Indian Palms Country Club & Resort

IPCC continues to improve in 2026!

still a ways to go but someone is making an attempt to bring it back to life which is great to see!

we hope it continues!

From staff that struggle to process customers to below average fairways you get to the sad sack greens. The best part of this course is the second cut. Only 18 of 27 holes open, I have played this course before but this is by far the worst shape ever.

Grass and fairways and tees are OK, but greens either don’t have grass or furrows of tufted grass.As an owner of said course, I would be embarrassed to charge as a more premium establishment in prime time.

I cant be too hard in this review considering we only paid $55 per person for 18 with a cart. Most of the tee boxes were in average to decent shape. Grass was a little long. Greens were very rough. Looked like they might have been aerated a few weeks ago but were still difficult to putt on. Ball washers inop, no beverages on the course, weeds in some of the traps. Good news is we played in 3 hours. Dont expect much if you go to play here. And definitely do not pay over $55 for a round!

unhealed punched greens Y cant U water & fix poor greens no stars zero 0

I know they say that they are undergoing a "major renovation", but I see nothing that would suggest this. We have golfed this course the past 3 years and it gets worse every year. I never seen greens as bad as the mountain and Royal. The owners should be embarrassed. We spend 5 months a year in the coachella valley and have golfed nearly every course. This is the worst by far. Also, Don't forget to get your driver's license after they force you to leave it with them to use a cart!

This course was built in the 1960’s I’d say, tight course, bad greens this time of the year, I must say they’re working on it so the course is in better shape than last time I played here . I’d play it again !

Fairways ok, multiple water hazards just dry or mud, greens a mess, with bare patches. Only worth about half the price they are charging.

Course was in rough shape but nice layout nothing that a little love can t cure Staff could be friendlier and more welcoming

Too many weeds, greens in poor condition, soggy areas on fairways

The course is in pretty good condition. Big improvement since last year. Three nine hole courses. Played Royal and Mountain courses. Greens on Mountain are pretty dry and faster than on Royal. Pace of play was excellent. Course not very busy when we golfed. As a twosome we played in under 3 hours. Staff very friendly.

Used to get a two month seasonal membership until 3 years. Course management and conditions steadily declined when we played in 2020. Then in 2023, they hiked the round price substantially, ended offering seasonal memberships, and the greens didn’t have grass! We left. We decided to give it a try again this year. Course conditions are much better but still only fair. Greens have some grass, some bumpy, but surprising speedy. There appeared to be a pro shop but it was closed. Payed at a window, more like a driving range, and the range balls came in a plastic bag. It is too bad. The course has a decent layout and could be a good test of golf.

ould be they are fixing them but its like putting on cordory

The course has potential,but fall seeding did not take very well.

Played the Mountain and Royal course. Overheard a fellow golfer after playing Indian Course tell the starter it was terrible and asked why he had to play it and got a shrug in response. Don’t know if you get a choice. Mountain and Royal were okay except the greens are in tough shape so don’t expect a true roll. Maybe next year they will have the greens repaired.

We've been playing Indian Palms for around 15 years. It has gone through a significant course renovation that started in the Summer of 2025. It is now, with a few exceptions, in the best condition it has been in for a decade! The fairways are well overseeded, and they are keeping the course trimmed. The greens are fairly consistent in speed. There are many water features and lots of trees that have been improved/trimmed or removed.

There are three nines, Royal and Mountain are in the very best shape. The Indian has a couple greens that need to be replaced/resodded. Bunkers in the Coachella Valley are hit and miss due to the windstorms we often see. So, Bunkers here are mostly poor condition and in need of added sand.

It you want to save some green fees in the valley, come and play here. The course layout and incredible mountain views are well worth the green fees! The food in the Hangar 19 bar and grill will also be a great treat for you! It's all delicious and good proportions.

I just don't understand how during the season the greens are brown and sandy. This course condition would even be bad during the summer.

We booked our round based on recent reviews reporting that current management is making a concerted effort to improve the quality of the course and has made great progress towards that goal. We played the Mountain/Royal course with a “local” who confirmed that assessment. Independently, we were very pleased with the conditions overall…fairways were very accommodating and the greens were fast and true, albeit still “filling in” and a bit sandy, having been renovated (we were told) not too long ago. The bunkers, however, are sorely in need of more sand. However, with the price of golf in the Palm Desert area, we felt we got a good experience and good value for what we paid. We will likely play here again.
