Rating 73.2

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

Poor

Played royal and mountain courses. Poorly maintained course. Weeds galore making it unattractive. Many greens were bald with dead grass. Will not be back.

Cheap but poor shape.

First the positive. The cost was $50.and the carts were nice. However the course conditions were awful. It was hard to find the tee boxes on some holes, there was debris all over the golf course from a previous trimming that was not cleaned up. The bunkers were not maintained and had grass growing in them. Several of the greens had no grass, just compacted sand. In fact we felt on some holes there was more grass in the bunkers than on the greens.

Unfortunately this place has been completely let go. Best to stay away from it

Rambo

The course layout is very good with a nice variety of holes.

The fairways were very dry, but playable.

In my opinion, the course would get higher ratings if there was more watering and maintenance.

All in all, still an enjoyable day..

Good value, too many 5somes

We've played this course 3 days and every day we have been behind a 5 some. It's not the nicest resort course, but the value is good, greens are mostly in good condition, and the members and staff are friendly.

Mountain course was in extremely poor condition. Fairways were nothing but weeds and the greens were dirt. The course shouldn't be using these 9 holes.

quick play

the first nine was pretty good. Great layout and challenging hazards. Some of the sand hazards were very hard packed. T-boxes were very poorly marked. Second nine, all the greens had a blight or some other disease and were not nice at all. Same issue with T-boxes.

Ugly course

This course needs a lot of work. The tee box markers are random painted rocks that are fading not professional looking at all. The grounds are a mess,dry and full of rotting dates and goose droppings. No nice features at all. A rain storm came through and we went to the pro shop for a rain check,nobody to be found. Went to the restaurant and we’re told someone would be right over. Nope,went back again and waited probably waited a total of 20 minutes for service. Don’t know why we bothered,doubt we’d go back.

Value for money

We played the Royal 9 then the Indian 9. Have to say if the course was is as good of shape as the Royal 9 this would be a more positive report. The course is tight with narrow fairways and houses that I feel are too close to the action. That said the Royal 9 fairways and green were in great shape. The Indian 9 was somewhat less green and the greens had several dried out edges and less than perfect grass. I’ve played worse tracks and for more money, so this gets C- rating in my books.

March round of 18

The course is very flat and has a good layout. There is some water hazards at most holes. Course really needs some serious maintenance. Several sand bunkers were very hard and not playable. Greens on first nine (Royal) were decent, but on second nine (Mountain) were very poor - looked like some kind of blight. T-boxes were very poorly marked and colours did not match scorecard.
