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).

Ant hills on greens

I have never played a course that had active ant hills on the greens, as did several greens on Royal. No sand in bunkers on Mountain. Several forward tee areas were not mown on Mountain. One bunker on Royal was driven through by some large vehicle. The course was obviously poorly maintained.

Course in Bad Shape

We golfed here last year and the course has really deteriorated since then. Several bunkers and rough areas are not being maintained at all and are growing in or dying Also the greens on the Mountain course were barely puttable. Very bumpy. Owners need to put a little more money into the course if they want us to come back. Definitely not worth the cost of golfing there.

Dirt

Our first 9 was the Mountain course which is obviously close to being reseeded But it was so dry and many holes were 50% dirt. The greens were hard pan and awful. The 2nd nine was Royal and in decent shape. But the pace of play was glacial. A course Marshall was needed. We play Indian Palms often andr this was by far the very worst day

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

The course wasn’t in good condition. Green has some rough spots. Sand traps were a mess. Grass too brown. Looked unkept. More money this year less beauty. Played meadow and Royal.

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.
