About Indian Palms Country Club

Historic 27-hole country club in the heart of Indio.

Indian Palms Country Club sits on the historic ranch of aviator Jacqueline Cochran and financier Floyd Odlum, and its 27-hole course, which Cochran co-designed, opened in 1948 as the first public golf course in the desert. Today the guard-gated community holds thousands of residences, from 1970s-era condos to newer single-family homes, some with 50-foot enclosed RV garages, and no golf membership is required to play. Minutes from the Empire Polo Club grounds that host Coachella and Stagecoach, with short-term-rental-friendly rules, it is one of Indio's most versatile buys for full-timers, snowbirds, and investors alike.
