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).

Rock n Roll

Fairways are hard as rock, greens don't hold, results in roll, roll, roll, so hard to gauge distances.

Course layout is good but the course conditions are not. We paid $50 which was fair for the conditions with the cart included.

Greens are very in bad shape

Wasn’t impressed with the course conditions. Greens are in terrible shape, sand traps need lots of work. Fairway were ok but very dry.

It’s better than it looks

Nice course getting over seedlings they’re doing a lot of work. Green still need a little work but it’s a good value. Considering all the other courses in Palm Springs area were closed.

Not a good choice

The course was bone-dry, greens were hard and the ball ran forever. Many of the greens appeared to have a case of terminal acne. The course is surrounded by homes, some very close to fairways to the point of the homes' backyards are effectively the rough. The layout of the Indian nine is at best weird and for a first-time player, hard to follow. Maintenance of the course overall was neglected. In the fairways, it wasn't lift, clean and place, it was lift and try to find a spot of grass to put the ball back down on. The range was closed and there was no place to warm up. There are much better places to play. Refunds are in order.

Golf course comment

Very friendly staff. New golf cart. The course was in rough shape. The grass was very dry with lots of brown areas. The greens were mostly chewed up and difficult to putt. The sand traps were packed down and unraked. Hard to get under the ball with any sort of control. Generally speaking it needs a lot more irrigation and more maintenance of the sand traps. Value for money - you get what you pay for.

Bad but not terrible

I was expecting worse with all the reviews, which are true but the course is still playable. Paid $45 which is about right for value. It was the only course available less than $60 on a Saturday late morning.

Early Season

Greens were rough and not grown in yet from early season work. They really need some TLC. It’s a very playable layout. Fairways were not grown in either, but then what grass can withstand the heat of the past 5-6 months. You can hardly tell which tee is which because the markers all look the same. Black should be noticeably black and so on!!

We had fun.

Poor shape

This course is in poor condition. Trying to maintain a 27 hole facility with 8 workers

Greens are bad, .bumpy and lot of bare spots. If cheap golf course with no service.this is your place. Lose your balk in the middle of fairways

Wait a month it might get a little better. Indian courses greens are pathetic

Thank you

Indian Palms Golf

Very poor condition. Fairways very thin. Greens thin and inconsistent. Bunkers not maintained and thin on sand. Starter was gruff and unfriendly. Pace of play was slow. The group in front of us had a toddler with them running around the course and they let him putt on the greens. There was no marshals monitoring anything.

Needs work

A lot can be blamed on the past terrible storms but things like empty ball washers and damaged flag holders are poor maintenance.

Needs some help.
