Indian Palms Golf & Country Club - Royal/Indian

This place used to be OK before the pandemic but the owner (saving money while charging more) has let all the nice big deciduous trees die, not made any improvements and they do stupid things like hold a 27 hole shotgun ladies tournament and still take bookings for noon and beyond. We arrived early for 12:30 tee time, a huge crowd gathered waiting for carts and told “just add 45 mins to your start time, if you don’t want to wait, you can leave”. Meanwhile, since it’s a vary large golf community, residents with their own carts were able to head out on course while 20-30 golfers waited - result a 5 hour round after a 45 min wait AND we had to get two replacement carts as we ended up with carts no fully charged. Won’t be back!

They over booked a tournament in front of our tee time of 11:52 and didn't have sufficient golf carts ! We stood around waiting and had limited feedback from course Marshall who tried hos best to speed up the tournament players . This Resulted in a 1 hour tee time delay as well as a slow pace of play .The restaurant was bust with the tournament and had no premade sandwiches . No course Marshall to speed up play . Our playing partners cart died on hole 14th and they ended up quitting . The course needs a lot of TLC and more staff to bring up the overall conditions of bunkers and up keep .

This is and old established course 27 holes, and poorly maintained. The fairways were almost bare, most cases no grass to be found. it would be a bargain @ $20. and you like dirt.

Of the three 9 hole courses here the Royal course is in ok shape, the Mountain course was closed, but the greens on the Indian course are in HORRIBLE shape. Very bumpy with grooves and ridges laid out in multiple patters. Almost un-puttable. If you play this course play the Royal course twice to get in 18 holes.

Course is not well maintained, and person directing traffic sent us to wrong course wasting our time. I would skip this altogether if you’re visiting the area. Golf now rating was way off, should be less stars.

About the only good thing I can say is the green were fast. after that everything is down hill. Grass was shaggy all over, It could be a nice course if they would maintain it. The course was running thirty minutes behind due to lack of workable carts. My first cart broke down after 5 holes, Had to wait for rereplacement, That cart barley made it in after nine hole. The third cart was dying for the last three holes, and barley finished the second nine holes. Don't waste your money here. It isn't eeven worth $10 to play.

Golf course is in rough shape. Tee boxes are badly beaten up, Fairways are really rough with lots of leaf and twig debris and the grass is very sparse and weedy. Found we were often hitting of dirt.

Most greens were surprisingly fast and in not bad shape but the rest of the course and amenities are in need of some extra care and attention. Broken rakes, and ball washers were common.

I know golf is expensive in the desert but there are other courses that are better value.

Played this 3 years ago and it was okay value then but it’s gone downhill and we won’t be back.

Cart dying, course needs work, not worth the price to play course.
