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

Enjoyable course
Just a fun, comfortable, old fashioned (which is a good trait), solid course with confortavle character.
Don't play here
This course is not recommended @ any cost.
Poorly run and managed. Needs an extreme makeover. Been this way for years.
Good greens. Recently mowed, so pretty fast but doable. Rough manageable, and fairway very closely shorn. I’m a bogey golfer, so I’d rate the course as moderately difficult but still well within my comfort zone. On the day I played the starter allowed a sixsome out ahead of me and my partner and we were held up by that group. I think it’s crazy to allow a group of six players under any circumstances, but at a resort course during peak season in the desert? Really?
Never once saw a Marshall to monitor a large group like that.
Despite this, I played the course twice and had good time each day.
Golf outing
For the price, you would think the links would be better than what they were.
Meh
Fairways were hard without much grass. Every shot is a tight lie unless you move your ball to some grass. Tee boxes were not well marked on Indian. Houses are tight in several areas. Overall quite disappointing, unfortunately.
Flag placement for Red, White, & Blue flags
The standard flag color placement is RED is at the front of the green, WHITE is at the center of the green, and BLUE is at the back of the green.
I found it very frustration that I could not rely on the standard flag color placement because the colors were all over, e.g., a Red flag that I thought was at the front of the green was actually at the back of the green. This should be corrected.
Good value and pace of play. Course is in okay condition but needs some work. Nice mid level

Course condition
The course condition was terrible and the pace of play eas very slow.
