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).

Best Deal In Town
Have been playing here annually for many years. The course is in the best conditions I have ever seen and priced very reasonably (the lowest I have found in the area for comparable layout/conditions). I would recommend Indian Palms to anyone who wants a fun experience, great conditions at a low price. We played mid morning recently and finished in only 3 hours. The Staff was very pleasant and friendly. We enjoyed the restaurant afterwards and a great way to spend time with my golf buddies after the round.
