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

Worn out, and not playable

The Royal 9 is nothing more than a field. Undisclosed in the listing that it’s ’under repair’, quite literally a field. The Indian 9 was cart path only, undisclosed in the listing. No Marshall, a 5 hr round because of two groups not allowing anyone thru

Fun affordable

Excellent staff service. Greens were slow but in good shape. They are reseeding the fairways but that didn’t bother me, if i had a bad lie due to the seeding would take relief nearby. Pretty much had the course to myself.

Indian palms

Absolutely the worst kept golf course in the valley

It should not be allowed on golf pass or anything else

It’s a shame that they don’t take care of the course

I was embarrassed that I booked it and had other people show up to play such a poorly kept course that I picked

Slow play and dirt fairways

It’s difficult hitting off hard pan. Fairways need water badly as there is little grass in good condition. Some tender loving care and water required.

Enjoyable

The Royal course had fairways with lots of non grass areas and a couple of the greens weren’t great with patches of no grass.

The Indian course has been recently replanted with grass on the fairways and greens. The fairways are looking great, but the greens are “slow” due to the new grass being kept longer.

It’s still an enjoyable course with good value.

Indian course

The course had just re-opened, there was lots of spots on the fairways that had no or very little grass, the greens were fine although some were still sandy. Ladies toilet was locked and we weren’t given the code.in the men’s toilet the seat was on the floor.
