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.

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.

Great conditions, decent value

Played as 4some at 1210p on a Monday. The Players course was booked out for a tournament so Celebrity seemed quite packed. Waited behind a foursome all day, but still played in 4:30. Course was in fantastic condition. Cost was $170 pp, booked 4 weeks out.

Beautiful well manicured course

We enjoyed playing the Celebrity course. The starter "Mark" was congenial upon meeting us and very thorough in explaining the course layout, etc. The price of $ 115.00 was a good value. Our tee time was 2:20pm.

Great course … BUT

The Players Course is one of my favourites in the area. It’s a great layout with a lot of variety and challenge. But at $275 I expect AAA conditions and course maintenance and that’s not the case right now. Weeds and uneven clumps of grass around the fairways and greens aren’t just unsightly but actually impact play (the back of the 17th green was particularly bad). Great and friendly staff, and nice amenities, are certainly appreciated but ultimately it’s all about the course and I was disappointed given the price.
