Indian Wells Golf Resort - Players Course

The Players course at Indian Wells was underwhelming after hearing and seeing so much fanfare about the course. The course was in great condition and the Marshal was on the ball keeping slower groups moving. My complaints pertain to the cost and what you get in the course. I’ve golfed several high end muni’s that are on Par with the players course at half the price. The check in was slow with the computer system issues which was no fault of the pro-shop staff. Extremely expensive drinks on the cart as well. Won’t be back unless there are better deals to be had.

Enjoyed our. Game. Pace of play was fine on a beautiful day in peak season. Views of mountain ranges were outstanding. Will likely return

As a test of golf, I'd rather play the Players Course than the Celebrity Course because it's certainly more demanding and probably offers a little more variety. It just isn't as visually stunning as the Celebrity Course, which is why I didn't give the Players Course five stars (but I definitely considered it). With this said, I'd play this course over and over again. This is the proverbial "you get to use every club in the bag" course. A terrific variety of holes include the par-4 sixth, which wraps around a lake, ala Bay Hill no. 6, and the drivable par-4 third hole. I also like the fact that all the par 5s are reachable if you have reasonable length off the tee (and play the right tees). In addition to the golf, be sure to check out the clubhouse restaurant, the VUE, which has all kinds of top-chef menu items and a fantastic selection of wines and spirits from the bar.

Great day, 80 and not a cloud in the sky. The greens and fairways are pristine, no dry spots, not wet spots. They leave the rough dormant in the winter which I like.

Perfect golf day on a perfect course

Played the Orange Tees (6538/71.6/130) with GK Guru's Kevin, Larry and David in slightly over 4H twilight. Really nice to play with Larry/David for the first time and to get to play with Kevin again! Almost perfect golf weather, clear and fairly calm in the mid 70's.

The course conditions were very good, but not nearly as good as it's Celebrity sister course. The layout is a good mixture of flat and rolling hills. Par 72 (37-35) with 7 sets of well spaced tees. I especially like how basically all their tees except the tips are combo tees. Makes it easier for people to play different tees since you are playing 9 tees from the color in front of you on most tee sets.

The tees were lush and nicely maintained with few divots.

The over seeded fairways were lush and VERY nice to play from.

The mostly dormant Bermuda rough is not over seeded like Celebrity. It is decent to play from, but a large step down from the plush over seeded rough @ Celebrity.

The sand traps were nicely maintained with nice fine sand.

The over seeded greens putted medium fast, were firm and had few ball marks. However, several greens had so much coot poop they severely hampered play on those holes. These large greens have many subtle undulations with few straight putts.

I enjoy this layout more with each visit. Challenging course featuring many holes with fairways that are either narrow in the landing area or require turning the ball to get in prime positions. Large challenging green complexes. This course would be challenging to walk since there are numerous tees hundreds of yards from the last green.

The customer service is always excellent here. Had a cheeseburger and lemonade for lunch, pricey but excellent. Cart gal was around numerous times. Complementary range balls on an all grass range is always a plus. Definitely recommended.

The course was a a bit crowded . Not the fault of the mamgement. The staff was helpful but a bit condisending at the front desk. Starter was helpful and polite. I gues the down fall is the type of customer it attracts on the weekend. I know better than to play on a Saturday. I guess the best way to put it is the gentleman behind us and in front of us we’re douche bags.

Great course but definitely don’t play it on weekend.

The course is just an ok layout and not a good value for the price. Other course st this price are far superior

Great layout. But a lot dough for not tip top course condition. Greens slow and bumpy. Indian Wells charges the highest price around. Just not the value.

The staff is great though and it’s just a great facility. Lower the greens fee and I’d play more than one time. I stayed at right there for 9 nights and had to go to other courses

this was the best golf course i have ever played

i have been golfing around the united states

from north carolina to maryland texas and colorado

been golfing for over 20 years

this experience by far was the best

tee boxes beautiful, fairways flawless greens just amazing

i would love this course in my home town

Fantastic all around experience. Course was in great shape, friendly staff, didn't wait on any tee box, really enjoyed it and would come back.

We enjoyed our round at Indian Wells (Players). The greens were quite slow but rolled true; all other conditions were excellent. All staff members were friendly and helpful. We played as a foursome in 4:15, so pace of play was good. The only real complaint we had was that the restaurant/club house closed at 6:00PM on Sunday, so afternoon golfers were out of luck. We would have liked to have had dinner there but ended up having to go elsewhere.

Nice course, good pace of play and excellent staff.

I have to say the staff at Indian Wells are fantastic, they can't do enough for you and made our party feel very welcome
