Indian Wells Golf Resort - Players Course

Great track , nestled into the mountains,, no sign there is a world out here.

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.

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

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.

Can't beat this course. Pace was a bit sluggish. Conditions were excellent.

Played on Veteran's Day with a 3-some from the Can. Course was in great shape. Just reopened from over-seeding it was in fantastic condition. Greens were rolling smooth and true. Great lies in the fairways. I was on Player Course. This is a resort course with wide open fairways, few water carries, large greens, and manageable rough. Great course for mid-high handicappers. It is a typical Player course however with deep bunkers and rolling fairways that rarely give you a flat/even lie. The bunkers were in great shape and easy to escape but tricky to get up and down when you're 8' below the green. I definitely recommend the course, amenities, and staff. Great place to play and I WILL be back.

Greens not too mysterious. Great pace, never waited. Plenty of water and ice on course. Not overly narrow.

I was disappointed that there was no sand to warm up in.

I was surprised to learn when I arrived at the course that it was still not completely ready from the overseed. Cart path only basically for that price is not a good value. Mats on the range are worn out as are the range balls.

Played JW Marriott before Indian wells and will not be back to Marriott. No comparison to Wells

The good:

- nice course

- good conditions

- friendly staff

- quick pace

The bad:

- We had the first tee time and 3 of the first 4 holes were directly into the sun. I think architects should take direction into account and not start headed east nor finish heading west, just to avoid the blinding sun for the early starters and later finishers.

- There are 3 or 4 holes with hazards that are not visible from where i was hitting the ball, so pay close attention to the GPS.

- Finally, to me it is way overpriced. If your an Indian wells resident you get a break, but, as a visitor, for a early fall tee time i felt it was more expensive than warranted.
