Indian Wells Golf Resort - Players Course
About
The Players Course is one of two championship courses at Indian Wells Golf Resort, both of which are ranked in the top 20 golf courses in California. Opened in 2007, the course is still young but the landscape's existing trees were carefully incorporated into the layout to give it a more mature feel. The terrain has many assets to offer a round of golf, including plenty of water features and elevation changes. The challenging layout is complete with meticulously sculpted bunkers. It is a scenic course too with lush, well manicured fairways accented by colorful flowers and meandering streams. The design also takes advantage of the stunning views of the surrounding Santa Rosa, San Jacinto, and San Bernardino mountains ranges. To the south, Eisenhower Mountain serves as a breathtaking backdrop.

6 Star
Without question, the Troon group has made this course and the clubhouse/golf features the best in So. California. I have played golf in 45 countries and I have not seen its equal. Now that is quite a compliment.
Outstanding round.
Impeccable conditions, attentive service, $30 green fee from GolfNow. That is the makings of a perfect day.
Oh, did I mention the mango-scented frozen face towels hand delivered by the marshall?
Tricky course but fun with great views.
First hole sets the tone, par 5 narrow fairway mostly sloped down from left to right. It gets easier after that. Good variety of challenges. The greens were fast and there were some surprising breaks (at least I didn't see them in advance).
Water and ice available every 3 holes.
No distance markings on the course, use the GPS system on the cart.
overall great place to play golf
Indian wells is an amazing place to golf. The restaurant and staff were excellent as well. There were ground under repair, but this is considered there off season. Despite being their off season the course is still in great shape.
Challenging But Fair
Course was in great condition despite fact that it was August. Greens were true and quick and fairways were excellent with no burn marks. I played TPC Stadium the day before and their greens were slow. Condition of Players course (tee and green) was a much higher level than the Stadium course. Staff was very helpful and pleasant. Strongly recommend for a top-notch experience. Single digit handicap who played blue tees.
Indian Wells
Fairways and greens were in excellent shape. Summer brings the heat in the desert (109 degrees) so stay hydrated.
Good course, great staff
Great course, great staff. The course was in great shape for the August month in Palm Springs! The staff was more than helpful we had a bev cart every third or fourth hole filling our ice cups. Making sure we in our foursome were hydrated and having a good round. Thanks again to the Indian Wells staff and looking forward to the next time I play there,
Golf course is very nice for this time of the yeare
I love to play this golf course they have two 18 holes courses and bout are very nice,
Staff is very friendly I think this facilities is one of the best one in area.
Amazing views , pristine fairways , Exellent staff
I was celebrating my 31 wedding anniversary, my wife surprised me with a t time to this golf course I was static ! I know I have an exellente beautiful wife !! But back to the course, amazing course I'm a bogie golfer and it was very challenging for me but I was there for the experience , the staff it's one of the most friendly people I have encounter, I left my 6 iron behind and I didn't realize It was missing until the 3rd hole when I had to use it again, my co rider send a msg on the gps to the club house two different people came to see what happened , I thought for sure was gone , I use a vrs forged nike clubs and they 125 ea separately plus the fact that you need all your clubs in this course , than two holes later the Marshall came were we were waving my club in his hand my heart did a little jolt of happiness exellente staff thank you again!! This is must course to play everything it's pristine .
Great facility
Course was great, challenging but fair. Staff is awesome.
The course was in wonderful shape.
A must play, you should put it on your bucket list.
Very nice course
The only complaint I had was the maintenance people were everywhere, waited more for them than other golfers and still finished under 4 hours. But I guess that is how they have the course in such good condition. Played in low season so rates were reasonable.
Must play, best in Palm Springs area
great course, top notch, course in great condition.
Put this course on hour must plat list
This course was even better than I expected and I knew it was a great course.
Extremely friendly and knowledgable staff. Great golf course. Greens were immaculate and very very fast.
A course that we will play again.
Good food post round on a great outside patio.
An Undulating Course
I played the Player Course on a very crowded day. Although the club seems to genuinely concern about the pace of play, it can only do so much as a resort. That aside, the club is situated in a beautiful environment. The housing is surprisingly not intrusive. As to the conditions of the course, I found that greens were true and fast and that fairways were excellent. My only complaint, for the price the club normally charges, was the sand coverage of bunkers, which are many, was usually thin. Although I did not score particularly well as a first time player that day, I will be back the next time I find a good deal again on Golfnow.
coarse is in amazing shape. Awesome round
This place is amazing. Coarse is in great shape, loved it
Great course - telling friends it is something they have to play
The course was in great shape, fun and challenging. Will come back and play this course again. Will also give the Celebrity course a try.
Only complaint was pace of play. Lucky enough to start an hour behind any group, unfortunately we caught the group ahead of us on the 8th hole. Nice day, but you do get out of the groove when waiting between shots.
Great course, sunday pin placements!
Gorgeous course. First time playing. But be prepared for a challenge in putting and the greens. We played on sunday and we sure did get sunday pin placements. Staff very friendly!!
Beautiful Course
The rack rate for the course is around $150. Using Golf Now, I paid $70 and was well worth it. The Celebrity Course is beautifully designed and landscaped. Well worth the $70 which included cart, GPS and range balls.
Worth the Price
Haven't played IW since the redesign. Player's course is the former "East" course and retains much of the "bones" but has been modernized and improved. Golf Now price was reduced substantially from the walk-up rate. Wouldn't pay full price, but felt the GN price was very fair for the quality of the course. Greens were among the best we played in the Desert. Staff is really nice, friendly, and welcoming. They have a pace of play incentive that is really creative...and is a win/win for the resort and the player (discounted prices on drinks or appetizers). Really enjoyed it...and had to work hard to score!
