Course conditioning was very poor. Not sure the last time a mower saw the fairways. Tee boxes were very, very rough and uneven.

Deteriorating golf course

I played this course last time just before Covid. It was a pleasant experience. Today was the opposite. We were the second foursome at 6:56am and pace was great. Then when we got to the back nine a group was allowed ahead of us and we had to wait up to 5 min every shot. On the tee box as well as the fairway.

The fairways are in very rough shape ranging from overly thick wet grass to dirt. The greens were all in very tough condition with a few of them being totally brown dead grass. The bunkers in places were full of grass and clover. We all got the feeling the course was either closing and trying to get what it still could out of players or had been totally closed and neglected due to Covid and was just reopening. The grass needs fertilizer and seed, not just water! There were many large puddles from over watering.

Usually golf courses need grass—not IPCC

I hope future patrons read this review. I’ve played here since 2005. The last two owners are interested in only taking money out and not keeping the golf course playable. No grass on fairways or greens; tee boxes full of weeds and dirt. This 27 hole layout has potential but not under current ownership. If they charged zero, I would not want to play there under current conditions. Cart issue—poor and no way that current management is buying new batteries. Took two carts to finish;

I won’t be back!!!

Indian Palms

Checking in no issues but figuring out where we were to start was a gong show. As there was a tournament on and no warning before booking was very frustrating. Royal course was pretty good but Mountain course was terrible. Fairways and last four holes we awful. Will not be back.

Fun short course

Got off early, finished early, but instead of playing the second nine scheduled, the starter moved us to a different nine because they were doing shotgun starts on both the other nines. Had the whole nine to ourselves.

The greens are relatively small and fast with subtle breaks, not obvious to a first time user. The fairways are relatively tight on a number of holes. Landing areas, particularly from the back tees, require nice straight shots.

Fairways were a little rough, but okay. It would help to have a course layout as there is water on some holes that is not obvious until it is too late. Not sure what the pin placement info was about since there didn’t seem to be a discernible pattern. On shorter holes, no problem.

Course decline

We played the course just one year ago, but there has definitely been a decline in the maintenance and upkeep. The tee boxes are just rocks scattered around and the fairways need fertilization. The biggest problem is with the golf carts. We played a 9 hole round on 3/2 and the cart barely made it through 9. When we played 18 holes on 3/6, we had to turn in our cart after 9 and the second cart did not make it through the remaining 9 and we had to quit after 6. The course has an interesting layout and some beautiful vistas, but who ever owns or manages the course is doing a disservice to the golfer, in addition to the homeowners and renters in the community. I realize it’s “cheap golf” but it’s not enjoyable because of the cart situation and we decided to never play here again.

Neglected old course

nice course made up of 3 nines, the courses need maintenance and more attention than currently being given. bot tickets as an online deal and the the round was very good value for the money. the carts require a better charging routine as some don't make it a full 18 holes

We waited 45 minutes after our tee time just to get a cart. We quit after 14 holes because our cart was never going to make it to the end. It was a t totally disorganized mess and I will never go back again.
