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
Wow!
Absolutely beautiful course. Every hole could be a page in a golf calendar. Tee options were perfect for my level of play. Lots of bunkers to keep your attention. Cascading creeks and pools make for amazing beauty. Staff and marshals are friendly and welcoming. Only downside was that the grass on the greens wasn’t “prefect,” but still way better than most other courses. I highly recommend this course.
Recent Celebrity Play
Beautiful course. Very friendly staff. Great driving range. Great course conditions. Very slow pace of play was only negative. Very bad actually. Nice experience otherwise but definitely overpriced.
Memorable
First time playing the course and it lived up to the hype. Super pretty and lush. Pay attention to the GPS as there is water on the back in places you cannot see with the naked eye. I see why people come back and play this course over and over again.
Nice challenging course
Very nice course, Excellent staff great on course follow up for hydration. Greens super hard and fast. Fairways in great condition. Well worth the expense based on the service alone. Will play again when back out to the resort.
Good shape
Good shape for this time of year. Greens are still recovering from being punched and a bit of taller grass outside of the ruff, otherwise great shape
Awesome golf!
Overall I really enjoyed this course. Such a beautiful course and great layout. Course was in great condition for mid summer. I played PGA West Nicklaus tournament course the day before and there was dead, cut grass everywhere in the rough making it hard to find a ball. One thing I didn’t like was that there was only 1 par 3 and par 5 per side. Would definitely recommend to a friend and play here again.
Greens are eaten up
Course, staff & layout was outstanding.. EXCEPT every green was in bad shape as too many rough or bare spots to putt over. Only reason wasn't a 5 star review
Pleasantly pleased
I always look forward to Memorial Day Golf ⛳️. This was my second favorite course behind Desert Willow. JW Marriot was disappointing! The Celebrity Course was in excellent condition but the greens were dried and ugly. Food was good. Would definitely recommend to my friends.
Course is in rough shape
I think this course would be really fun under different circumstances. We played in late May and the greens were horrible.
Course not really fun holes and beautiful scenery. Not super challenging, but very fun.
Solid Upscale Course
Played here very recently and the course is very nice. My favorite part was the amenities and facilities around the course. Great practice area with multiple undulating practice putting greens. Big chipping area and a nice range. Plenty of food and beverage options. My only minor complaints were that the greens had some bare patches and there is terrible dust in the area of Palm Springs right now (not the courses fault obviously). Aside from that, this is a good course I enjoyed playing.
