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.

Great staff excellent course very challenging!!!
I absolutely loved my golf experience. The only negative I can take from my experience was that it was 108 degrees outside. The staff was fantastic and helpful and the course was in spectacular shape despite the temps outside green was soft and fast and the fairways were firm. I will definitely play I Dian wells again when I get a chance.-Casey
Great experience
I played in the afternoon in 120 degree heat. I booked it thru Golfnow and paid $40.00. My tee time was at 3.20 but I had played earlier and got done well before so I arrived around 2.15. They let me go off whenever I wanted so I hit a few balls loaded up with water and off I went. With the exception of the starter , physEd ( yes that is his name, he had it legally changed, he was proud to say) who was super friendly, I saw one other ranger on the course who made sure I was drinking enough water. There were water stations every third hole but some were not dispensing ice, I don't know If it was the heat, but there were coolers of ice so no problem.
I was told by Tom in the pro shop that the course was in very good condition for that time of year. He was right. It did not disappoint. I played the players course and from the orange tees it was perfect for my game. I am told the Players course is not as pretty as the Celebrity course but I thought it was just the right amount of "pretty" for me. This isn't Augusta!!
I loved the fact that coming off sixteen you have no idea where the last two holes are. Follow the cart path and you come to a great short 17th and a tough 18th. Play it and you will see what I mean.
Great staff, well stocked pro shop and great course. This would definitely be on my must play when in this area.
Pace of play is too long on hot day
Ok course but it does not stand out in a golf community.
Popular course worth playing
Apart from the construction noise adjacent to the driving range this venue is a very serene and beautiful course to play. Numerous tees allow all level of golfers to enjoy their outing.
Amazing course
In town on vacation and played many courses in Palm Springs this week and this one was my favorite. Every single staff member was really nice and knowledgeable about the course. Course was in great shape even when the heat was over 110 degrees each day the week before. A lot of fun holes with challenging par 5s. The resort/club house was also very nice.
Must hit the ball straight
Very nice course on a small piece of property. Tight fairways and good bunkers. Greens hard to read compared to other local courses. Played in three hours on a weekend. A must play if in the area.
Great track!
While a little pricey for late June in Palm Springs, it was well worth it. Course is in great shape and the views incredible. Better bring an accurate tee game and have your green reading sharp. Would highly recommend!
Great Resort Course
Beautiful course. Very friendly staff. A must play when visiting Palm Springs
Greens were burned out.
The greens were burned out and hard for this time of the year. The rest of the course was excellent.
Great course, GPS on the cart.
Played the Players Course, great course. GPS on cart made my first time playing there very enjoyable.
Had issue with a tournament
Had a 12:40 tee time. Was not told there was a tournament on both courses. We ran into the tournament after six holes. Could not finish. Staff moved us to the other course but because of the delays only played a total of 14 holes. Unsure if I will try again.
GREAT course!
Played the Players course for 100.00 by booking on GolfNow which was normally 125.00...............the replay rate was ONLY 25.00! we played the Players then nine on the Celebrity then nine on the players........started at 640am and we were back at the condo sipping margaritas at 115pm! Super FRIENDLY staff!
fun course!
As a twosome, we were matched with a single..OK
After teeing off, the starter drove up and put another single player with us. As the course didn't seem busy - not OK.
We could have been finished much earlier and not been standing so long in the sun while 4 people putted and 2 were looking for balls a lot of the time.
After two holes a single came up behind and we had to let him play through. Why on earth would the starter put out a foursome and then a single?
Great track if you can get a deal on the green fee
The greens were very fast - which i really like. the ball rolls true but stay below the hole if you can.
Course was in great shape.
I think the normal green fees are too high so I will play again only if I can get a deal.
Very nice facility for lunch or dinner afterwards.
Love playing Indian wells every time!
Course exceptional, staff very friendly and attentive. Course marshal needs to listen to golfers questions instead of talking all the time. We could not get a straight answer from this guy. He just didn't listen. Very frustrating.
This course is beautiful and challenging
My husband and I definitely recommend playing this course. He is an experienced golfer and I am a fairly new golfer (year 4 playing). We loved the course. It is challenging, very well maintained, visually beautiful, and the staff were all extremely friendly and welcoming. We look forward to playing here again.
Beautiful
One of the most manicured cold courses I have golfed on. Would highly recommend golfed with 2 guys from California had a great time.
Players is OK
Would highly recommend the Celebrity course over the players.
We played both back to back and they are not even comparable.
The greens we very beat up and brownish.
Wonderful course. Spectacular views.
This course has it all. Great, helpful staff. Wonderfully kept. Beautiful, fast greens, though players did not always repair ballmarks. Mountain views were breathtaking on almost every hole. Moderately difficult and beautiful to play. Pace of play was about 4-1/2 hours...too slow but it is a resort course and you must realize that there will be slow people or groups.
See below
Fairways and greens in superb condition but traps usually unraked. Course challenging from back tees but otherwise very playable. Had to quit after 12 holes on a hot day because of slow play by forward threesome-no ranger for help. Entire staff from car attendents to club house personel extremely friendly and helpful.
