“Season” as we affectionately call it here in the Coachella Valley has arrived.  Season brings beautiful weather to our area which in turn brings our winter residents back to their homes and fills our resorts with guests.  It is a great time to be living in the desert.

 At Indian Wells Golf Resort we are fortunate to offer 36-holes of golf for approximately ten months of the year.  During the months of October and November we continue to have 18-holes available during the overseeding process where 18-hole facilities will be required to close the course entirely.  This means that our facility becomes extremely busy with guests of all skill levels and backgrounds including country club members, resort guests, local residents, etc. 

Due to this busy time of year “Pace-of-Play” becomes an important challenge to ensure an exceptional experience for all or our guests.  Two ways to improve Pace are to choose the appropriate set of tees and to play “ready-golf.”  At our facility a target time for a round of golf is 4 ½ hours.  Finally, we ask our guests to be courteous and respectful to each other and if an issue occurs to contact a Course Ambassador for assistance.

 If you would like more information on how to improve your Pace-of-Play visit the link here at http://golf.about.com/od/golfetiquette/ht/paceofplay.htm.

Enjoy the weather and good golfing!
