Played Indian Wells Players course today and the first since they did the major remodel and moving holes 17 and 18 to the north side of the wash that runs between the property. They replaced most of the greens, bunkers, altered hole number 9 and a host of other things to make the course more playable or as they (city of IW) more walkable. The statement seems laughable because it’s a resort course and who is going to pay 250+ to walk the course. It is narrow in some holes and wider at others but make no mistake walking although good for one’s health probably not advisable here. Oh did I mention that all the greens are rock hard? If you watched the LPGA at Shadow Creek this weekend you’ll understand what I mean. I play there with friends from my tennis club who are residents and pay 50.00 any day of the week from November through May, then 35 for the summer. Guests and Indian Wells Tennis members pay 80-110 Rack rate is anywhere from 225-275. The course opened in November but it is still a little rough around the edges so if you were planning on playing there I would stick to the Celebrity for now until the Players course matures a little more.
