Indian Palms Golf & Country Club - Mountain/Royal
Rating Snapshot
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.

Good value.
A well kept 27 hole venue that is a great value and moderately challenging. Pace of play can be over 4 hours and that is a drawback unless you play early
Nice course!
It's a wonderful course with a great history. One of the oldest course in the valley. Good course for all levels and ages of golfers.
course review
The only thing bad with course is it was very wet.
Great course
Overall about 7,000 sq ft to cover just perfect you get drive the ball use your short pitch game and putt a little bit of everything definitely going back
Dead cart
Played 5 holes. Waited an hour for a replacement. No other carts were available. Finally just got a refund and left. Total disappointment.
Canada get away
Royal course could use a little bit of love. Indian course better shape. Overall a nice course
Homes too close to the fairways
I was very hesitant to swing as hard as I can because the homes are very close to the fairways and I don't want to hit a home with my golf ball.
Looking fine!
The management team has made some improvements on the course condition and continues to make additional improvements.
Hangar 19 has great drinks and fantastic food.
Fun to play but need to clean up the course the ponds look really bad and just pick up trash and down trees
Over all a reasonable good course to play
Reasonable good course to play golf , still affordable
Course was a lot better than we expected. Fairways are not lush but are playable and fast. Greens are fast.but roll well. Good value for the price. We will go back
Good course, a little rough
The golf course is in rougher conditions than we have seen it in the past although very playable. The ponds are extremely scummy, but they didn't affect our play. We expected to see red/yellow markers to identify the hidden ponds.
The greens were a little rough and bumpy, but we played at 12:00, I'm sure they were better earlier in the morning.
