The Indiana Course

Designed by Peter McEvoy and inspired by the famous desert course of Arizona the Indiana has been built to full USGA specifications.

It is a spectacular example of design and creativity in harmony with nature, creating a unique golfing experience.

Its emerald green fairways are set amongst rocky outcrops, streams, ponds, arroyos and dry riverbeds.

The contrast of the immaculate fairways and greens with the arid landscape of cacti, rock, and flowering desert set high on a plateau surrounded ranges is stunning at all times of the year.
Over 1 million imported cacti, succulents, trees and desert plants become denser and more daunting the further the shots are from the fairway. Perhaps not surprisingly given the course is set in the largest cacti and rock park in the whole of Europe.

All in all the course offers an exhilarating golfing experience both demanding and satisfying for players of all abilities depending on the choice of tee selected.

Enhancing the appeal of the course, some of the fairways wind their way through exclusive residential homes.

The course is maintained in peak condition throughout the year by an innovative water recycling system, along with the streams that run through the course, a residual water treatment plant and an adjacent reservoir.

This commitment to maintaining the environment has led to the course winning the Government’s award for the best Spanish course of 2005 for ecological care. The Indiana is the overseas home for a number of British golf unions as well as the home of the Royal Spanish Golf Federation, for whom Desert Springs hosted the 2006 Spanish Amateur Open.
