f you've ever wondered
where the two courses at In-
dian Wells Golf Resort rank
among the elite properties in Cal-
ifornia, the results are in.
The California Golf Course
Owners Association (CGCOA)
last month selected Indian Wells'
Celebrity and Players courses as
the best in the state.
"It's a huge honor for us and a
real humbling experience," said
Michael Tebbetts, Director of
Sales and Marketing at Indian
Wells. "It's very gratifying being
acknowledged by your peers."
Since the redesign of the golf
courses in 2006 by renowned ar-
chitects Clive Clark and John
Fought, Indian Wells has set the
standard when it comes to course
conditions and maintenance.
Owned by the city of Indian
Wells and managed by Troon
Golf, Indian Wells remained true
to its mission of creating extraor-
dinary guest and member experi-
ences through personalized
service, consistency, and uncom-
promising attention to detail, ac-
cording to the CGCOA.
The courses also were lauded
for hosting events for local resi-
dents, offering discounted green
fees to area property owners, and
working with the Champions
Volunteer Foundation to con-
tribute funds to worthy causes in
the Coachella Valley.
In addition, Indian Wells has
created a Junior Golf Academy
where children can learn the
game in a friendly, fun, and safe
environment.
With the latest recognition
from the CGCOA, Indian Wells
will be automatically entered for
a shot at the National Course of
the Year Award.
"This all comes down to player
satisfaction and we set the bar
high," Tebbetts said. "Now we
just need to keep fulfilling that
promise as the best course in
California."
