INDIAN PALMS COUNTRY CLUB AND RESORT

The desert winds off the San Bernardino Mountains create havoc with approach shots on this resort track, where elevated greens and strategic bunkering demand precision over power. Palm-lined fairways provide generous landing areas, but the real test comes on the multi-tiered putting surfaces that can turn routine two-putts into card-wrecking adventures. What elevates this Coachella Valley layout above typical resort fare is its clever use of natural desert washes and mature landscaping to create genuine risk-reward moments.
