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).

Mountain and Royal conditions

Royal in pretty good condition. Sand bunkers not maintained. Greens needed a cut. A number of very bare, dry spots on tees and fairways, But, greens pretty nice.

Mountain is not at all maintained. Dryed out, no grass on greens or hardly any tees. Piles of debris all over. Not worth the green fee. They are holding off investing in maintenance until they close Mountain and open Indian but until then, give a discount.

Feral Cat Warning

Lots of dead trees and dead bushes on Mountain 3. Signs for Feral Cat warning! Course is in crappy condition. Not even worth $35, p/p we paid. Don't bother... very disappointed. Dead brush should be cleaned up... which I had taken a picture. Plus our cart battery started flashing after playing 4 holes! Changed carts on 9. No one answered when we attempted to tell them the cart battery was low/flashing.

Good Place to Play!

As I have commented in the past, IPCC is a wonderful place to play when the course is maintained...it is now! It has a great history and is a course for all levels of golfers. It is a place for singles, families and all levels of golfers.

Rough shape

The mountain course was in really rough shape. Often hitting off gravel and rocks. The t boxes were very rough and not even or grassy.

It was a slow round. We had pushy senior ladies behind us who would hit their shot when we hadn’t even hit our second shot.

We were waiting on a group ahead so there was no where to go. The group ahead eventually let us go ahead of them.

Don't Play Mountain Course

There are 3, 9 hole courses at this location. I played the Mountain and Royal courses,

The Mountian course was first and was so bad I almost went home. The green were nonexistant. No grass, bare spots could controll a shot sometimes fast sometimes slow.

Throughout the fairways were brown spots. This 9 hole should be closed for repairs

Course not in good shape.

Fairways/greens/tee boxes all very patchy and large bare spots. Sand traps without sand. Mountain 9 holes worse than Royal 9 holes. Very disappointed and felt charged far too much to play a course in this condition.

Ruined an otherwise great week in La Quinta

Last day of golf, booked this course. 11:45 Tee time. Arrived at 11 to hit some balls and warm up.

-No welcome at bag drop

-No one AT bag drop to take clubs, ask what time we're off...you know, the TYPICAL things at a quality course?

-Carried our gear to clubhouse.

Upon entering clubhouse, advised man behind counter of our name and tee time. At that moment a "large" gentleman (whom we later were advised was the starter) burst into the area, yelled at the guy "you have to tell these people we are 2 hours behind!! We dont have any carts, there's too many players on the course..." and then stated "I dont know why they ("they"?) over book like this.

I interrupted his rant and said "Excuse me, did you say 2 hours behind?" to which he replied yes...we dont have any carts, they're taking forever to play 18"...

...and then he said to "come back in a couple hours".

COME BACK IN A COUPLE HOURS?

Seriously?

Out by the area where you would normally be heading onto the course, by the starter, large group of Asians, all milling about yelling loudly, pointing fingers...yelling at starter, who drove away in his card without a word.

Asked guy back in the clubhouse what happened he shrugged, "not sure"...I said "seriously, come back in 2 hours?" to which he responded "well, come back in an hour then"...

We walked out.

We booked this place because they advertise themselves as a "resort facility ...Championship golf course....recently undergone a three phase revitalization process to modernize the facility while preserving the historic integrity of the property"

You'd think a historic facility would know how to book their course by now.

By then (Noon) was too late to find anything...a Saturday in La Quinta.

Thanks guys. you left a horribly bad taste in an otherwise great 4 days. Never again.

Royal and Mountain 9s

Mountain greens (my front 9) were not mowed. Both the mountain and the Royal had a lot of debris like leaves, twigs, palm tree debris, and the like. Some dead areas on fairways and some of the greens.

Decent for money but neglected course.

First off tees and Finished 18 in 2.75 hours with a twosome. But lot of areas looked neglected including sand on greens and dead grass on greens. Also nobody in 19th hole for food and drinks until 1030am on a Sunday.

GT

The course is in bad shape with dead spots and dead debris everywhere , Mole holes and ant hills everywhere. All garbages cans over full.

The only good thing I can say about this course is a very polite and friendly Marshall with the name of Bill.
