I had the pleasure of a round of golf at the Indian Canyon Golf Resort here in Palm Springs.  This was my first time there and I was not disappointed. The layout was excellent even though it is not as long as other courses.  It is just under 6000 feet from the white tee’s and a par 72 total.

When I arrived I was greeted by a great new clubhouse and restaurant. The attendants were very friendly and I had my rental clubs and cart within minutes. They even gave me a free token for the grass driving range! The fee was low as this is “power raking” time for re-seeding but did not really effect the course conditions other than look.  The greens were dry but overall in great condition.

The scenery was outstanding and the pace of play was above normal. There are allot of sand traps ( I found my fair share) strategically placed on the course and if you are a 250 yard drive person like me, accuracy helps as I was in a few fairway bunkers which didn’t help my score. This course is also very forgiving but be careful of the water hazards and the OB on a few holes. These are well marked and it helps to download the course layout from the site before playing.

Overall, this was a great outing and I would definitely play there again.

To your golf travels,

I just posted some information and pictures on the “places to Visit In Palm Springs” Page. The “Living Desert” Zoo is a great place to go to while visiting the Coachella Valley in California. Here is the LINK to the page.

Enjoy!
