Indian Canyons Golf Resort, a jewel of Palm Springs since 1961, boasts a rich history and stunning desert landscape. Originally named Canyon Country Club, this 36-hole facility quickly became a favorite spot for Hollywood celebrities like Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope, and Jackie Gleason; even former U.S. Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Ronald Reagan graced its fairways. Set on 550 acres of the Agua Caliente Indian Reservation, the resort offers two distinct 18-hole golf courses, each reflecting its own unique character. The North Course, designed by William P. Bell, is a par 72, 6,943-yard course steeped in tradition. It meanders through Palm Springs' stylish “Canyon” region, offering stunning mountain views and a glimpse of authentic mid-century modern homes. Thousands of palm, olive, and native trees bring the course to life, and six challenging water hazards add to the experience. The Walt Disney fountain, located between the 9th and 18th holes, serves as the course's visual centerpiece, shooting water jets over 100 feet high. The South Course, redesigned by Casey O'Callaghan in 2004 with consultant Amy Alcott, an LPGA Hall of Famer, is an 18-hole championship course. This par 72, 6,582-yard course features four large lakes that come into play on six holes and five par-5 holes. Rolling mounds, fairways, and over 850 palm trees, including 500 Washingtonia filifera palm trees native to the Agua Caliente Tribe, enhance the course's beauty. Beyond golf, the resort provides a range of amenities, including a driving range and dining at The Olla Grille Restaurant. Indian Canyons Golf Resort offers an unrivaled golf experience in the Greater Palm Springs Area, surrounded by breathtaking mountain vistas and sheltered from the wind.
