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.

Each of the nines carries its own personality. The Indian nine is the longest, with the most straight-forward holes. The Royal nine features water on eight of its holes. (Yes, your break from water is one hole total).

Unfortunate timing

Course in terrible shape worse we’ve ever seen. We played day before course was going to be over seeded so no effort had been put into course at all. Understand but unfortunate timing for us.

Ok when everything else was closed

Although I was checked in before my tee time, the starter had given my spot away so I had to wait. The group two groups in front of us was 2 holes behind, but absolutely no marshalling staff to move them along. it was a 5.5 hr round. Good thing the weather was perfect.

Ok but……

Course needs water, fairways and greens are too hard and fast.

Water on the Course

It be nice to have water to drink some where on the course or have the café open in the summer month. I think operator of the course don't want there customer fall under heat stroke.

Satisfied play

The greens were a bit bumpy. Lots of brown grass and patches on fairways. Met a group of women who play there as a club, extremely friendly and inviting. The price is very good. I would like to play there again.
