Indian Wells Golf Resort - Players Course

Not bad staff over all except starter at first tee, wide open course upon arriving 40 minutes early during checking in club house gave us green light to get to tee box since there were no other bookings, while starter was not on the same page with them and having attitude and wanted us to wait till my tee time . Unknown 2 some was paired with us which we didn’t notified by club house however they came up to tee box and said same thing to starter and he looked clueless now what to say to this 2 some. 😆 would have been better starter to get 4 star review.

Not as nice as Celebrity but always a good vibe and conditions are solid.

Curious to see what changes they had made. Was a bit disappointed. Liked the old layout better. New sand so balls plugged quite often. The green were new and firm but putted okay. They only had one set of d men's stiff shaft rentals which was ridiculous.

We brought a group from Minnesota and played seven days in greater Palm Springs. We played the Indian Wells Players Course on January 29th, it was the worst and most expensive. The driving range is hitting off matts not grass. The course was under repair and we were carts path only on 8 of the 18 holes resulting in lots of walking. The pace of play was slow. We only saw the Cart girl twice and she was very unengaging. The greens and fairways were in poor shape. The staff in pro shop and around course were old (our group was 50-75) and the least customer engaged of any course, they were talking amongst themselves and could care less about us. The course is not on any of our apps (Arccos and Golf watches). The course said yes we didn't share our updates your devices won't work!!! Save your money there are much better courses than this course.

The phase of play was unacceptable slow and the new course layout was very disappointing. Too many holes wheee you are coming back into incoming golf balls. Also the course is not in the condition that the price warrants. So far worst course we have played in January.

The golf course is okay but not worth $227 I paid less to play PGA West Stadium and Nicholas course . I just was looking for holes with a Wow factor and never got that . The course layout was underwhelming but in good shape. The fairways Weren’t as plush as I thought they would be . The greens were solid and sneaky faster than they looked . Would play it again for $100 or less …

I had a chance to play the newly redesigned Players Course and it's amazing. Par 71 with 5 par 3's and 4 par 5's, the 7 new holes fit perfectly into the existing layout. They moved the old #17 and #18 back across the wash area to keep them on the N side with the other holes. It created returning 9's to the central area which makes sense. New Tees, greens, fairways and new while sand throughout the 18 holes with new desert landscaping on the entire course. Greens were a little hard being new, but rolled smooth and true. Nice 10+ speed as well for new is great. I walked which was part of the reason for the redesign which was an excellent experience. I can't wait to play it again.

I had a chance to play the newly redesigned Players course on opening day yesterday and it is great. Roughly 7 new or redesigned holes or more and they look and play great. They fit right into the existing holes really well. I was told all the greens, tees and bunkers were also redone on the entire course. Cart Paths only for a while maybe that slowed pace a little, but I walked so it was perfect. The new design make that really easy. They also have electric pushcarts if needed. Greens are smooth but a little slow since it’s early days but that will improve. Fairways are perfect ! Love playing the new track! Enjoy it, walk it!

I had a chance to play the newly redesigned Players course at the Indian Wells Golf Resort on its opening day! Amazing. The 5 new holes and those that were redesigned all fit perfectly into the existing layout. The whole course itself is in amazing shape after the new grasses this fall and overseeding. Many of the greens were enlarged and reshaped and are super smooth and look great. They are a little slow now but that should improve quickly. They are a little hard being new so that a little adjustment but will also improve with time and future aeration and top dressing. Pace of play is a little slow with Cart Paths only yesterday but that will change soon as well I’m told. You will love the new design. Walk if you can, really easy to do here now. The have electric pushcarts also so you don’t have to carry or push a cart. Enjoy! I did.

Half of the fairways are dead, as is most of the rough. They are doing work on the course and apparently applied some treatment to the grass that killed it. It was like playing in concrete for most of the holes. There were multiple groups taking forever on the greens lining up puts like they were playing on Sunday at Augusta. Left after 11 holes when it was going to be a 5 hour round. It’s clearly a nice course with a good layout, but the conditions are awful right now and due to that they aren’t enforcing pace of play.

Any review is not fair or accurate as the couse is undergoing a new routing and construction. Can't wait to play it next year to see how they did.

I loved playing this course. Lots of sets of tees perfectly set for a wide range of handicaps. Greens were sloppy and fun. GPS in the carts was very helpful. Staff was super friendly (yes even in the clubhouse!!), especially the starter and the course marshal. Snack cart lady made an amazing Bloody Mary, so I had 2. Only issue was that the grass on the greens was a little thin, like maybe they just did a verticut and top dress. They were still very smooth and fast, but just not “perfect.” Overall I had a wonderful experience.

Fun day at the Players. Greens rolling well but challenging for our group to make putts
