Indian Wells Golf Resort - Celebrity Course
Rating Snapshot
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
No Food
Driving range limited to 150 yard
No food at the turn
Had to share a cart with someone outside of my group.
All of these are “normal” for a golf course - but hard to swallow after paying $260+ for a tee time.
Sadistic Greens
Due to sadistic pin placements, lightening fast greens and very undulating greens, be ready to shoot 8 shots higher than your average.
Beautiful course and hole designs (too much sand tho), but
I’d suggest this to their grounds staff:
Greens are way too fast for the contours, and don’t have so many extreme pins, right near front or near the back.
Makes it impossible for amateurs with hdcps higher than 4 or 5.
I’m a 6 and it crushed me.
Given all that, it wasn’t even CLOSE to being worth the $.
Great conditions, amazing weather.
Great condition, staff welcoming and amenities all make the round great.
Slippery Greens
Practice the greens before you go out there! So fun!
Deceiving practice
I booked via GolfNow, which mentioned nothing about cart path only and aerification alert. In addition, they made it prepaid such that it could not be cancelled on the spot. This is not what I expected from this resort. No bottled water at $200 a round. Overall disappointing round at regular green fees.
Wonderful Example Of Resort Golg
The Celebrity Course is a wonderful representation of an upscale golf resort facility. It’s not punitive in length (five tees make it easy to find a choice that works for your game) or in green protection or crazy slopes. It’s in spectacular condition and the staff is also what you’d expect from a place like this. Everyone was so helpful … you’ll feel pampered.
The best golf experience
Everything from birdie to snowman ⛄️ and I enjoyed every hole!
Satisfy
Even though the green was very slow due to seeding. Everything else was great. Staffs are helpful and friendly. Course are beautiful and great condition. The only fall back is the cart path only. Will definitely go back again.
An Oasis in the Desert
The Celebrity course is a must play if you visit the desert. Great course that has an oasis of golf holes. They do an incredible job of framing the golf holes with flowers, water, and palm trees. Definitely challenging but so special visually!! Can't miss course!! The lower driving range isn't great at all (hard pan) but we were there in October (the off season). Great facility and the staff is wonderful!
Every year again
Very friendly and competent staff
Course in amazing condition
Caddy is very welcome
We will come back next year
