Rating 72.0

If you're sick of getting beat up and spit out by all the big-name, big-bite courses in the Palm Springs resort area paradise of La Quinta, Big Rock Golf & Pub at Big Rock Golf & Pub at Indian Springs could be the course for you.

This track provides a reprieve from the hacker battering. The design is pretty straight forward. Water only comes into play on two holes. The fairways are mostly flat.

Golfers can get into trouble in the desert areas bordering some holes, but as long as you're not too wild, the pain should be kept to a minimum. Big Rock Golf & Pub at Indian Springs is all about golf as a fun escape.

It's not a course that feels like it must make hackers prove something. The slope rating at this John Gurley Sr. design is 127 for men, 120 for women.

No one to be found

Longest round of the year.
Very slow and no one other the starter who was on the 10th tee. Big Rock had some kind of concert going on that night and it was clear where their priorities laid.
Started us on the 10th tee, the restaraunt was closed to the public and after nearly 5 hours we had to quit after 14 holes.
Affordable Hot Deal but still not worth the hassle.

Great course...could use MORE bathrooms on a hot day.

The course was great and the staff was very attentive. They checked on my several times with fresh ice, cleaned my clubs and even switched out my golf cart.

Big Rock well worth the visit

Nice course. Was partnered with 3 terrific members who knew their way around. Overall round enjoyable but slow play detracted from overall round. Course supervisor was aware of delays but really didn’t seem interested in speeding anyone up.

Needs course marshall

The group of 3 playing behind us found it amusing to see how close they could hit up behind us. Happened 5 times on the front 9. Take away the par 3's where they didn't, that is basically 5 out of 7 holes. I expressed my concern after 9 and the started k ew who it was and noted that he is a good golfer and would talk to him.... Good golfer doesn't stand above golf etiquette. Back 9 was better but a course Marshall could and. Should have stopped it.

Disappointing as it was a beautiful day in a nice golf course.

Course was good. Enjoyed it. Could be more senior friendly with shorter holes by adding another tee box.

Great course!!

This is great course and in really good condition as well. Fast and true greens and fairways in great condition as well. My one and only complaint would be that the bunkers were very firm and could use some additional sand or raking. I would definitely recommend and would come back to play again.
