If you are building a golf or tennis trip around Indio, the two homes to look at first are Indio Oasis House and the Game Table Getaway. Both sit in communities whose amenities include golf, tennis and pools, which means the walk from your coffee to the first tee is short.
Indio is the practical base for this kind of trip. It is at the eastern end of the Coachella Valley, which puts the golf and tennis corridor running west through Indian Wells and La Quinta within an easy drive, and it is consistently less expensive than staying in Palm Springs proper.
Homes inside Indian Palms Country Club
Indio Oasis House — 3 bedrooms, sleeps 10
Indio Oasis House is inside Indian Palms Country Club, where community amenities include golf, tennis and pools. The house has its own new private pool with optional heating, a full kitchen with a Keurig and complimentary coffee, TVs in every room and fast WiFi. The primary suite has a king bed and a twin rollaway; a second bedroom has a queen and a twin pullout; the third has a queen; and there is a sleeper sofa in the living room. It is 1.4 miles from the Empire Polo Club.
What guests tend to remember is the back of the house. One wrote that the home backs onto a greenbelt with a running stream and a small lake, and that they drank their coffee in the backyard every morning with the view and the sound. 4.88 across 152 reviews.
Indio Oasis Casita — 1 bedroom, sleeps 2
For a solo trip or a pair, the Indio Oasis Casita is the same address and the same club: a queen bed, a full bathroom, a mini kitchenette with fridge, microwave and sink, in-unit laundry, WiFi and TV. Also 1.4 miles from the Empire Polo Club, and close to Shields Date Garden and Fantasy Springs Resort Casino. 4.91 across 136 reviews.
A pair of guests booked it to be near the desert horse park and found it about ten minutes away, with snacks, water, coffee and cream waiting on arrival.
The Game Table Getaway — 3 bedrooms, sleeps 8
The Game Table Getaway on Odlum Drive lists access to community pools, tennis and golf, plus its own private pool with optional heating, a spa and a BBQ grill. The primary suite opens directly onto the pool. Inside there is a game room with an Arcade1Up Infinity Game Table, which earns its keep on the evening of a long round. Nearby: Coachella, the Indian Wells Tennis Garden and hiking trails. 4.86 across 45 reviews.
The thing we want to be clear about: community golf, tennis and pool access is a club amenity, not something bundled into your rental. Tee times, court time and any fees are arranged directly with the club. We are not going to imply your booking includes a round. Message us with your dates and we will tell you what we currently know about access so you can plan properly.
If the group is bigger than eight
Coachella Sol Haus sleeps 12 across 6 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, with a heated pool, hot tub, fire pit, covered patio, chef kitchen and a loft with an 85-inch TV. It rates 5.0 across 94 reviews and lists golf and hiking trails among its nearby attractions. For a group splitting a house eight or twelve ways, it is usually the best value in our Indio inventory.
One honest note about the hot tub at Coachella Casa
Coachella Casa is a lovely Spanish-style 3-bedroom sleeping 6 with a palm-lined yard, pool and hot tub. A guest told us the hot tub maxes out at 90 degrees. If your idea of the end of a golf day is a properly hot soak, that matters, and we would rather you know now than at nine o clock on your first night.

Frequently asked questions

Are green fees or court time included in the rental?
No. Community amenities are separate from your stay and are arranged and paid for directly with the club. We will not pretend a rental includes a tee time. Message us with your dates and we will tell you what we know about current access.
How close is Indio to the Indian Wells Tennis Garden?
The Game Table Getaway lists the Indian Wells Tennis Garden among its nearby attractions. Indio sits at the eastern end of the Coachella Valley, so the tennis and golf corridor through Indian Wells and La Quinta is a short drive west.
What is the best Indio rental for a golf group of eight or more?
Coachella Sol Haus sleeps 12 across 6 bedrooms with a heated pool, hot tub and fire pit, and rates 5.0 across 94 reviews. The Game Table Getaway sleeps 8 with a pool, spa and game room.
Is a heated pool worth it for a fall or winter golf trip?
Usually yes. Desert nights get cold from November on and an unheated pool will be bracing. Heating is optional at Indio Oasis House and the Game Table Getaway, and Coachella Sol Haus has a heated pool.
