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

Course needs improvements!

The course is better than the past two weeks; but, it still needs better landscaping, cutting of the fairways and tee boxes.

The carts need to be properly cleaned and sanitized. They need to be plugged in, so the carts do not run out of power while playing a round of golf.

I love my course; but it needs proper care!

Played 3x last 2 years ..

I keep trying to give this place to benefit of the doubt. Staff is generally pretty friendly. But the course conditions are not that great. The greens are definitely. But for what you pay on golfnow.com you get what you pay for. not a bad track for sure just a little disappointing this last trip paid for

Lack of Maintenance of the Course!

The course is not being maintained as it should be, even during the summer months. The fairway has multi cuts and there are water leaks. The course has gone down over the past six months. It is really too bad!

You are paying the same price during the summer (off-season) as we were paying during the high season via GolfNow, very strange!

I live here and I love the course; but, it needs to be maintained.

Goat Track

Ownership is absolutely letting the place fall to pieces. Staff was very friendly but the course was brutal. I play a wide range of courses and I’m realistic about what to expect for what you pay, but this place wasn’t even worth the $35 off-season rate. Look elsewhere.

Nice course!

The course conditions have gone down, the fairways , greens and tee spots; plus, secondary cuts need improvement. They need to repair water leaks

I still like the course and will play it agaib.

OK but Costly!

I live at IPCC and the course during the summer season is poor to good. It needs upkeep and that is lacking.

It is interesting that the cost is more now during the off-season of summer, than it is during the high season of fall and spring??? This is golfnow process and not the course for Hot Deals. During the high season, I was able to get on for $25.00 and now I have to pay $29 to $32 for a hot deal. during the summer?

Good place for beginners

My brother in law and I (both single digit handicaps) played here for a first time a few months back. You get what you pay for and that is not being negative. Very nice staff, course is what you would expect with the price. Great place for beginners, or a casual round with your wife.

Indian Palms - Mountain 9 & Indian 9

The golf course is in bad shape with fairways not mowed trees overgrown and some fairways dried out in big patches. The greens on Mountain 9 are bumpy and slower than the Indian 9. Generally it looks like management has let the course get out of control. Its a shame because it was a really nice facility at one time. We arrived to play at 6:30am and there is no ice or coolers available. Seems like management doesn’t care. To me it was not even worth the $35 per person we paid. It would not take much to improve the experience, if management cared. This is not an easy golf course. Tight fairways and greens that are a challenge. Its a good facility, but needs TLC to create a good experience.
