Indian Wells Golf Resort - Players Course

The IW experience including the golf, restaurant and shopping was a truly great day. The remodel of the course and restaurant with new menus and entertainment is excellent. The staff is always friendly and efficient and aim to please. Today the greens were sanded and they are treating some spots in the fairways on the Players course, but no doubt will be perfect in no time.

excellent course, very friendly staff from the time your arrive and depart, great pace of play

Only problem the fairways are too wet, balls do not go anywhere and they get muddy after every shot !

The best course I have played out of season. I'm sure the place is amazing during the winter time. The mango towel was a life saver. Staff was great. 5 star treatment from start to finish

I loved the course but that might just be because I shot my personal low there. That always seems to help! Definitely a balance of holes from easy to quite challenging depending on what tee box you decide to play. The greens rolled very true and were consistent across all 18 which was nice to see. The staff was friendly and the beverage cart was around every other hole to make sure we were stocked with extra ice and whatever else we needed. Water stations were also spaced every third hole so hydration wasn't a problem at all. The GPS on the carts were great and allowed for a better understanding of your layup or tee shot with the use of a touch screen. Sand was consistent and quite manageable assuming you didn’t get to aggressive. Some of the bunkers had steep lips and made for a good penalty. The only knock in my opinion were the last 3 holes. They clearly have had some growth problems in a few areas either around the green or in the fairways which have been resodded. That being said the greens were not affected and frankly it didn't have too much of an impact other than aesthetics.

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

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.

Ok course but it does not stand out in a golf community.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Beautiful course. Very friendly staff. A must play when visiting Palm Springs

The greens were burned out and hard for this time of the year. The rest of the course was excellent.

Played the Players Course, great course. GPS on cart made my first time playing there very enjoyable.

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.

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!

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?

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.

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.
