Awesome
Great course in excellent condition for this time of year. Will delay again.
Back 9 had trouble finding tee boxes
Hard to find 10 tee box, hole 13 blind par 3, brush overgrown, hard to see top of flag. Hole 17 i drove past tee box.
Lack of water
Florida on the summer is always hot. This day was no exception. After a warmup on the range, the putting green and the first hole my jug was empty. There is aw water point between 1 and 2. Not even a jug for water. 2 holes later the beverage cart came by. Was told there was no water on the course due to a new state law. They would provide 2 20oz bottle, one for the front and one for the back. After a 3 hour front 9 we were done. Made my grievance at the pro shop. They said it was a new state law about courses having water available. I researched and found the only law is they would fall under OSHA guidelines and maintain cleanliness of the jug and water. My guess is they don't want to do that and find it cheaper to give everyone 40oz of Members mark water and call it a day. I played 3 other courses since then, all of which provided water on the course. I always liked the course layout but I will not be back unless the round is free and I get to bring my cooler with me.
COURSE NOT MAINTAINED
COURSE SEEMS TO LACK ENOUGH STAFF
& DOING BARE MINIMUM INCLUDING MOWING GRASS & KEEPING FAIRWAY ROUGH PROPERLY CUT. COURSE HAS AMAZING POTENTIAL YET WHEN YOU CANT FIND BALL IN BASIC ROUGH OR EVEN IN FAIRWAY MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO PLAY. EACH STAFF WORKER WERE TRULY ALL WONDERFUL INCLUDING PRO SHOP, STARTER TO THEIR RESTAURANT(FOOD REALLY GOOD EACH TIME EATIMG THERE.
Getting better
Definitely getting better, but still needs a little love. Greens looked better but didnt roll true at all. Too many bad spots, needs a good sanding. Rough is too thick, this isn't Oakmont CC. Staff is always very nice and friendly. The restaurant is excellent. Love the course layout. Its begging for a little more love, this used to be one of the best courses around.
Staff and layout are only good thing about the course
First off, if you come here then you need to bring a cooler with lots of water in it. The course does not put out coolers for the players and it is hot. They said it was a new law (which it’s not a law at all to not be allowed to provide water jugs for golfers). It took us 2 hours and 45 minutes to play the front 9 with the group in front of us. No Marshall anywhere to be found. We had to complain and ask for a rain check for the back 9 because it was even more bottled up at the turn. We will be giving those to a family member that lives close by that course as we’re not interested in returning.
The greens are the slowest greens I think I have ever putted on and they are very soft as well. You could see spike marks from the golfers in front of us and we had to continuously stamp down drag marks and blemishes on the greens. All of the staff we interacted with were very friendly and the bar and restaurant are both good with great priced drinks and food.
Lost Balls
If not infair way kissyor ball good bye .Slow play because players looking for thierball.
ON THE WAY BACK
HAD HEARD THAT INDIAN RIVER WAS IMPROVING SO AFTER NOT PLAYING 3 YEARS WHAT THE HACK GIVE IT A GO GREENS WERE VERY GOOD FAIRWAYS HAVE A WAY TO GO BUT THE LAYOUT IS NICE AND CHALLENGING I WILLSAY GIVE IT SHOT BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO MOVE YOUR BALL A ROUND ON THE FAIRWAY OH BY THE WAY GREAT WELCOME FROM THE PEOPLE THAT WORK THERE
Jeez…
Where do I start. Fairways are bumpier than any course I’ve played in Orlando, Daytona and NSB area. There is not any pavement for the carts ever, which is fine but it’s not even leveled. The only saving grace is maybe a 3.5/5 star greens, and that’s being generous. I absolutely would not drive out of my way to play this course. If you got some sort of friends or family in the course, sure. Shot a 39 on the front which is more open, then a 44 on the back, lots of blind shots from the tee which isn’t…ideal. But I’m less upset at that and just how the ball bounced on the fairway. Overall 2.5/5 course.
Better Days
Greens were pretty good, fairways need some work. Weather was hot without much of a breeze most of the round, but I played by myself and enjoyed playing the course. I didn't play very well but humility is a good lesson.
Totally Pleased
I think you will not be disappointed in the condition of the course, layout and the challenge. There was great parking. Easy access to carts. A full restaurant I enjoy playing this course and it's worth the 35 mile drive to get there.
Golf
Greens were in very good shape tee boxes and fairways were pretty Horrific looks like they are trying to fix but a bit of new road and Home construction on front nine back nine was okay from that just rough fairways and tee boxes love this course layout has lots of unique holes and is challenging have played this course since it first opened as Walkabout would play more often if it was in better shape
Good value for a decent course
The course wasn’t in championship condition by any means, but it was in good enough condition to play and have a good time. Was a great price and the course facilities were good.
Pace of play?!
I played yesterday and today with discounts from golf now. Today’s round was horrible. Front nine went well at 1.5 but the back nine was ridiculous, over 2.5. Two to three groups waiting on tee boxes sometimes. That ruined the round but I would still come play with a discount from GN.
Better then expected
I bought a round off of Golf Now for $20. It was well worth it. I would return with a GN deal but probably wouldn’t if I was paying the full price. There was very little grass on the tee boxes, the fairways were hit and miss, but the greens were pretty good. Friendly staff inside and out. Warning: don’t be getting to close to the water with your ball retriever, I had a small gator bite down on it while trying to grab a ball! How about the pic?! Look closely and you can see the 20ft extended flag on this par three.
Needs work
The course has a beautiful layout with awesome views. The course however is currently in bad shape and has been for quite a while. I quit after the front 9 because it wasn’t enjoyable.
