Thank you for the info.  I'm playing Stadium.  Any idea on present conditions for both Stadium and Mountain, given the overseeding?  I'm not familiar with how much it affects play.

Stadium is in good shape, though the overseed rye has been slow to germinate. Greens are reasonably quick, or at least they have been when I've played there. Have no idea about the Mountain, unfortunately.

Has anyone tried any of these courses? I've always wanted to try Pelican Hill!

I am heading out there the week after Thanksgiving for the first time looking for recommendations on courses to play.  I am staying right by Terra Lago, but will have a car and am willing to drive a decent way to play.  I am a ClubCorp member so I can play Mission Hills / Indian Wells / Desert Falls twice each for just the cart fee.  Which courses are the better ones at Mission Hills / Indian Wells?  Apparently there is a discount available for Rams Hill as well, is that worth the drive?

 

Other recommendations for public courses?

 

I believe Desert Falls CC is no longer a Club Corp property.

Of the courses listed in your link, I've played 7 of the 10. Pelican Hill is worth playing, so go for it.

Nice!!

Going out Saturday for a week. 

Have rounds booked at Indian Wells Celebrity, PGA Stadium, La Quinta Mountain. I love Stadium, it just fits my eye. Haven't played other 2.

 

I'll try to report back on conditions after we play

Has the "Book Network Tee Times" function been broken on the ClubCorp app for you as well?

[oneunderbogey]

It's working fine right now but the app is trash for sure, it randomly doesn't work at times.

Indian Wells was in some of the best shape of a course I’ve seen in years. If anything, I would say the greens were a bit slower than I was expecting. They weren’t long, but a little soft in the early AM

but since I hadn’t played there before, I don’t know if that’s the normal speed

 

Stadium was in good shape, not as lush as IW but as good as I’ve seen Stadium in a few years. Greens were running quick and the elevation changes are still brutal. 
 

both tracks were in fantastic shape. Playing LQ Mountain tomorrow

Yup.  Not going to the States any time soon.  It's not the airplanes, but the virus factory waiting areas that make it a hard pass.
