Just want to provide some follow up to DavidZ who played back in July. You probably caught the Celebrity Course during the summer transition (where there is a transition from the winter ryegrass to the summer bermuda). This transition process occurs at virtually every desert course at some period (depending on how long they keep the rye around, seeding rates, etc.) Course conditions now are excellent.

We brought 100+ golfers to Indian Wells Golf Resort for our national team championships on Sept 13 & 14. Golfers from all over the country came to play in the event. The course conditions were exceptional. Fairways were pure, green rolling smooth, tees were perfect. Conditions are going to keep getting better as the course completes overseeding and players this fall/winter can tee it up on the winter ryegrass (that is more emerald green and striped perfectly).

The IW Club/Clubhouse was open /complete and got rave reviews from many in attendance. Some likened the new clubhouse to that of a W hotel. In fact Sat afternoon we just hung out there and watched the USC/Ohio State game in the posh bar/grille area on the LG flat screens. We even held our welcome reception outside on the fun IW Putting Course.

Other comments from golfers in attendance included: "Great service (but not too over the top)", "am planning on bringing my foursome back for a golf vacation", "Looking forward to watching the Skins Game this Thanksgiving to see how Phil does on the course I played"

This is the newly renovated course partly used for the LG Skins Game. At this time of the year, they have plenty of bottled water and ice with towels included to dry off or cool down. Their GPS is outstanding but I have to admit that I still resort to playing by eye and the seat of my pants. 85 isn't bad on this bugger for a hot June morning (7AM). Fairways vary from tight to very fair.
Nice fluffy sand in the traps and they are numerous!!! Only had to hit out of two! Greens weren't running fast because of the early morning syringing. Marshal told me they would be about 11
that afternoon. One of those courses that has to be played more than once to know the right lines off the tees. I liked all of the forced carries from the teebox. Not quite your typical "desert golf" layout. Went for the green with a short flag on #12(248yds)
and managed a bird from 12' after my 1st swing. Remember,I am a 60 yr old geezer! Have to play more in the desert.......

eatmon - Rancho Palos Verdes 
Played the course on 5/17/08 with 8:00 am tee time. No one pushing us, though our foursome was slow at times (two relative beginners.) Course was immaculate; picturesque views and fair but not easy. Construction continues on clubhouse and eating area is in either tent by the pro shop or outside by the first tees. Not a cheap place to play ($130) but well worth the cost. Lunch special was a bartain: burger, chips and a beer (Import or Domestic) for $8. I highly reccommend the Celebrity course.

JohnnyGK - Westlake Village 
I finally got a chance to play the newly designed Indian Well Golf Resort (Celebrity Course) last Thursday. Wow, what a treat. This course is gorgeous. Immaculately kept, beautifully manicured, waterfalls, and flowers everywhere. Beauty is a big part of the Indian Wells Golf Resort experience and the management certainly wants to keep it that way by evidence of a local rule which allows golfers free drops from flower inhabited areas. The Celebrity Course is certainly visually attractive while at the same time extremely challenging and fair. The course would not be the host of the LG SKINS game if it was a push over. Something else I liked about the course was its traditional hole selection of 14 par 4’s, 2 par 5’s and 2 par 3’s. You never find that anymore with new designs. Personally, I love the fact I get to tee up the driver 16 times. The thing is there are no let down holes out there either. Every hole is beautiful and every hole requires a contemplative approach to score well.

Oh, something I found a blast was they have a 9 hole putting course with a stream and little bunkers. It was tough!

As far as service, Indian Wells Golf Resort does it right. We saw the refreshment cart 6 times during our round, the first tee assistance was very informative, the bag service excellent and the starter/golf shop staff professional/courteous.

goody - Seattle 
We had a group of 10 well traveled golfers play this course last week. We paid $130/each and everyone agreed it was worth it. In our opinion, it is the prettiest course we have ever played. Handicaps ranged from 10 to 30 and all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Perfectly manicured with varying challenges depending on the tees selected. The only drawback was the fact that the clubhouse was not finished so it currently is housed in a large tent. Like the rest of the course, this looks to be spectacular. Indian Wells spent on fortune on these upgrades - showcased in The Skins Game - and it shows. Especially recommended for couples.

Yes, per caligolfer1031 Indian Wells Golf Resort is closed to complete the construction of the new clubhouse (the IW Club) and put the final touches on the new practice facility and the new Players Course (designed by John Fought).

The Clive Clark-designed Celebrity Course at Indian Wells Golf Resort will host the 25th LG Skins Game on Thanksgiving weekend (so tune in). Then both the Celebrity Course and the NEW Players Course will open for play on Tuesday November 27, 2007!

We hope to see many Greenskeeper.org players tee it up on these new courses at Indian Wells Golf Resort.

sammyb40 - Redlands/Mentone 
Lets start off by saying this is a very fine course and worth the 60-65 $ bucks they charge for summer rates.. This course had some very narrow fairways and hard/fast greens but really enjoyed the layout.. Some very scenic holes so bring a camera. I love some of the short & drivable par 4's!!! My buddy and I both said we would play this course again for sure...

I have been playing this NEW course since it opened,we play on SUNDAY's and the PIN's are in the same place every time we play!! Condition's have gotton worse since it opened with the green's really having a hard time. Playing with a resident is the ONLY way to play this course or the rates will kill you.

Played the course at 3PM. Great time to tee off, with the late sun. Beautiful course. Each nine different. In great shape. Much improved over the old course. The holes were classic and very scenic. Some wierd tee shots, that could use some local knowledge. Looking forward to seeing the New East course.
