Indian Wells Golf Resort - Celebrity Course

well designed course and excellent facilities - the only sight negative is speed of play, but we were unlucky to get caught behind 4 guys who should find another sport because they have no hope of breaking 100 at golf. Drones should be employed to fly the course and do a better job of keeping the field moving.

I played the celebrity course. The conditions were great. The greens ran true. The fairways were immaculate. The tee boxes were great. The scenery was beautiful. A little pricey, but a great round.

It took us 2.5+ hours to play 9 holes. At hole #12, there were 3 tee times stacked up on the tee box. If we didn’t have people dropping out ahead of us and also with our group, it would have taken us 6+ hours.

Apparently a wedding party had the first 4 tee times and slowed down the entire day. No one tried to get them to speed up play. So they just take our money ($260/person) and subject us to a free for all. Don’t play here!

This may be the most impressive course in the C. Valley. Expensive, yes. But it's worth it, at least for one round.

This may be the most beautiful course in the Coachella Valley. Well designed and elegant. The driving range was off mats, though each stall is organized like a TopGolf module, with couches and a video ball tracker. Pretty cool, though I'd rather hit off grass. Overall, the round was expensive but worth it.

Very pretty course and in good shape but very slow play. Think other courses in the area provide better value for the money.

beautiful course. Excellent practice range. Top rate merchandise in the pro shop!!!!

Course was in perfect shape. Every hole is worth a picture. Memorable round.

Wow, what a lovely place to play golf. This had the potential to be a top experience for me, but it was not due to issues somewhat outside of the course's control.

The good: This is a fantastically beautiful place! Perfect conditions, lovely views, nice people—I would normally absolutely go again.

The bad: As a single, I got paired with three players. Two were locals who only paid $35 to play compared to my $215! Ouch. The fourth was a visitor as well. The locals showed up late and we got held back waiting on them - that should not be allowed and for $35 bucks, they probably did not think the same as me. All three were slow. Two because they were playing from the back and hitting balls all over creation, and the guest was just SLOW. I filmed him on a 60-yard wedge shot. From the club section to hitting the ball (he airmailed the green BTW), it took him a minute and 20 seconds to hit the shot. Think Sergio from several years back.

We were asked by the Ranger to speed up three times before the 8th hole with every justification. After hitting my tee shot on 10, I told them I had to get the car back to the rest of my party at hotel and was going to jump ahead. I skipped 11 and 12, which put me off and played multiple balls the rest of the way. The ranger was nice enough not to be put off that I left my group as some can be. He said he would have done the same as he could see I was trying to push them from the 2nd hole on. We played the front in 2:40 and the group in front of us probably did it in 1:40! I thought about asking for a rain check as it ruined my chance to enjoy the place.

What does the Golf World think about my asking these folks to comp me a round if I am ever back here? Is that reasonable? I played most of the course, but I had zero enjoyment for the first 3 hours.

Absolutely beautiful course. Every hole could be a page in a golf calendar. Tee options were perfect for my level of play. Lots of bunkers to keep your attention. Cascading creeks and pools make for amazing beauty. Staff and marshals are friendly and welcoming. Only downside was that the grass on the greens wasn’t “prefect,” but still way better than most other courses. I highly recommend this course.

Course was in great shape. Staff very friendly. Greens were nice and quick. Super enjoyable round with my daughter and a friend.

Beautiful course. Very friendly staff. Great driving range. Great course conditions. Very slow pace of play was only negative. Very bad actually. Nice experience otherwise but definitely overpriced.

First time playing the course and it lived up to the hype. Super pretty and lush. Pay attention to the GPS as there is water on the back in places you cannot see with the naked eye. I see why people come back and play this course over and over again.
