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).

Just Terrible
Course is totally unkept. No distinction between fairway and rough. Lost balls hitting straight down the fairway as the grass had not been cut for a long time.
Golf cart made an annoying high pitched buzzing noise. Could not get it to stop. Asked for different cart after 3 holes. Cart never came. Noise got worse. Took cart in after 9 holes. Refused to give us a different cart.
Very bad experience. Was not enjoyable at all.
Will not be returning. Don't waste your money. Lots of other good courses to play!
Awesome day with my 2 uncles
$27 per round!! This is prime season here. Cannot play
95 percent of the courses for under $100. Thank you TEEOFF, We had a great time.
Great course
You get to actually drive the ball worth the $$ holes ranging from 350 to 500 friends & I have lots of fun I recommend this course to anyone
Good trek, very reasonable
Good conditions throughout most of the course. Bunkers could use some sand and attention. 3 nines to play so pace of play good. Great course starters and pace of play monitored.
Great course, Bad Upkeep!
First time playing course and it’s a great course. Only issue is the course is not well kept and pace of play was extremely slow!
Run-down
We have played Indian Palms yearly when visiting the desert. We were saddened to see how neglected it was. The carts had to be changed at the turn because the batteries wouldn’t last. The Royal 9-holes was particularly bad. Sorry to see this nice course in such sorry shape.
The Royal 9 was in pretty bad shape. Dried out, fairways infested with something. Greens were fast and smooth. Indian 9 was better but not great. Had to change carts twice for dead batteries which they warned us might happen. Definitely not worth the money.
Average golf course that looks as though it has gone downhill from what used to be a nice course. A real shame.
Condition of course
We have played this course many times over the oast15-20 years. We were very disappointed with the conditions of the course. The fairways appeared to have been neglected for water and fertilizer because you’re basically hitting off dirt with some grass in places. The tes boxes were in poor shape and very uneven rough. The greens were pretty smooth and fast because of their firmness. It is in as bad of shape as it was a fee years back. We won’t be returning to play there again until we get reports of much needed improvement. We have been telling others to not waste their money by playing IPCC. I don’t like that because we enjoy the course when it’s cared for!
Value and pace
An excellent value with a good variety of 27 holes. Not perfectly. Groomed but good greens. Friendly staff. Fast pace of play
Course conditioning was very poor. Not sure the last time a mower saw the fairways. Tee boxes were very, very rough and uneven.
course
course could use more attention, a lot of bare spots
