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

Not worth it. Play somewhere else. Nicer courses in the valley….
We played the Indian and Royal Courses today. These courses are in the worst condition I have ever seen. The fairways are bare and dry, lumpy and bumpy, rough as heck. No roll on your ball. Sand traps are full of grass and weeds. The greens. I don’t know where to begin. Never have I seen a course with such poor green conditions. It’s like putting on a cow pasture. My overall thoughts. Not worth your time or your money. The Management and Owner of this course should be embarrassed that they have allowed this course to get to this bad. Invest in this course or close the doors already.
Not very recommendable
Golf course in poor condition. There are a few holes that are nice and good - only if you come back to 9 or 18. The rest in between is poor, bunkers are not maintained and so on. You do not pay a lot but ...
Indian palms
Mountain course would be a1 out 5. Greens and fairways pretty bad.
Royal was in much better shape. Probably a 4
Good value but neglected course conditions
Courses seem poorly maintained which is too bad since they have real potential. Too many people were booked and there were waits to get on the courses. The starter was overwhelmed. The new carts are nice.
Course maintenance is lacking
Greens were in unacceptable condition. Poorest I can ever remember playing on. It’s too bad because it’s a nice track layout.
Poor conditions
The course was poorly maintained. Fairways had spots with no grass. The greens had very long grass. It was like putting on a fairway!
Horrible
I would say I’ve played my share of courses throughout my life. I have never written a bad review about anything, but this course was horrendous. The fairways were dirt patch, and the greens,You couldn’t even call them greens they were sand and dead grass. Just a waste of time and money. I should have ask for a refund
Don’t waste your money or your time😡.
Has really gone downhill
Usually play here once a year in Feb/Mar when we are in the Coachella Valley. What a disappointment. Played the Indian course and the fairways were fair and the greens good. The Mountain course is in sad shape. Fairways are thin and weedy. Greens had gone dormant and had not been overseeded. Bunkers and rough are minimally maintained. Won't play here again until course conditions improve substantially.
A Sad Golf Course
This course is an embarassment to its owners. What could be a good track is just not properly cared for. Don't waste your time or money on this one.
Sad little course.
This was my second round of the week and I was not impressed. It’s a good thing the fee was so low thanks to golfnow. Indian 9 was terrible for greens and fairways. Basically bald.
Royal was much better. I could find grass on the greens.
Horrible Condition- Stay Away!
Was swarmed by fire ants on the 4th hole where the creek runs into the pond, behind the green on the left side.
Even though I lost consciousness momentarily and reported it to the Pro, the same ant hill was there 2 weeks later when we played our rain check round (which was reluctantly given).
This course has the potential to be good but it has been badly let go.
Nope
Mountain course is in terrible condition. Palms course condition was okay. I would have rather played Palms twice because Mountain course was so bad.
