Indian Palms Country Club & Resort

Booked this course because it was the lowest priced time in the morning I could find after 8am. I hadn’t played here for several years and remember it when it was under different ownership. The course has lots of potential but I feel that the focus is in the wrong places. The only real positive I will say for the course conditions is that the greens were actually rolling quite nicely. The Mountain greens seemed to be a bit faster than the Royal. The Indian course is closed as they did a late overseed.

There was no food and beverage available. Teed off about 8:10 and finished about 11:20 so that was nice. There was limited play in the morning because there was an afternoon shotgun starting at 12:30.

The fairways were sparse with winter rye grass and quite a few holes had fallen leaves so at times it was hard to find your ball even in the fairway

Course needs focus on the little things like new flagsticks that will stand up straight in the cups. New flags that aren’t torn. Edge work around the cart paths and curbs. Improve the aesthetics overall. There has been a lack of maintenance over the past few years. Lots of dead trees and untrimmed palm trees.

This is a tight golf course but not real long. It’s a lot different from the courses in the desert that have generous fairways. If you want to test your driver this is a good track for that.

In a couple of months it should be a lot better playing conditions. If you want to play some golf on a budget this is good for that but it’s not a memorable golf course.

The course conditions need a bit more heat to grow in but it was certainly decent and we enjoyed and got full value for our money.

We found a Hot Deal in the morning and golfed at 11:44...great deal. The course was in ok shape...grass a little thin. It should be great in a couple of weeks. The greens are great! The bunkers were a little damp, but it did rain overnight.

We played the Mountain and Royal courses. The greens are in decent shape but the fairways, especially on the Mountain course have little to no grass and you are basically hitting off of a hard pan. This is such a dissapointment because this golf course used to be one of the nicer courses in the valley. Pace of play was as fast as we wanted to go, because there was hardly anybody on the golf course and the condition was likely the reason. We laughed at the published course condition by the resort and the attached pictures as they differed from reality. Unfortunately. this golf course requires a lot of TLC to return this course to its previous conditions.

Greens on Royal were in poor condition, better on mountain. Course charges $25 for a rider. Carts are broken down and in poor condition. No GPS. Go somewhere else

Maybe was nice back in the day but it's worn out. Especially the greens.

IPCC has greatly improved over the past two months. Course is a good value compared to other courses in the Coachella Valley. Staff very friendly and Hangerc19 has great food.

Royal course not bad shape Mountain course not much grass

course was in bad condition. the greens and fairways were brown on the front nine(mountain course). The back nine was a little better. The tee boxes were littered with broken tees . The only good thing about the course was the price. This was an example of getting what you paid for.

When I checked in for a 6.56 tee time, the aloof clerk did not mention that a shotgun start tournament was scheduled for that morning at 8 am. Luckily, I finished the front nine in less than an hour, BUT then I encountered the tournament. A helpful marshall suggested that I return to the front nine, starting on hole 2. So I managed to complete 17 holes. The "ladies" teeing off on hole one of the front nine were indignant when I drove through their teeoff emplacement, but at least they didn't try to kill me.

By the way, on December 6, 2022 the course was not in good shape yet, following the reseeding program. Not much grass anywhere, including on the greens.

So, beware!

Played Indian 9 and Mountain 9. One had been overseeded and one is closing for overseeding next week, though impossible to tell which is which. Little to no grass to speak of on either 9 in fairways or rough. I understand during overseeding things can be a little rough and mostly brown, but most areas of this course were bare. Greens weren't pretty but they were puttable and had grass. Bunkers were dirt/mud, but no sand to speak of.

Fairly tight course lined with houses or condos on most holes. And yes they are easily hittable! Overall for $50 you can have some fun as your expectations are low anyway for the price. Golf shop staff and starter both very nice and friendly. I've played probably courses here in the Valley and I would say conditions here were the worst. But again, for 50 bucks I'd do it again at some point.

Lovely possibilities but today’s play had little grass & lots of dirt and straw. The Mountain course was in much better shape than Indian. Royal was closed for refurbish. Much more care and maintenance is needed to bring this back to it’s past level of playability. End of day photos are spectacular!
