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

Fun affordable
Excellent staff service. Greens were slow but in good shape. They are reseeding the fairways but that didn’t bother me, if i had a bad lie due to the seeding would take relief nearby. Pretty much had the course to myself.
Beautiful Day
Weather was perfect and playing partners very nice. First nine had quick greens. Second nine not so much.
Indian palms
Absolutely the worst kept golf course in the valley
It should not be allowed on golf pass or anything else
It’s a shame that they don’t take care of the course
I was embarrassed that I booked it and had other people show up to play such a poorly kept course that I picked
Slow play and dirt fairways
It’s difficult hitting off hard pan. Fairways need water badly as there is little grass in good condition. Some tender loving care and water required.
Enjoyable
The Royal course had fairways with lots of non grass areas and a couple of the greens weren’t great with patches of no grass.
The Indian course has been recently replanted with grass on the fairways and greens. The fairways are looking great, but the greens are “slow” due to the new grass being kept longer.
It’s still an enjoyable course with good value.
Indian course
The course had just re-opened, there was lots of spots on the fairways that had no or very little grass, the greens were fine although some were still sandy. Ladies toilet was locked and we weren’t given the code.in the men’s toilet the seat was on the floor.
Terrible
The only nine open and we had to play twice. It wassoon to be overseeded. Simply put...an overpriced goat track.
This course should not be open
Royal was dead , not a green blade in site on any greens. Indian was cart path only which id fine, the greens were unplayable, grass thick n in patches with dirt, ball was like a drunk walking nhad to hit itas hard as you could n didnt gofar. They should refund all money. Never played on such a terrible course. I have played this course many times begore
Cheap and cheerful
Course in rough shape, everything kinda run down but cheap and we had fun.
Beware! Horrible Conditions!
GOLF NOW should NEVER list this course on their site. Shame on Golf Now for listing after so many negative reviews. I will not ever play this course again or trust Golf Now again! Tried to get a refund and was told there was no way! You played you must pay. PLEASE DO NOT PLAY INDIAN PALMS COUNTRY CLUB GOLF COURSE OR USE GOLF NOW WITHOUT READING REVIEWS FIRST!
