Indian Palms Golf & Country Club - Indian/Mountain

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.
The Indian nine is the longest, with the most straight-forward holes.
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

Horrible conditions, fast pace of play
We were set to tee off at 7:02 , we arrived at 6:30 to hit the range. We were prompted to tee off right away by the starter to avoid any groups. There was only one other group of 5 carts playing together as a group so we tee’d off the back 9 (Indian course.) the green side sprinklers were still going by the time we hit the green, leaving us to put in a swampy mess. The conditions were atrocious, over grown tee boxes and fairways. Good luck finding your ball. The included photo is the tee box. The greens were slower than molasses. It appeared that the Indian 9 was closed but they sent us out anyway. You could be liable to lose your ball in the fairway it was so overgrown and unkempt . The back nine was slightly better and appeared to be maintained about half way. Green keepers are aloof and expect you to hit into them while they are maintaining the course. Oh well. We did finish in about 3 hours without seeing another group after teeing off. Ghost town vibes
Save your money or play at one of the many other better courses in the area.
Indian Palms Country Club
This course is worst than playing in a cow pasture. It’s like playing in a dirt driving range that hasn’t had watch in years. Patches fairways, over brown tee boxes and dirt putting greens. Golfpass should cancel this course
Worst in Coachella Valley
Used to be a nice course, hadn't played in years. Looks like they are giving up this course for good. I was the only person on the course that I saw playing. I play in the Coachella Valley very often and this is by far the worst course I've seen in years. Don't waste your money.
Terrible
Left early. Life is too valuable to waste time at this place.
Best Last Minute Tee Time
Stayed in Indio with the family for my son’s birthday, and the wife gave me the green light to squeeze in a round before we headed out. I was hoping to beat the heat with an early tee time and the only nearby option was Indian Palms — and honestly, it didn’t disappoint. Teed off at 6:30am, had the course completely to myself, and had a great time.
Now, the course could use some TLC — the greens were a bit rough and some tee boxes were pretty beat up. Layout’s traditional, nothing wild, but enough to keep it fun. Would I play here again? Sure… but more of a last-minute backup kind of spot.
The major of the grass on the fairway was either dead or dying. The greens were horrible, same conditions as the fairways. My party was expecting a far better golf course with it being on a country club. I guess I got my money worth with only paying $40 a player. We should have played a the PGA West course.
So bad
First of all the greens were all puddled with water. One green has a hose running on it like wth. On the last hole a worker took my ball off the fairway and switched it w an old dusty ball . When i confronted him about it he said he didnt speak english . Worst place ive played at. Will never go back!!!!!
Awesome budget course
The course was in really great shape. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. Great course for the cost and caters to every level golfer
Flag color placement
They don't conform to the standard color flag placement. I saw a blue flag (hole back), but the hole was actually front. Needles to say I hit my shot deep over the green. Frustrating.
Lack of Care
I live at IPCC and the course has continue to go down. It is the lack of care by the owner and management.
The staff work hard to give us a quality of golf and the food in the Hanger is very good.
Sandy fairways
Mixed spots of grass sand and hard dirt on the fairways.
Layout okay but poor conditions.
Dry conditions
Surprised they have turned water off this early. Price high for such poor conditions
Embarrassing
Do not waste your time or money with this venue! Wasted a day!!
