Always a treat to get a chance to play golf, let alone at a course that fine tunes your iron play! It’s a gem of the desert!

Bump and grind

Be advised this is a poorly kept muni, with lots of total beginners on the course. Greens in poor condition, tee boxes even worse.

If all you want to do is practice your irons, this is ok, Don't worry about putting and chipping, because you won't really know how you are doing.

No sand traps, and water really not in play. Hard to get perspective of the greens with little backdrop and no indicators.

I won't be back.

A Great Walk!

I've played this course many times and I keep coming back. It's a fairly easy course....no sand traps and minimal water. I like to walk and enjoy the day and add golf to the mix. A great way to spend an afternoon without breaking the bank!

This course is always terrific and offers great value for 18 holes

I've been golfing here for over eight years and this course rarely disappoints. Whether it's the fantastic and helpful staff in the clubhouse or the shape of the greens I am always happy to golf here. The greens were especially fast on Thursday and combined with the wind it made it a challenge.

Pretty decent course!

The course was in decent shape with adequately fast greens and decently maintained fairways. Pace was a tad slow but who cares for $15? Still finished in 3 hours. If I was forced to find a negative, I’d say it has the feel of a 1960’s local “muni”. But hey, THATS WHAT IT IS - with 1960’s green fees too - if you use Golf Now to buy your tee time!

Great Par 3, easy walk

Played course on MLK Day, and it was not busy at all at noon. So pace of play was fast, as did not have to wait at all! Staff were very friendly and helpful, and maintenance workers were very courteous and friendly! They have done a great job on course maintenance, and this was good value fo the money!

Thanks.

Under the lights...

Walked the Blues (2777) for $22 with 2 nice Canadians in around 3H playing behind a 5some.

Interesting experience playing under the lights. Not a bad par 3 course, three longer holes between 190-230 along with a good mix of shorter holes. I think I used 8 different clubs to tee off with, so a good place to work on different irons on the course.

Humpbacked tees were pretty chewed up. Rough and fairways really do not come into play that much on a par 3 course, but they were fairly lush. No sand traps. The smallish greens putted fairly smooth and medium slow.

Customer service was excellent, they put me off on the back because they had a large group of regulars going off on the front. Decently stocked pro shop, looked like a decent grass range. All in all, better than I expected. Would come back again on an occasional basis.

A Surreal Experience But Worth The Price of Admission

This little course is located in a golf Mecca but does not really fit in with some of the other nearby options. Golfing under the lights is a novelty and you might want to try it if you have the opportunity.

The coarse is in poor condition and the addition of goose poop to the putting surface make taking a drop on the green a concideration. Talking about the greens, they are as slow as I have seen and in very poor shape with lots of dead spots.

Others comment that this coarse is a good value and it is since we only paid $15.00 to play. Who can say they have played under the lights?

The staff on this particular evening left much to be desired, not friendly and seemed distracted. I hate it when I show up to a place and it seems that I am imposing on the staff by being there.

Give it a try just say you have done it but be aware that you are living on the the fringe,

Welcome Back to Indio Lights!

I find this par three course to be like a familiar friend. My early AM tee time allowed me to have no one in front or behind me for a very relaxed outing. The mowers keep the fairways and greens in pristine shape. The varying pin placements keep the course challenging.

I'll be back!

Great place to work on your short game

Nice place to go and work on your irons and wedges. Great value on golf now, the guy in pro shop was very friendly and offered me an additional 9 holes for free. The only negative is that there isn't any water on the couse. It has a okay driving range also but will play again

Relaxing Golf

We love golfing here. We often golf Desert Springs but this course is so nice for of several reasons:

1) Everyone is friendly, including staff.

2) The fairways are narrow which makes it challenging.

3) It is slow paced. No one is telling you "10 minutes per hole"

4) Holes are close enough that if a group is very slow in front of you, you can skip over to the back 9 or front 9 when it is not busy. The staff never seem to have a problem.

5) Priced super reasonably.

6) Lots of benches at tee boxes - good for walkers!

Best value in the Valley!

Indio Lights is a terrific value for an extended executive course. Choosing a tee time in the early AM means perfect weather conditions and having the course almost to yourself. It is an excellent place to work on your short game with the bonus of a few holes in the 200 yard range. The greens are well groomed yet challenging to read. I prefer quality and value over glamour.
