Indian Palms Golf & Country Club - Royal/Indian

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.

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.

I would recommend IPCC to all golfers and all levels of players. The course is coming along and is getting better by the week.

Hanger 19 has great drinks and fantastic food, Currently, the kitchen is not open on Wednesdays.

Out cart died after 9 holes and there were no carts available. it seems like they overbooked the course our start time got pushed back 20 mins.

I will not be going there again

We booked a twilight tee at 1:12 and arrived ar 12:40. We checked in and were and told that there was a delay. It turns out that there werent enough carts for everyone on the course. Rookie mistake.

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.

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.

Very poor course maintenance, no driving range balls, no holes in the practice green, not enough help to turn the carts over. Not a good experience.

needs a little more filling in on bare spots and a lot more water

There was no starter when I teed off so I just started when I finished the front mine I found out I had the wrong nine,, So when I played the other 9 I was between to foursomes. The group in front of me picked up my ball on one hole! Also my cart started having problems with 6 holes to play. I was lucky that I was able to finish I had to get a push up a small hill on the 18th tee. When I mentioned this when I turned in the cart the attendant couldn’t have cared less. Thankfully I got a good rate because if I had payed the full rate it wouldn’t have been worth it.

The course is better than it has been during the past two months. Management of time and putting golfers out on the course; especially, during tournaments need to be improved.

It is an enjoyable course.

We understand that reseeding has just been done but it doesn’t look like much is being done to get the course in shape for what we assume is the high season.

Do not believe any of the positive reviews. I completely wasted my money thinking I could play a course at a decent price relative to other courses. Just was not worth it. Don’t make the mistake I did.

We had a very good time and the course is improving. It is a fun course to play and it has challenging for all levels of golfers and all ages.

Drinks and food in Hanger 19 are outstanding.

The course is not in good condition. The cart was not well maintained and barely made it up a hill,

There were no ball washers, no yardage markers, no drinking water on the course.

I think it was very overpriced for the condition of the course.
