There are two golf courses at Indian Wells Resort – the Celebrity Course and the Players Course. Many golfers claim the former is the most popular, as it features dynamic bunkering, generous fairway corridors, and undulating topography. The Players Course is aesthetically fascinating and challenging for all golf players, regardless of their skill level. It was designed by prominent architect John Fought and opened in 2007. The Players Course is located within walking distance of the resort’s hotel and can be the ideal place to host a tournament, corporate event, or group outing.

The golf course features a classic American design, with sculpted bunkers reminiscent of Riviera. John Fought was able to seamlessly integrate numerous stately trees present on the original properties into his new design to impart the unique feel of a much older facility while delivering a modern approach to golf course design. Most holes are oriented to take full advantage of the breathtaking views of the San Jacinto, Santa Rosa, and San Bernardino mountain ranges. The most memorable holes are par fives at the 7th and 9th on the front nine.
