Indian Wells Golf Resort (Players Course)
Indian Wells, CA
The Indian Wells Golf Resort Players Course, originally designed by John Fought in 2007 and recently reimagined through an extensive renovation, offers a classic American layout inspired by iconic courses like Riviera and Winged Foot. Fought's design philosophy emphasizes clarity and cohesion, blending timeless heritage with modern innovation. The course features his signature bunkering and strategic contours, now enhanced with updated shaping, improved turf conditions, and elevated playability. Mature trees line the fairways, preserving the course's original charm, while new landscaping adds a contemporary aesthetic. Each hole is thoughtfully oriented to showcase panoramic desert scenery, with dramatic views of the San Jacinto, Santa Rosa, and San Bernardino mountain ranges, and the striking Eisenhower Mountain. The 17th hole, a 146-yard par 3, is a signature feature, offering eye candy with a scenic pond fronting the green. The Players Course has been recognized as a top municipal course and is a revitalized championship layout that rewards creativity, precision, and pure enjoyment, making it a must-play for golfers seeking a challenging yet beautiful desert golf experience.
