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

3x 9 hole courses - Mountain course conditions OK - Indian course conditions terrible

First off, the rating scale provided at the begging of this survey, does not allow for a fair assessment of the Club House, property and staff, up front. On entry to the course property and club house, was impressed. This place was built in 1947. Staff were very friendly. The course layout is relatively tight with homes and trees lining the fairways. The first 9 hole course called Mountain Course, I’d rate a 3 of 5. Greens were receptive, and approachable, fairways hard, so lots of roll. Second 9 was the Indian Course, first couple holes, conditions and green a (3) rating, but from everything after — from layout, blind holes to greens that would not hold a shot, would get a (1) rating. After our round, the beer and service was very good. The Mountain Course works for seniors wanting to get their winter swing in place, I would not play the Indian.. my overall rating would have to be. 2 1/2 stars.

Best Deal In Town

Have been playing here annually for many years. The course is in the best conditions I have ever seen and priced very reasonably (the lowest I have found in the area for comparable layout/conditions). I would recommend Indian Palms to anyone who wants a fun experience, great conditions at a low price. We played mid morning recently and finished in only 3 hours. The Staff was very pleasant and friendly. We enjoyed the restaurant afterwards and a great way to spend time with my golf buddies after the round.
