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

Fun Course

We really enjoyed the course, the pass was great, never waited for the group in front of us. The fairways aren’t the greatest but for the price it was good

Kind of a dump. Okay at the right price.

Kind of a dump. Course in below average condition. Pace of play slow. If it’s cheap it’s okay - there are better courses for the money.

2 completely different nines

The first nine was on a well-kept course, clearly signposted. The second nine (on Indian) was almost a ploughed field in terrible condition, though the greens were OK.

Got crap from some old Kerin. The course needed some attention. It was inexpensive and the guy at the counter was nice and helpful.

Not a $60 golf course

The course is getting a little bit of grass on the fairways although very thin. The greens were good although some had dark patches.

We got there early so we could get ready and practice before our game, but were told we couldn't get a cart until 15 minutes before our game.

Not all tee boxes had identifying markers and hole 16 had a marker, but it was black rather than silver...didn’t take much to confuse us..haha.

Nice course for the price

We wanted to try a golf course in the desert that was only $55 per person. Great low price. So we signed up with GolfNow and we were not disappointed.

The green were challenging, with many rolling slopes. The conditions of the green was not great, but ok.

There are lots of trees. I hit many of them. Ha. My husband only hit a couple. And there are lots of leaves, which makes it a bit challenging to find your ball. But this is not a complaint, since we are from a golf course that also has lots of leaves in the fall.

The fairways had just been redone, so there were a lot of machine holes and lines. Maybe this will look better in a month, or so.

The tee box markers were poorly taken care of. I was hitting from the silver, and could find all mine…even though they had odd solver markers that changed design. Sometimes just rocks painted silver. My husband wa frustrated with his markers

Overall, we would go back.

This course is decent.

Course is subpar and in not great shape at all. Greens are good but the course itself isn’t very good. Leaves everywhere, pace of play was poor. Tee boxes were in rough shape, had to assign myself a golf cart. Tried to give the course a break from the reviews but the 2/5 stars is honest.
