Indian Palms Golf & Country Club - Royal/Indian
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.
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).

Indian Palms C.C. Review
This course is a great price for what you get! You can definitely tell that this course was once one of the really great ones in Indio, it has aged a lot since the last time I played it but it was still very enjoyable.
The fairways are great, the greens could really use some TLC but are mostly all playable!
Great course for the money, will play again! And hope to see the course get revived a bit over the next year! It has so much potential
You get what you pay for.
Like other reviews, I wasn't expecting much & it delivered. I did all I could to figure out if they had a driving range on-line after-hours. Was surprised when I arrived. There is one for anyone interested.....
Meh..
CV “season” golf is expensive. I play here often. Close to home, cheap. You get what you pay for. Go out and have a good time, but don’t expect IG pics to make your friends jealous.
Some nice holes
Played the Royal and the Mountain courses. Royal is in better shape especially the greens. Mountain almost seemed like it was taken care of by totally different people, cups not sank properly and such. Still had fun, great day!
Royal Mountain Courses
Today I played a round of golf at Indian Palms CC in Indio CA with a nice Canadian family from BC. They were so friendly and helpful as well as fun to play along with. The Courses were in very good shape as we played Royal and Mountain. Greens were pretty fast and dry.
Just a wee bit of effort would be appreciated
This course is a potential gem…..
But owners have let it go, just a wee bit of effort would be appreciated by those who use it a lot
