Indian Wells Golf Resort
Indian Wells Golf Resort features two championship 18-hole courses set in the scenic Coachella Valley desert. With a parkland-style Celebrity Course and a strategic, firmer Players Course, the resort caters to golfers of all levels seeking diverse challenges amid year-round playable conditions.
Course Overview
Indian Wells Golf Resort in the sun-soaked desert of Southern California offers a premier golfing experience with two distinct 18-hole championship courses designed to challenge and engage every player. The Celebrity Course weaves through lush palms and mature date trees, presenting a scenic parkland layout that stands in contrast to the Players Course, which offers a firmer, more strategic test featuring wide fairways and fast greens that reward precision and thoughtful shot-making.
Set against a backdrop of towering mountains and constant clear skies, the resort’s terrain gently undulates, creating subtle elevation changes that add variety to the round without overwhelming. This balance provides playability suited for a wide range of skill levels. While the Celebrity Course entices with generous landing areas and broad, green surrounds guarded by artfully placed bunkers, the Players Course demands tighter shot placement and spotlights putting skills on true, smooth surfaces.
The consistently warm, dry climate allows for year-round golf, with course conditions maintained to the high standards expected of a top-ranked facility in California. Both courses offer serene water features and stretches of natural desert vegetation that frame each hole, quietly testing patience and club selection. The pace of play is paced thoughtfully, with wide cart paths and options for walking or riding.
Beyond the course, Indian Wells provides a full resort atmosphere with a well-appointed clubhouse, pro shop, practice facilities, and dining venues that blend desert charm with casual elegance. Golfers can plan their visit with confidence knowing that staff and amenities cater to both leisure players and serious competitors.
Whether you seek a rewarding challenge or a relaxed round beneath expansive skies, Indian Wells Golf Resort’s dual courses deliver diverse experiences that remain accessible and inviting. It’s an ideal destination for players looking to mix competitive golf with scenic beauty and professional service in a celebrated Southern California golf setting.
Course Highlights
Two contrasting championship courses offer a blend of parkland and desert styles with scenic mountain vistas. The Celebrity Course boasts lush greenery and flowing fairways lined with palms, while the Players Course challenges with strategic bunkering, firm greens, and desert landscaping. Both layouts maintain impeccable conditions year-round, supported by extensive practice facilities.

Amazing Resort and course. We really enjoyed the weather, the pace of place, the facilities and the staff. Just great and enjoyable few days in Palm Springs. Can't wait to go back.
Bonnie Irby
The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The food and drinks at the outdoor restaurant were delicious. The room was a nice layout. We enjoyed the movie night, pool choices and lazy river. Our mini-fridge took a day and a half to cool down, the AC was so loud we turned it off at night so that we could rest. We reserved a cabana one day, I would not suggest; not enough perks to justify the price and food/drink on the pool deck were cost prohibitive.
Matthew Thomas
Amazing facility to say the least. It is the only 36-hole facility in California with both courses ranked in the Top 20 “Best Courses You Can Play” in California. Conditions are always spectacular. It’s simply the best golf course you’ll be able to play without having to buy a membership at a fancy private club.

Loved this place. Two courses, played both. Greens were in great shape. The Celebrity Course is greatly different from the Players course. Celebrity is more green and scenic in my opinion.
