Coachella Class: Indian Wells Golf Resort
Indian Wells Golf Resort in The Coachella Valley is a stunningly beautiful time of year, but in the Winter season, the blend of Southern California mountains and desert makes for an outstanding golf destination.
With that in mind, the Indian Wells Golf Resort, which features world-class public golf, vacation, culinary, and events, has partnered with four neighboring hotels to offer a pair of ideal stay-and-play offers perfect for golf groups, families, and those simply seeking a getaway this winter.
Guests can receive accommodations at the Hyatt Regency Indian Wells Resort & Spa, Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa, Tommy Bahama Miramonte Indian Wells Resort & Spa, or Indian Wells Resort Hotel, each located within a comfortable walking distance of Indian Wells Golf Resort and offering superlative amenities.
Celebrating its 37th anniversary, the acclaimed resort features 36 holes of exceptional golf with its Celebrity and Player layouts. The Celebrity, designed by architect Clive Clark and colloquially referred to as “Beauty,” features aesthetically pleasing water features, colorful wildflowers, and narrow corridors, placing emphasis on shot-making.
The John Fought-designed Players Course, or “The Beast” as it’s known, is a longer, more open layout with demanding bunkering and stunning vistas of the surrounding mountain ranges. Like The Celebrity, no roads or homes encroach the course, and each hole is designed to provide a feeling of privacy and escape in the heart of the scenic Coachella Valley.
Rounds on each of the celebrated designs are included in each of the stay-and-play packages offered by Indian Wells Golf Resort and the nearby hotels and resorts. Guests can choose from a variety of options featuring two and three-night accommodations at the Hyatt Regency Indian Wells Resort & Spa, Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa, Tommy Bahama Miramonte Indian Wells Resort & Spa, or Indian Wells Resort Hotel.
Perfect for an extended stay or a quick weekend getaway, each partner hotel and resort offers a two-night option with a round on both the Players and Celebrity courses and a three-night night stay featuring three rounds of golf at Indian Wells Golf Resort. Those interested can find more information on each individual package online.
“We are thrilled to welcome our guests to experience the beautiful Coachella Valley with its fabulous winter weather as our stay-and-play packages are the perfect way to experience everything our resort has to offer,” says Robin Graf, general manager of Indian Wells Golf Resort. “There is so much fun to be had here at Indian Wells, from our phenomenal golf amenities to top-notch dining, as well as our array of special events we have planned for the coming months.”
The VUE Grille & Bar, located in the resort’s 53,000-square-foot clubhouse, features award-winning cuisine and an extensive selection of wine and spirits complemented by gorgeous property views and top-of-the-line customer care. Now featuring a new menu for the winter season, The VUE is the preeminent location in the region to dine while also enjoying watching major sporting events on its many high-definition televisions.
Indian Wells Golf Resort is also the ideal destination for weddings, meetings, and other group outings, highlighted by the in-demand pavilion accommodating up to 700 guests and event lawn spaces accommodating a combined 1,300. The resort’s Celebrity Ballroom is another premier event space, with a beautiful outdoor patio and a total capacity of 250 guests.
