Tee Off in Paradise and Conquer "Beauty and the Beast" at Indian Wells Golf Resort

Against a scenic mountain backdrop, two top-ranked public championship courses, appropriately nicknamed “Beauty and the Beast,” challenge golf enthusiasts (and the pros) at Indian Wells Golf Resort.

The 36-hole golf resort will host the Epson Tour Championship Oct. 3–6, 2024, on the Players Course, which features a classic American design by John Fought with trees seamlessly integrated into the layout. With beastly sculpted bunkers, the course earns its ferocious nickname.

The picturesque Celebrity Course, designed by golf architect Clive Clark, features beautiful flowing fairways, streams, brooks, and split-level lakes connected by waterfalls lined with vibrant wildflowers. Both the Players and Celebrity courses navigate verdant terrain with spectacular views.

October through April, guests can participate in Shots in the Night, an evening golf experience that includes laser putting on seven greens and an illuminated driving range powered by Toptracer tech, with light-up targets and glowing golf balls.

This fall, the resort will debut Kestrel, a new signature restaurant from celebrity chef Richard Blais positioned on the top floor of the clubhouse and overlooking both golf courses. The menu will showcase Blais’ unique take on Southern California cuisine including seafood, dry-aged signature cuts, local produce, and craft cocktails highlighting the region’s flavors.

“Guests will enjoy exceptional service from our team, as well as excellent culinary experiences with tremendous views and a fresh, open environment,” general manager Robin Graf shares. “We also offer abundant space for meetings and social events including weddings, anniversaries, and corporate parties.”
