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.

Saturday round at Celebrity Indian Wells

Ok course but way overpriced. Bunkers were not in great shape, some grass growing in a few. Resort course where nobody rakes the bunkers. Slow pace. Layout feels crammed into a small piece of land. Nice staff. Fairways and greens were nice but overall what you get for over $200 green fee it was not worth it. too many good options for a lot less in the Coachella area.

A Beautiful Place - Celebrity Course

With Blue mountains to it’s back grounds, the course was filled with flower beds and Palm trees.

The course condition was at it’s best.

Loved the course.

Great course layout

The Celebrity course was challenging, great layout.

A bit on the expensive side, 200/pp. still worth playing at least once.

Beautiful course

We got two different courses at Indian Wells. This was the second one that we golfed and it was absolutely gorgeous. The flowers were beautiful. It was challenging as it was a lot more hilly than the other course there. Would definitely recommend it

Fantastic Golf Course

One of the best golf courses I have ever played. A challenging layout with endless beauty on each and every hole. Course is very well kept and greens role fast and true. I would recommend this course and it is worth every penny.

As good as any country club

The green grass and red flowering bushes were stunning.

The course had ample fairway off the tees

Price was a little high but enjoyed the round immensely

Excellent Facility; Disappointing Pace

The course is challenging and fun; facilities and staff are top notch. The only critique I have is due to the pace of play. I booked a 6:30 tee time, for $199, with the hopes of playing a timely round as the first group off. Unbeknownst to me, the staff placed two foursomes of a Ladies’ Tournament ahead of us. After flying through the first 11 holes, we spent the next 2 hours waiting on every shot for the last 7 holes. Had I been informed of this plan by the staff, I would’ve chosen not to golf today.

Otherwise, everything about the Indian Wells Golf Resort courses is aces; highly recommend.

Will be back!

Great course, super friendly staff, surprised by water features a couple times when we forgot to check GPS, that was interesting. Was disappointed there was no breakfast available in restaurant until 11am, just a food vendor truck with minimal menu. Points off for that but everything else was great! Starter Frank was a character!!
