Signature Hole at Indian Wells Golf Resort

NBC Palm Springs' "Signature Hole" segment takes viewers to one of the Coachella Valley’s most celebrated golf courses, the Indian Wells Golf Resort. In this episode, Tim O'Brien is joined by the resort’s Director of Golf, Joe Williams, to play through the signature hole, a 364-yard par 4 that has become a favorite for both casual golfers and professionals alike. The hole features a slight dogleg to the right, offering players a relatively open shot off the tee. Joe walks viewers through his approach, opting for a driver to set up a manageable shot toward the green.

Joe expertly demonstrates how to navigate the hole, making a solid drive down the middle of the fairway. With about 110 yards left, he uses a gap wedge to approach the two-tiered green. Joe’s strategy is clear: aim to stay below the hole to set up an easier putt, a tactic that pays off as he sinks a beautiful birdie.

The segment, sponsored by Agua Caliente Casinos, not only highlights the stunning scenery of Indian Wells but also gives golf lovers a glimpse into how to approach a signature hole for an ideal start. Joe’s insights, combined with his easygoing manner, make the video both informative and enjoyable for golfers of all skill levels. Stay tuned for more from "Signature Hole" in future episodes!
