INDIAN PALMS COUNTRY CLUB

The desert wind whips across this Coachella Valley test, where elevated greens and strategic water hazards demand precision over power. Palm trees frame narrow fairways that punish wayward drives, while the signature par-3 17th plays over a lake that's claimed more Pro V1s than a magnet. What saves this track from desert monotony is its clever use of elevation changes and a green complex on 18 that rewards bold approach shots with legitimate birdie chances.
