We have a vacation home at Indian Palms so we play the course quite often. If you play golf in the Coachella Valley you know you can easily pay well over $100.00 between December and April and still pay between $40.00 and 70.00 in summer. Well here is where Indian Palms shines. In “season” you can play for under $80.00 (carts always included) and the green fees start to drop in May, and if you don’t mind playing in the summer heat you can play unlimited golf for $25.00 to $35.00 per day! In winter you will be hard pressed to find better greens and in summer the greens are just a bit longer (so they don’t burn up) but still better than most greens in the valley. The fairways are always in very good condition. The three different nines have their own personalities and are very enjoyable to play. I have played from Pebble Beach to Old St. Andrews and can say with all honesty for the money this is one of the best values in the Palm Springs area. Don’t pass up the grill for lunch, all the food is good-I have never had a bad meal and I have been eating there since 2007. Good bar, they have a couple good beers on tap and they pour an honest cocktail at fair prices.
Would travel: 10-20 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
