Desert holidays can create some great memories. With that in mind, Indian Wells (CA) Golf Resort, one of the Coachella Valley’s top destinations, is showcasing a full calendar of family-friendly events ideal for the holiday season. Owned by the city of Indian Wells, the desert resort is located within walking distance from four luxury area hotels, making it an ideal retreat for golfers of all skill levels, as well as group outings, weddings, and family getaways.
In addition to the tandem of world-class, 18-hole golf courses – Celebrity Course and Players – Indian Wells Golf Resort is kicking off a new season of Shots in the Night, Coachella Valley’s best outdoor golf entertainment experience. Featuring Laser putting by Nextlinks on seven dedicated greens and a new Top Tracer Driving Range experience, Shots in the Night provides a fun experience for players of any skill level.
In partnership with the City of Indian Wells and neighboring hotel partners, Indian Wells Golf Resort also is hosting the inaugural “Indian Wells Winterfest.” Winterfest features a real ice-skating rink (rare in the desert), a 32-foot-tall decorated Christmas tree, lawn games, photo booths and barbecue-themed dining.
For golfers trying to sharpen their game this fall, or parents looking to get the kids involved in the game for the first time, The Academy at Indian Wells Golf Resort is ideal. With two state-of-the-art indoor hitting bays featuring TrackMan technology and three-dimensional swing analysis, golfers of any skill level can fine-tune their swing.
And to cap off the holiday season, Indian Wells Golf Resort is ringing in 2023 with a gala New Year’s Eve “Winter Carnival” complete with live music, performers, and a delicious array of food options featuring everything from savory barbecue, fresh seafood and sweet treats served on-the-go from a unique dessert station on wheels.
“We are thrilled to welcome guests for our exceptional array of events and family-friendly activities,” says Indian Wells Golf Resort general manager Sven Wiedenhaupt. “There is so much fun to be had here at Indian Wells Golf Resort from our phenomenal golf amenities to top-notch dining as well as our array of the best events in the Coachella Valley.”
