Indian Palms Golf & Country Club - Royal/Indian
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).

Hard to enjoy.
Started with an abrupt registration urging us to get started 40 minutes before our tee time. No balls on range - they simply hadn’t been picked up. Limited fairway grass. Greens slightly better. No yardage marks and many flags wouldn’t pick up on range finder. Only redemption was a very quick round. Would not play again.
Have seen better condition
Unfortunately, the course is in pretty rough condition. Bunkers have grass growing in them, the ponds are green and there isn't much grass on the fairways.
We've always loved playing this course but it needs a lot of improvements.
The pace of play was great.
Nice historical course!
As I have mentioned in numerous reviews, it is a wonderful place to play and has a fantastic history as one of the oldest courses in the Coachilla Valley.
Good for all level of golfers.
Nice course!
It has a great history and is a wonderful place for golf for all levels of golfers and family play.
Mahiligpa
The course overall was in pretty good shape, rough around the edges and greens were in good shape but was a little slow. One complaint, one of the bathroom was locked and no one knew the code, tried calling the pro shop but the phone system kept looping. After trying the pro shop a couple of times, I gave up.
The course needs to be cleaned up. There is just to much junk and dead trees and branches laying around. The course has possibilities but the water ponds need to be shown a little love also. I wouldn’t think it would cost that much money to clean it up just alittle.
Not worth the money!!
Bad greens bald sport in many places starter never put a pin placement card on the cart, but it's posted on the clubhouse front door, also we never got the key code for the restrooms and this plays though a residential neighborhood
so it was a adventure if you were wanting for them answer the phone. Maybe it was because it was Christmas, um but the greens and fairway don't.
Good course; great history!
It has greatly improved over the past two months. It's a wonderful place to play with friends and family members.
Garbage Course
Just horrible. Must be selling soon as the course is in awful shape.
Always enjoy playing Indian Palms
If you are looking for lush fairways and perfectly manicured greens then this is not your course. I have been playing Indian Palms off and on over the past 30 years and it’s always pretty average. Fairway grass is thin, greens are a bit bumpy and many of the tee boxes need TLC but that said I still enjoy a round of golf at Indian Palms. Just make sure you buy the “hot deal”. BYW: Indian Palms is only using 2 of the 3 nines. The Mountain nine apparently was not over seeded this year.
Overall good course, good value and friendly staff
An afternoon exercise playing two sets of nine holes.
I was a single player. Was okay for about four holes until I caught up to a foursome----they were slow and on the ninth hole they spent 12 minutes looking for a ball. I eventually finished the first nine.
On the second nine four ladies were on the first tee. I asked to go through and started on the second hole where a couple allowed me to go through.. By the fifth hole I came up behind another slow foursome. Eventually the couple caught up and we finished the last two holes together. It was an enjoyable end with stimulating chit-chat.
Course gone down in conditioning
Used to be an ok course to play at a reasonable price but it has been let go and is now not good value at all for what you pay
