Shadow Mountain Resort & Club

I had a chance to play the newly redesigned Players Course and it's amazing. Par 71 with 5 par 3's and 4 par 5's, the 7 new holes fit perfectly into the existing layout. They moved the old #17 and #18 back across the wash area to keep them on the N side with the other holes. It created returning 9's to the central area which makes sense. New Tees, greens, fairways and new while sand throughout the 18 holes with new desert landscaping on the entire course. Greens were a little hard being new, but rolled smooth and true. Nice 10+ speed as well for new is great. I walked which was part of the reason for the redesign which was an excellent experience. I can't wait to play it again.

Nice friendly staff. Simple non challenging course (Legend) but not in great shape. Many bunkers were flooded and wet soggy patches over.

Course conditions were poor; course layout was strange; at hole 12 we had 4 groups stacked up in front of us so we left. A lot of novice golfers.

Always love playing this course and I’ll be back just after the greens are punched!

I had a chance to play the newly redesigned Players course on opening day yesterday and it is great. Roughly 7 new or redesigned holes or more and they look and play great. They fit right into the existing holes really well. I was told all the greens, tees and bunkers were also redone on the entire course. Cart Paths only for a while maybe that slowed pace a little, but I walked so it was perfect. The new design make that really easy. They also have electric pushcarts if needed. Greens are smooth but a little slow since it’s early days but that will improve. Fairways are perfect ! Love playing the new track! Enjoy it, walk it!

I had a chance to play the newly redesigned Players course at the Indian Wells Golf Resort on its opening day! Amazing. The 5 new holes and those that were redesigned all fit perfectly into the existing layout. The whole course itself is in amazing shape after the new grasses this fall and overseeding. Many of the greens were enlarged and reshaped and are super smooth and look great. They are a little slow now but that should improve quickly. They are a little hard being new so that a little adjustment but will also improve with time and future aeration and top dressing. Pace of play is a little slow with Cart Paths only yesterday but that will change soon as well I’m told. You will love the new design. Walk if you can, really easy to do here now. The have electric pushcarts also so you don’t have to carry or push a cart. Enjoy! I did.

The course is in great condition. Beautiful grass! Fun and challenging. The course is well maintained and the employees are very knowledgeable and very professional.

I've played this course many time over the years and it always is in great condition. Pace of play was only slow because of the players in my group. Can't wait to get another tee time.

Overall nice day

Slow play

Bag drop could use improvements on arriving and after round

Directional signage could be better too

But overall nice course

Always enjoy playing the course, but hard to hit the ball with no or very little grass. Can’t wait for the overseeding to be done.

Starter has everything under control. Tee time was 6:50 AM, pace of play was three hours, it was great. Mr Grumpy in the pro shop, but don’t let him bother you. Each green on the legends course is raised. This course is 1959 and was the first in Palm Springs. Played with couple locals who were cool. The other course, the Resort, looked good too.

We like the course, but the play was so slow. We waited a group or two on every hole. One of our group quit at 9. We quit at 16.

This is the first time in Palm Springs for us. A friend said not to play here but it was close and we hadn’t swung a club for a few weeks. It is very very poor shape unfortunately. It’s wide open and would be a fun course to play but the fairways and greens aren’t only dry but in rough shape. Plus the cost is far too high for a course of this calibre.

Good for the price and nice pace of play.

At times the deals are great ... especially last minute deals.

The course is not in good shape for $120 per round. Got blasted with a sprinkler that went off right into our cart and drenched us. Talked to the staff and they didn’t give two craps about us. Won’t be back!!

Super fun all around!
