Indian Palms Golf & Country Club - Mountain/Royal
About
This course dates back to the 1940s and carries a powerful history. Dwight Eisenhower and John Kennedy played many a round at Indian Palms, back when it was called Cochran Ranch. Eisenhower loved the place so much, he wrote his memoirs at the ranch.
You might become enraptured with Indian Palms' past. But the course itself has very much moved into the 21st century.
Eighteen of its 27 holes went through a massive renovation a few years ago. Some of the most dramatic changes are on the greens, once generally flat and small and tilting from back to front to allow the greens to hold shots almost to a fault. Many greens on the course today have been expanded to as much as 6,000 square feet.
The Royal nine features water on eight of its holes. (Yes, your break from water is one hole total).
The Mountain nine is probably the toughest of the three, with plenty of hills out on the course and plenty of slope on the greens. The Mountain nine also boasts a rare par-4 island green.

Golfer Reviews
Great Value and a Fun Course
The course is pretty wide open which makes it great for beginning to intermediate level players but still challenging enough for seasoned veterans…ridiculous value for the money…would recommend anytime!
Getting Better
In the last year the course has greatly improved. The greens and fairways are much greener. A lot of the dead rough areas are gone to greener grass. Looking forward to seeing the sand traps and ponds completed.
Better than expected
Far exceeded expectations given the rate we paid. Greens were a bit slow buts that was really the only thing to “complain “ about. Great value for money the day we played.
Nice tight course
When the pro shop says l”leave the driver in your bag”,
You should listen to them!
Nice layout, tight fairways, and fast greens.
Friendly staff, snd grounds crew.
The “signature” hole (island green) was under construction, but still looked nice.
Will definitely return - but without the driver
Getting Better
Took my son out after not playing here for about 5 years due to the poor conditioning. It was a pleasant surprise to see the course is being maintained again. Still some rough areas (bunkers especially), but getting closer to how it was 15-20 years ago.
Big improvement!
With the course being in the roughest shape for the last couple years it looks in such great shape ! What an improvement! The guys are doing a great job rehabilitating the course . From being the worse course to being a playable fun track!
Not great and not bad
Played this course off and on for 30 years when my country club is being overseeded.
Greens were slow but it was not a bad round of golf. Course conditions better than last time I played there last year.
Notice a bunch of new houses going up on the Royal nine right next to the course which I saw as empty lots for the last 20 years.
Good for the area I guess but I can see lots of balls hitting the houses. LOL
Value play
Reseeded and needs a chance to grow was cart path only due to reseeding.
Bunkers look like haven’t been maintained for years
Houses are very close to fairways and some houses are in very dangerous lots
Pro shop is limited but friendly
Greens need maintenance
Indian Palms Golf Mountain Course
While it was cart path only, we had a very nice day.
You must remember to get your drinks before first tee,
Did not eat at the restaurant.
This was my second time at this course. I definitely liked playing both courses. The price is one of the best in town and the fairways and greens were great.
they were overseeding
This was a last minute booking to play with my son who is close to scratch, we played 9 holes and quit because it was getting crowded. we were not aware that only one 9 out of the three were available. The greens ran well and for the money we did not feel bad quitting early.
