful golf courses which can be distracting at times. Bring your camera and watch Big Break Indian Wells before you play! Don't miss the amazing Happy Hour in the IW Club and the super friendly bar staff.

Incredible views and incredibly maintained, if it wasn't for the high humidity and 108 degree temps this might have been one of our best experiences in the dessert. The course was empty, literally and we played in just over 3 hours. Beautifully maintained and in great condition. The greens were a bit slow but other then that we had a great time.
