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 desert course

Indian Wells Resort players course is of the best courses in the desert. Tee boxes and fairways were lush with only minor patches of no grass. Greens had great pace. Ii highly recommend this course and the Celebrity course, which is the most picturesque course in the desert.

Highly Recommended

Overall great course, well thought out layout with no two holes alike, good mix of short and long holes, dog leg lefts and rights, strategic use of water and bunkering both fairway and greenside. Course conditions must be noted - excellent tee to green and I would have to say some of the best greens I've ever played.

My only complaint is lack of food options mid round - the routing is such that you don't end at the clubhouse after nine so no chance to eat, given this I was a little disappointed with the on course food cart. This is only a minor point and only impacted me as we had a 10Am tee time playing through lunch. Could have been better prepared if I had known but was first time playing course.

I love these two courses

Both courses at Indian Wells Resort are great! Always in good condition, always helpful personnel. My only negative comment is that they are very pricey and i can not afford to play them more often.

Best Course I have played

Greeted in the parking lot - great start! As a first time player of this course, the staff took extra time to explain how things worked. Great driving range,, the best practice green I have ever seen. The course is challenging, but not contrived, as some are to create difficulty. Course maintenance is outstanding, greens are perfect. The views from the course are a beautiful bonus.
