Indian Springs

Played the Blues (6386/70.7/124) in 2H, 45M as a single on dawn patrol. The weather was warm bordering on hot, breezy and partly cloudy.

The course was in pretty good condition for late summer.

The Bermuda tees were lush and maintained long. I had no issue finding a level stance with good grass on all tees.

The Bermuda fairways were lush and played well. They are also maintained long, which makes the course play longer because of the lack of roll.

The Bermuda rough was generally good, it plays better than it looks. The rough around the greens is very lush.

The greens were smooth, firm, medium speed and putted well. However, even well struck irons would release, stopping it even relatively close to your ball mark was almost impossible.

The sand traps were very nice, well maintained with medium texture brown sand.

The customer service was excellent from everyone encountered. The carts are equipped with GPS. This would be a challenging course to walk because numerous tees are a hike from the last green because the course is split up between three different residential complexes. Fairly wide open layout with a good mixture of holes.

Good but not a great course, fun to play. Recommended if you desire a more modestly priced course in the Palm Springs area that is not too demanding.

Awesome course

This will be my go to golf course when I return to the Palm Springs area. The layout was nice with some challenging holes. The course is well maintained. From the tee box to the greens and everything in between. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The themed restaurant and bathrooms were memorable. We played this course in 4 hours. Bravo!

Didn’t disappoint

Very windy, but still enjoyed the round due to great staff and course conditions. A slow group ahead, but played through and it was smooth sailing.

All holes somewhat similar.

Not much variation in terrain. Enjoyed the par 3's . Water and bunkers tricky. It was hot and quite windy but overall a great day.

Not a bad place to play

Course was in much better conditions compared to what it is like in summer and early fall. Course was busy at lunch but even with a 1pm tee time there was no back up or waiting. Would not pay full price but the cheaper afternoon prices make it worth it.

Too Slow!

The course is a very good public course but they pack golfers on the course and don’t monitor pace of play. A 4:45 round is too slow!
