Indian Wells Golf Resort - Players Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Love this course
Course was in AMAZING shape- especially the greens. Played in a foursome in less than 4 hours, which is a big win in my book. Lost a club on the course and the staff was kind enough to take me out to the hole that I thought I lost it at and helped me find it quickly. Definitely a challenging course, but lots of fun. A little pricey during peak season, but still a nice day.
Indian Wells Players Course
The course was in great shape. Pace of play was good. The group ahead of us apparently didn’t know that they could drive their cart on the fairways. They spent a lot of time running back and forth to their cart. The staff might remind them, which would improve pace. We went to the restaurant after golf, but we were turned away because they would only allow entry for those with a reservation. That seemed strange because no one was there. The hostess was not friendly, in contrast to the golf course personnel. The price was good because I filled an opening. Their regular prices are pretty high. I have played here multiple times, and I enjoyed it each time.
Unbelievable Condition
1. Amazing staff. Very friendly. Very helpful. Very upbeat and happy to be there.
2. I've not played a course in this good of shape in a long, long time. They even just re-seeded the fairways but you'd never know it. The greens were pristine. The traps were very playable, clean & soft (I know - I was in them all day!)
3. We had a group of much better golfers behind us and they kept hitting up on us... but we kept the pace up as fast as we could and it was never a problem.
Spectacular Sunrise
Impressive course. Fast greens. I was in the first group off and to watch the sunrise at the driving range was spectacular.
Indian Wells
Nice course, great facility and great staff. They've gone out of their way to 'normalize' the situation under C-19. Really appreciate that, but felt very safe at the same time. Highly recommend.
Great Course
In the summer heat, this course was in great shape. Nice layout and the staff was fantastic. I will be back to play here for sure.
My new favorite course!!!
Great course
Great course. Course is in great condition
Finished round in 3 and half hours. Had to wait on a couple of holes tho. Would of finished in 3 hours. Still fun tho
Heat will not keep me away
I have been wanting to play this course for years and finally had the opportunity today, on one of the hottest days of the summer. From the moment Tony greeted me at the bag drop I knew I was going to have a great day. He was very helpful in orienting me with the course and practice areas and helping to get me off to a great start. The conditions were great, greens a little quick with the heat, but the course played true and challenging. Yellow tees today didn't make for too many long tee shots, but the layout was challenging and fun at the same time. The Marshalls made sure we stayed hydrated and the cart attendants made several passes. Looking forward to coming back out to the desert so I can play the course again!
GREAT STAFF, GREAT GOLF COURSE
WAS FIRST GROUP OFF, PLAYING AT A GOOD PACE TILL THE TURN AND SLOWED WAY DOWN DUE TO THE FACT THAT GROUPS WERE STARTING ON THE BACK NINE. VERY SLOW BACK NINE!!!!!
Course in excellent condition for late July
Everything from the tee boxes to the greens was in very good condition. Highly recommend this course.
Great Test
This course was an awesome test of golf. It is plenty long and the fairway bunkers are placed in perfect spots. Greens were punched about 2 weeks ago but were fine. Everything else was in awesome shape especially given the time of year. Probably one of my top favorites out in the desert. Will definitely be back.
Beautiful conditions but bar and facility closed
Great conditions and beautiful course. The bar and other facilities were closed. About a 4.25 hour round and staff was awesome!
Best conditions
Best course condition of any public course we have played in the desert
