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 views

Not cheap, but definitely a place you'll remember. Super friendly staff, great views, difficult but fair course. The only thing I didn't like was the mats on the driving range, but a small complaint about a course you'll love.

Beautiful course.

Great views with incredible scenery. The course just went thru its annual reseeding and in my opinion they shouldn't let you play the course when you have to play with your cart on the cart path only. Invariably I ended up on the opposite side of the fairway and it took a lot of my energy to play in the afternoon in 90-100 degree days and walk the course mostly. Just sayin.....
