We played Indian Canyons South today at 10:30 fast round less then 3 and half hours....course is so nice, fairways like hitting off brand new driving range mats, green putt so true at medium speeds it was like someone else was using my putter...fairly easy course and my wife loves it because it is only 4,700 yards from red tees completely fair for this over 70 lady (she did hit one in the water so only shot 84). If you play with your wife this is the place she can beat you.

Rode the Blacks (6560/71.1/123) in slightly less than 4H mid day on a GN "Hot Deal". 103, clear and fairly calm. Age is truly only a number. Met Mary and Perky for the first time on #1 tee. I would guess that if you added up what their birth certificates say they probably total 150 years between them. Extremely nice ladies and pretty good sticks, they have a good time and act/think much younger! IC South is shorter and a more picturesque layout that it's sister North course. 2004 redesign by Amy Alcott/Casey O'Callaghan. Would be a challenging layout to walk, hole 15 is away from the rest of the course on the other side of a housing track. Mostly generous fairways with a decent amount of large water hazards to navigate over on several approach shots. One double green (10/17), and numerous greens have runoff areas mowed down like a links style course, while others have deep rough just off the green. Tees were mostly lush and well maintained for divots. Fairways lush and nice to play from. Rough semi lush and mostly mowed down, good POP rough. Sand traps decently maintained with fine quality sand. Greens firm and putted medium fast speed. Front 9 greens were a 9/10, excellent/smooth. Back 9 greens had been punched with small tines and were more like a 6/10. Very good customer service, quick efficient check-in and the starter was friendly and informative. Prepaid but all check in is done outside. Kudos to Sang in the cart barn, exceptional customer service. Drink cart out making the rounds. Bottled water and ice provided. All grass range with complementary balls. Fun layout to play, recommended.

Played Indian Canyons South on 3/7/21 at 7am for $115. After seeing a couple of reviews on other sites regarding the behavior of the staff/starter, I was ready for some action. Little did I know that everyone was helpful/friendly 100% of the time on the course. Arrived at 6:25 to hit a few balls (not included in fee), greeted by the starter on the range at 6:40 to let us know the box is ours at our discretion. Many people might feel "rushed" when the starter does his job, but I like it when they do everything within their power to make sure pace of play is the #1 priority. Onto the course! What a phenomenal course in terms of VALUE for an early weekend tee-time. I did not expect it to be Indian Wells and while it wasn't, it still had it's charm. I was impressed with the value and pace of play, two key pieces of the puzzle for me. The first couple holes are fantastic in terms of layout/scorability. Never in my life have I seen so many palm trees placed on a course as a defensive strategy, and it works. The course could certainly be more challenging and felt "tight" at times in between fairways. You can spray it around off the tee on certain holes if you simply avoid the water. I wish the length was slightly longer to stretch things out, but they have mostly maximized the space. Major complaints are simply the greens on Par 3s. More pitch marks that I could count and I feel as though that can be addressed. Tee boxes also are not level from the back tees on all holes and can be very small. If you are looking for a fun/affordable course with above average conditions, this is it. Great views and fair price. I forgot to mention multiple pins cut on noticeable slopes. Slightly frustrating for sure.

Recent twilight round out at Indian Canyons (South) and the course is currently in fantastic shape. It's a fun, resort-course layout with lots of water in play, plenty of mammoth sized palm trees and fast, fun greens. We played from the teal markers and, while not super long, it's made up for with the need to make the right club selection to take hazards out of play.

The greens are in very nice shape right now with super coverage, fast speeds and true lines. Some of the patrons are not doing a great job of fixing their ball marks, but that's about the only knock on them right now. The fairways are lush and provide a perfect hitting surface, while the rough is thick and penal but a firm, committed strike will get you what you need.

Bunkers were in good shape with nice sand just a touch below the perfect fluffy stuff, while the only knock on the place were some of the crowned and sloping tee boxes on a good number of the holes. Makes no sense, but they're there. Really hope they get those fixed.

Carts are nice but no GPS so it's helpful to have your own, especially on blind holes like the par 5 3rd. There are five par 3s on this course, five par 5s and eight par 4s, so it's a good mix and always keeps you on your toes. POP was a fine four hours for the afternoon, getting done just as cool breezes picked up after the sun dips behind San Jacinto.

Really well organized and taken care of course so don't miss it if you're in the area.

Played today with an 8:10 am tee time. Check-in is at the bag drop. I was early so I got my cart and headed to the range for a while. The people I was scheduled to play with didn’t show up on time so I was then paired with a wonderful threesome from Alaska.

This course is so much fun. The fairways are huge but there is plenty of potential trouble from the many bunkers and water hazards. Conditions were fantastic. There was not a brown blade of grass to be seen anywhere on the fairways or rough- just beautiful lush, green grass. The rough is about 2 inches and dense enough to let the ball sit up nicely. The tee boxes are all uniform in size and shape, level with few divots. The bunkers have lots of clean, soft fluffy sand. The greens were a bit thin with quite a few scars, but were firm, fast and rolled true. Lots of undulations made these large greens really interesting.

Covid precautions were a bit mixed. Masks are required around the clubhouse. The carts had coolers and bottled water, but no seed mix. No rakes or ball washers on the course. The pro-shop was closed but they had both indoor and outdoor dining. The patio was completely full at lunchtime.

The beverage cart came by 4 times. POP was just under 4 hours. I had a great time and look forward to a return visit. Definitely recommended.

Rode the Blacks (6560/71.1/123) in 2H, 40M as a single mid day on a GN "Hot Deal". 108, hazy and fairly calm. The layout features mostly generous fairways with a decent amount of large water hazards to navigate over on several approach shots. One double green, and numerous greens have runoff areas mowed down like a links style course, while others have deep rough just off the green. Bermuda tees were good in the areas they placed the markers. Many had brown/dead spots that they were staying away from. Bermuda fairways were lush and nice to play from. Bermuda rough was semi lush and mostly mowed down, good POP rough. Sand traps were decently maintained for COVID. Good quality fine sand the ones I was in. Bermuda greens were firm and putted medium speed. The middle 95% of the greens were good, many of the outer edges had scalped/bare spots. Very good customer service, they got me out ahead of my tee time. Drink cart out making the rounds. No water available on the course and pro shop closed to the public, all check in done outside. All grass range closed today. Redesigned by Amy Alcott/Casey O'Callaghan in 2004, the South is shorter and a more picturesque layout that it's sister North course. This would be a challenging layout to walk, the hole 13-16 loop goes away from the rest of the course. Fun layout to play, recommended.

Play date: 01.20.20 A beautiful day here for my first time on this course. Although the crisp cool temps lingered longer because of the hills around it, the temps did get to its high 60s with very little wind if any... great day! The pro shop and its staff were all attentive and very accommodating making sure we've got what we needed was a pleasant welcoming. The course conditions were good. Starting with the teeing grounds, it is old school, having small knoll in the middle, but they were lush. The fairways were also good- it runs well without having mud on the ball, and they were tightly cut and lush. The rough were not overly long and penalizing with some areas having shorter length than the 3-4 inches in many of the areas. The greens were medium slow, but they were smooth and were okay. The bunkers had plenty of sand in it and they were fair. I like this golf course for its simplicity and classic style that many including me could play it everyday, but not necessarily walk it as a few of the holes were far from each other. The one thing I did not like were the duck poop on the course near their lakes and some other places. The beverage cart came around a few times which was nice.

Played on 9/27, Course looks good with fairways and greens in nice condition. Played as a single and finished in 3 hours. Club house personnel were very friendly and got me out quickly. Nice all grass driving range to warm up on, no GPS on the carts but nice visible boulders as markers at 150 and 100 on all of the fairways
