Indian Wells Golf Resort - Players Course

Any review is not fair or accurate as the couse is undergoing a new routing and construction. Can't wait to play it next year to see how they did.

Half of the fairways are dead, as is most of the rough. They are doing work on the course and apparently applied some treatment to the grass that killed it. It was like playing in concrete for most of the holes. There were multiple groups taking forever on the greens lining up puts like they were playing on Sunday at Augusta. Left after 11 holes when it was going to be a 5 hour round. It’s clearly a nice course with a good layout, but the conditions are awful right now and due to that they aren’t enforcing pace of play.

I loved playing this course. Lots of sets of tees perfectly set for a wide range of handicaps. Greens were sloppy and fun. GPS in the carts was very helpful. Staff was super friendly (yes even in the clubhouse!!), especially the starter and the course marshal. Snack cart lady made an amazing Bloody Mary, so I had 2. Only issue was that the grass on the greens was a little thin, like maybe they just did a verticut and top dress. They were still very smooth and fast, but just not “perfect.” Overall I had a wonderful experience.

Fun day at the Players. Greens rolling well but challenging for our group to make putts

Very good overall experience, starting from valet parking service, launch monitors at every practice range station, course was great shape, cart girl was friendly and had sandwiches and hotdogs.

Fairways were in great shape after the overseeding greens were on the slow side which we were warned about
Pace of play was excellent finished in 3.5 hours will be back next trip to Palm Springs

Pace of play was unacceptable given cart technology and apparent marshal on site. Most concerning was the response from staff when I asked to speak with management, from two different employees “ they’re never around, sorry..” unfortunately I left with a negative opinion of course and staff. Hopefully this isn’t the standard you’re shooting for!

Good challenge and friendly staff. Recommend… but play off the right tee box for your handicap.

Awesome staff . Very good condition considering early June . Apparently Celebrity course has several greens in very bad shape . Players greens in good condition in general. Only bad experience is we never saw a refreshment cart the entire day . At 106 degrees a beer or 2 would have been nice .
