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.

Pushy Marshall
This course is average in playability for the Palm Desert area but Carrie’s a big price tag. No help with getting the bags in and out of the cars. Driving range is nice, carts with GPS good. The big challenge was that the Marshall on the third hole said we were holding up the group behind even though it was 25 mins after we teed off. The group behind frequently hit up on us while we were on the green or walking to carts. We finished nine and turned in 1 hour 5-0 minutes even though the suggested time allocation was 2 hrs 20 minutes. Some of the players in our foursome did not feel they could putt since the foursome behind kept hitting up on us. It was a very unpleasant round at the resort.
Fantastic resort and course
First class resort and wonderful course, beautiful and challenging but fair. Every hole provides superb views of the desert mountains, but you'll also experience the perfectly manicured course, along with awesome vegetation and trees.
Really good - not great
Rough was a little burned out not as plush as the neighboring celebrity course. Good pro shop. Lots of water on the course. Pace was bit slow to start and then picked up nicely. I think the group in front of us either got a nudge or picked up the pace when they saw us waiting for the first 3-4 holes.
Greens were fast maybe a 11 and true. Did not like the traps not enough sand but that may what to expect given the sometimes windy conditions.
Neal’s first
Great track , nestled into the mountains,, no sign there is a world out here.
Club selection
This is an xlent test of golf. Course was in great shape. You must make club selection a priority and your round will be enjoyable. Great layout.
great golf course. greens were moderate to fast and in great shape. hit the ball at your target, off line shots will get you in trouble and cost you. i found taking extra club was helpful at avoiding being short in the bunkers.
Awesome Track
Really nice! Much more of a challenge than the Celebrity Course, but fair. Pick your tees, pick your poison. This would be a test from the back tees.
One note: greens rolled great, but had a ton of ball marks. Across the street for half the cost, greens are close to perfect but a hair slower
Course was in fair condition, played pga west mountain and stadium course both were in better condition for same price, would not recommend for price should be a 80 course
Great place to spend my birthday!
Fun golf course! Wonderful conditions, challenging, but fun. You could get away with missing a shot occasionally. I played pretty well and it made for a birthday I won’t soon forget. I’d highly recommend this as a must during a vaccination stay in the Palm Springs area.
