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"

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.
