The Indiana Course

at Desert Springs Resort

Par: 72 | Yardage: 7,015 | Designer: Peter McEvoy | Founded: 2001

The Indiana Course at Desert Springs offers a distinctive desert-style golfing experience in the heart of Almería. Designed by Ryder Cup legend Peter McEvoy, it combines dramatic scenery with strategic design to create a visually striking and engaging test.

Set within the Almanzora Valley, the course features wide fairways framed by rocky outcrops, dry riverbeds and desert planting. While generous from the tee, strategic bunkering and water hazards place a premium on accuracy and positioning.

With large, subtly contoured greens and a layout that rewards course management over power, the Indiana Course provides a fair yet challenging round, appealing to both low and mid-handicap golfers.

Signature hole

The 18th is a brilliant hole and has a signature element to it. A fairly short par-4 where it is up to you as to how much of the dog-leg you want to cut off, before approaching a green fully surrounded by water and the pressure of the clubhouse watching from behind the hole.

Post round

After the round, golfers can unwind at the Desert Springs clubhouse, where the Terrace provides brilliant views of golfers coming in to finish their rounds. With quality dining and a relaxed atmosphere, it’s the perfect setting to reflect on the day’s play.

Our view

The Indiana Course offers something genuinely different within European resort golf. Its desert aesthetic, strategic design and dramatic setting combine to create a round that is both memorable and rewarding. Ideal for groups seeking variety and a touch of theatre, it stands out as one of Spain’s most distinctive resort courses.
