Players Course
Indian Wells, CA, USA
Players Course at Indian Wells Golf Resort is where desert golf sheds its sterner visage for a more genial, resort-style experience. Designed in the modern era, the course presents a stark contrast to its more rugged desert brethren, offering a gentler, more forgiving landscape characterized by broad fairways and accessible greens. It doesn't punish wayward shots with the same severity, appealing to a wider range of golfing abilities, but beware the water features scattered throughout. Architects Clive Clark and John Cook sought to craft a layout that prioritized enjoyment over unrelenting challenge. The result is a course that favors strategic positioning and thoughtful club selection over raw power. While it might not test the mettle of tour professionals, the Players Course has hosted the Golf Channel Am Tour National Championship, lending it a touch of competitive gravitas. Located in the heart of the Coachella Valley, with its stunning mountain backdrops, the Players Course boasts a convivial atmosphere. Its design philosophy is all about accessibility, making it a popular choice among locals and visitors seeking a pleasant round in a picturesque setting. The club enjoys a strong local following, known for its laid-back vibe and social events, which often center around the expansive clubhouse and patio overlooking the 18th green.

For me, this is the best public in the desert.
Fun round, very challenging. Good spot if you’re in the area, but competitive market for a round should push you towards some other clubs in the area first. Still, I’d recommend checking it out if you can. Great conditions, challenging layout.
