The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
The more open and forgiving of the two private Indian Ridge courses, a classic Arnold Palmer design defined by natural desert arroyos in place of sand bunkers and generous approach angles that give plenty of club choices. Public discussion is thin given the member-owned setting.
Consistently praised
- Wide fairways and open approach shots that leave lots of options and ease pressure off the tee.
- The distinctive use of natural arroyos rather than sand traps gives it its own personality.
Worth knowing
- Seen as less challenging than the sister Grove; private and lightly reviewed online.
Golfers recommend
- Remember you cannot ground your club in the desert arroyos.
- A good change of pace if the Grove’s tighter lines wore you out.
