Indian Palms Golf & Country Club - Mountain/Royal
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.
You might become enraptured with Indian Palms' past. But the course itself has very much moved into the 21st century.
Eighteen of its 27 holes went through a massive renovation a few years ago. Some of the most dramatic changes are on the greens, once generally flat and small and tilting from back to front to allow the greens to hold shots almost to a fault. Many greens on the course today have been expanded to as much as 6,000 square feet.
The Royal nine features water on eight of its holes. (Yes, your break from water is one hole total).
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.

The major of the grass on the fairway was either dead or dying. The greens were horrible, same conditions as the fairways. My party was expecting a far better golf course with it being on a country club. I guess I got my money worth with only paying $40 a player. We should have played a the PGA West course.
So bad
First of all the greens were all puddled with water. One green has a hose running on it like wth. On the last hole a worker took my ball off the fairway and switched it w an old dusty ball . When i confronted him about it he said he didnt speak english . Worst place ive played at. Will never go back!!!!!
Awesome budget course
The course was in really great shape. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. Great course for the cost and caters to every level golfer
Flag color placement
They don't conform to the standard color flag placement. I saw a blue flag (hole back), but the hole was actually front. Needles to say I hit my shot deep over the green. Frustrating.
Lack of Care
I live at IPCC and the course has continue to go down. It is the lack of care by the owner and management.
The staff work hard to give us a quality of golf and the food in the Hanger is very good.
Sandy fairways
Mixed spots of grass sand and hard dirt on the fairways.
Layout okay but poor conditions.
Dry conditions
Surprised they have turned water off this early. Price high for such poor conditions
Embarrassing
Do not waste your time or money with this venue! Wasted a day!!
Unsafe and terrible condition
Sad to see a course that has so much potential be poorly maintained. Had such a terrible experience playing today . Right off the bat this course has not been reseeded in easily the last two years . Hitting off the fairways I got injured due to the poor conditions. You’re hitting off rock solid dried grass that feels like concrete( on the fairway) So good luck if u chunk it ! when I got to hole #9 the cart guy grabbed my ball and walked away with it . When I approached the starter he couldn’t retrieve my ball back. No biggie I waited to the end which btw I didn’t even finish 18 holes due to my injury. I still went to get my ball back and the gentlemen that grabbed my ball was real defensive and said the starter had my ball . Didn’t even apologize, didn’t even acknowledge that he picked up my ball and didn’t handle the whole situation professionally we just walked out … I don’t recommend anyone to waist there money here 70$ for a jungle is honestly ridiculous. I want my money back . I feel robbed , I got hurt , I got disrespected.
Poor roughs
Poor golf shop
Poor fairways (harder then the rough)
Seating areas are outgrown
Tees are all over the place
Flags in the wrong area
Cups haven’t been changed in weeks
Car paths arent edged up
Bunkers have NO SAND
The Golf shop needs training
Branches everywhere
Unsafe to drive if you’re not in the cart path
Poor prices
This place has no business giving out tee times it is a hazard.
Needs a little TLC
It is an old style course. The fairways need some help as well as the T boxes. Overall it was ok to play.
