Indian Wells Golf Resort Best Playing Conditions 2018 - Southern California

Congratulations to Indian Wells Golf Resort Winner of 2018 Best Playing Conditions for Southern California.

Indian Wells Golf Resort 2018 Winner Best Playing Conditions for Southern California

Greenskeeper.Org presents the winner for 2018 Best Playing Conditions in Southern California to Indian Wells Golf Resort.

We’ve waited all year for the results, and the results are in.  Greenskeeper.org proudly presents it’s Best Playing Conditions Awards for 2018.

Not to be confused with our other award “Worth the Green Fee,” “Best Playing Conditions” is awarded to golf courses open to the public listed on Greenskeeper.org that stand out above the rest with our site users.  These golf courses distinguish themselves by providing consistent, exceptional playing conditions.

The job of the superintendent is the life blood of the golf course industry and most important contributing factor to enjoying a golf experience.  A golf course is a living, breathing organism whose health is constantly in flux.  It takes enormous dedication, resources and expertise by a superintendent and their staff to provide excellent turf conditions.

Greenskeeper.org’s registered trademark and creed, “Know Before You Go”®, centers on communicating these current playing conditions. The rating system used on Greenskeeper.org is in part created by superintendents.  Greenskeeper.org views it’s Best Playing Conditions Awards as it’s highest honors.

Want to treat yourself to some choice conditions?  Want and experience you can remember?  Consider playing at one of these great golf courses in your area.

Played here for the first time in a very well run tournament. The facility is top notch from the lot to the course. The staff does an excellent job and seems to enjoy doing it.

The tee boxes were all very level with a couple being slightly thin and shaggy. The fairways are nearly perfect with total coverage tee to green. The rough was not too long on most holes – but long enough to keep shots in play and short enough to make good contact. The sand traps were well maintained and filled with plenty of quality sand. The greens were pretty large and in great condition with hardly a mark. The greens were holding shots pretty well and not as slow as other area courses I’ve played this time of year. The grounds crew does a wonderful job with this place.

I’m looking forward to my next visit here and definitely recommend a round or two or three here!!

Indian Wells is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Even with the surprise Verti-cut happening today, but fortunately I only had to play on 3 holes that way.

Staff is awesome – got me out 2 hours early as I was ahead of schedule. Went out as single, starter told me there were 3 foursomes ahead and that I should go to #4 or #5 to start. I went to #5 just ahead of the first foursome, and didn’t see another golfer.

Verti-cut is probably done now, so my conditions report is meaningless. Count on immaculate conditions after October maintenance.
