ACTIVITIES & EVENTS
Where every day is a happy day.
At Outdoor Resort Indio, owners and guests have one thing in common: a desire to enjoy life.
No matter your interest, there is always something to do in the Resort. Start your day with morning yoga or water aerobics, a casual round of golf, or a pickleball game with friends.
Life continues in the afternoon with more fun - cards and games, arts and crafts, water volleyball, or lunch at the café.
Indulge and relax in any of the four pools in the Resort - swim, read a book, or take a short nap and enjoy the desert breeze.
Join the fun!
GOLF
Outdoor Resort Indio is rich in activities, and one of the most popular is the 18-hole golf course. This beautiful par-3 golf course weaves its way through all phases of the resort, taking all players, from the avid golfer to those just getting into the game, on a journey filled with palm trees, waterfalls, and the occasional family of ducks.
ORI’s golf course, two practice putting greens, and warm-up cages are free to all ORI owners and renters. Then, in addition to playing golf with your family and friends, ORI has an exciting and active golf club, offering organized golfing activities each week for those interested in meeting new friends in competitive but fun formats. Most organized events and membership in the golf club require a nominal fee.
The ORI golf club also offers numerous fun and popular events throughout the season. Events including, but not limited to the Ugly Sweater Scramble, Monster Golf, Kamikaze Golf, Individual and Couples Championships, and the resort-wide party Glowball.
Whether you’re sitting in your lot watching a white egret fishing in one of the ponds or enjoying a round of golf with friends, you will quickly see why the golf course has become the stunning center of our ORI community.

WEEKLY ACTIVITIES
Birdies and Skins
The game is in the name. Try making as many birdies as possible during the 18-hole round. You get a couple of dollars for each birdie made, but if you’re the only player to birdie a specific hole, you get a skin and the potential for a big payday.
Womens Golf
Come play with the ladies on Tuesday mornings. The 9-hole format is usually stroke play, with payouts for the lowest score and lowest number of putts. All skill levels are welcome, and don’t be surprised if the fun continues at the café for lunch after the round.
Couples Golf
Two couples are paired via a blind draw, forming a four-person scramble team. We play 18 holes with no drive requirements. This relaxed and fun format is one of the best ways to meet other couples - cash payout for the top finishers.
Friday Scramble
A four-person scramble team is formed via a blind draw. We place one ringer (better player) with each team to level the playing field as much as possible. We play 18 holes, and each team member must contribute at least two drives - cash payout for the top finishers.
