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).

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
Poor
Played royal and mountain courses. Poorly maintained course. Weeds galore making it unattractive. Many greens were bald with dead grass. Will not be back.
Cheap but poor shape.
First the positive. The cost was $50.and the carts were nice. However the course conditions were awful. It was hard to find the tee boxes on some holes, there was debris all over the golf course from a previous trimming that was not cleaned up. The bunkers were not maintained and had grass growing in them. Several of the greens had no grass, just compacted sand. In fact we felt on some holes there was more grass in the bunkers than on the greens.
Unfortunately this place has been completely let go. Best to stay away from it
Rambo
The course layout is very good with a nice variety of holes.
The fairways were very dry, but playable.
In my opinion, the course would get higher ratings if there was more watering and maintenance.
All in all, still an enjoyable day..
Good value, too many 5somes
We've played this course 3 days and every day we have been behind a 5 some. It's not the nicest resort course, but the value is good, greens are mostly in good condition, and the members and staff are friendly.
Mountain course was in extremely poor condition. Fairways were nothing but weeds and the greens were dirt. The course shouldn't be using these 9 holes.
quick play
the first nine was pretty good. Great layout and challenging hazards. Some of the sand hazards were very hard packed. T-boxes were very poorly marked. Second nine, all the greens had a blight or some other disease and were not nice at all. Same issue with T-boxes.
