I'm 57

I'm 57 and I'm not a nut.

This course is awesome.

Staff is amazing

I don't know how the course could be much better during the high season.

True, quick greens, but not ridiculous.

Great fairways and tee boxes.

My only less than perfect review would be the bunkers. Personally, I think they would be better with a little more sand.

Awesome track

We honored Juneteenth by playing the

Indian Wells Celebrity course, for our first time. (Back home in Seattle they were protesting CHOP being excluded from the city Comprehensive Land Use Plan.) 🤣😂 An absolute gem. From the minute we arrived, the staff went out of their way to make sure we were welcomed and felt special. Damian, our starter, was ALL WORLD!! We would highly recommend the Celebrity course to anyone looking for a phenomenal golf course!!! ⛳️⛳️👏👏🏜️

Must play course in Indian Wells

Course is legendary & beautiful. Must play. Right now, greens were not in good condition, but usually top notch. Staff is great & clubhouse amenities are superior. Ate in the restaurant and would highly recommend it whether you play golf or not.

Great course, punched greens

Course is beautiful and would love to play in when the greens weren’t punched the day before. There was no notification of this and they charged full price.

RIP Firecliff?

Have played the course hundreds off times. Solid layout. Management appears to be bulldozing the features giving Firecliff the feel of a private course. One where each hole retains its privacy from surrounding fairways. Greens were money!

Pace of play was horrendous.

Outside staff are always professional.

Snag a Hot Deal. Don't pay the full nut.

Great course and great staff

Besides the course being an excellent condition and very fun to play, I would like to recognize Victor our waiter, who was extremely polite, funny, and made our dining experience, truly enjoyable, which we took to the course with a smile
