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).

Sad little course.

This was my second round of the week and I was not impressed. It’s a good thing the fee was so low thanks to golfnow. Indian 9 was terrible for greens and fairways. Basically bald.

Royal was much better. I could find grass on the greens.

Horrible Condition- Stay Away!

Was swarmed by fire ants on the 4th hole where the creek runs into the pond, behind the green on the left side.

Even though I lost consciousness momentarily and reported it to the Pro, the same ant hill was there 2 weeks later when we played our rain check round (which was reluctantly given).

This course has the potential to be good but it has been badly let go.

Nope

Mountain course is in terrible condition. Palms course condition was okay. I would have rather played Palms twice because Mountain course was so bad.

Indian Palms Golf Course

This is a real ________. They must be very proud to have sand greens. They don't tell you that before they take your money.

The starter.........WOW.......looks like he's the only person that knows golf.

Like I said........this is a real ______ and they should repay us for wasting our time.

This is not a course that should be on your radar

I played this course with my wife and with our favorite golfing couple

We were extremely disappointed in our experience

There was very little green on the golf course

The greens were suboptimal and some of the greens were actually lost particularly several on the back 9

75 dollars for this experience was high way robbery

You can find a better golfing experience elsewhere

We will not return here to play golf again

Royal & Mountain

3 Nines here - played Royal/Mountain.

Played with a frequent player here. He helped with tips and also reported that Indian nine was in poor shape and needed work.

Pace and price were probably reflecting this.

I was satisfied with my round.

Indian Palms Course

This historical course has seen better days. We played Royal which was not in real bad condition but not optimum. Then we played Indian - the course was in terrible condition. Greens we covered in sand and the bunkers were awful. I never leave a bunker without raking but I did today - couldn’t tell the difference anyway. Staff was friendly, cafe was good. Great hotdogs (a little pricey but what’s not these days?). We won’t be back.

California Dreams

We thought the course was in poor condition.

A bit overpriced for the condition of the course.

Our dreams have been turned into nightmares.

DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!

This course use to be a very nice course. I have played it a lot over the years. Last year it was bad but this year it was worse.

The maintenance of the course is terrible!! Brown dried up fairways on many holes, No grass on many greens.

ONE OF THE WORSE COURSES IN THE VALLEY!!!

Royal nine was not too bad, but Mountain was not maintained at all.
