GPS Industries Congratulates Client Course
AUSTIN, Texas, USA-October 31, 2008- Indian Wells Golf Resort’s Players Course, an OB Sports-managed facility, received a 4 1/2 Stars rating for daily-fee courses in Golf Digest’s 2008-2009 edition of Best Places You Can Play.
GPS Industries Inc. (GPSI) congratulates OB Sports and Indian Wells, CA for the “outstanding” recognition of the John Fought designed layout. Their Inova GPSI system is installed on golf carts at the resort.
“This recent honor validates what the City of Indian Wells has been striving for regarding the Players Course,” said resort manager Jeff Lessig. “The creation of a great test of golf that is a definite ‘must play’ offers a one-two punch with the Players Course and the Celebrity Course clearly positioning Indian Wells Golf Resort as a world-class golf destination.
The Players Course at Indian Wells Golf Resort is no stranger to awards having been ranked #3 in the country in Golfweek magazine’s “Best top 30 Municipal Courses” and #13 in the state of California in Golf Magazine’s first ever state-by-state rankings. Indian Wells Golf Resort is California’s only 36-hole facility with both golf courses ranked in state-by-state rankings for both Golfweek magazine and Golf Magazine rankings.”
Indian Wells Golf Resort is owned by the city of Indian Wells, California. It has been a popular golf travel destination for nearly 20 years. The city’s reinvestment in golf at the resort and an ambitious facility-wide project has yielded two new golf courses (Celebrity Course in November of 2006, and Players Course in November of 2007), the IW Club (clubhouse), a nine-hole putting course, comprehensive practice facility and many other amenities.
