About the Course
Host to the Epson Tour Championship and Golf Channel's Big Break series, Indian Wells Golf Resort - Players Course ranks #30 in Golfweek's 'Best Courses You Can Play' nationally and #18 in California. Nicknamed 'The Beast' for good reason, this 7,300-yard layout features meticulously sculpted bunkers in the style of Riviera, Winged Foot, and Dr. Alistair Mackenzie's Melbourne masterpieces. The signature par-3 17th plays 146 yards with a water hazard jutting left to guard most of the green, framed by dramatic views of the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto mountain ranges. The short par-4 11th tempts big hitters to drive the green, with water protecting both sides creating a high-stakes risk-reward moment. Meandering streams, rolling fairways, and tight, protected greens present multiple shot options on every hole—this strategic versatility earned it #9 among America's best municipal courses by Golfweek.
