The course layout is OK

The course would be more amateur friendly if the course personnel would make the pins more accessible on already very difficult undulating green. Nobody wants to 3 putt half the greens. Very difficult to score!

A Sunday round at Indian River

A great day to play in early December. Pretty light crowd and we were able to tee off a little early. The fairways were generally in good condition. The greens were dormant which was expected unfortunately they were pretty bumpy and grainy ,which with the speed made them pretty tough to putt. Also the pins were in some very difficult positions considering the condition of the greens. Also the 11th and 16th greens were in awful shape which they have been in for some time. It is a fun and interesting layout but the pin positions and green conditions made the round much more frustrating than it should have been.

Overall good layout with a number of different and challenging holes. The greens continue to be firm and bumpy. Improvement has been needed on them for a while.

Greens are slightly improving

Fairways need some moisture, but are acceptable. A few greens are in better condition then a month ago. There are a couple of greens in terrible condition. It’s like they have given up on them or have no idea how to repair them. Course could really be nice with some professional effort and knowledge.

Good Course with Friendly Staff

The fairways are in really good shape. The greens are decent except for a few spots on a couple of them. The staff really made me feel like I was at home. Everyone from the pro shop guys to the cart boys were so courteous and helpful. The golf carts seem new and have USB charging ports so my phone didn't die during my round. Indian River is an absolute bang for your buck!

Great Course

First time playing at Indian River and it was great! The fairways are in wonderful condition and the greens are solid except for a few give spots on some of the holes. The staff was very friendly and professional. The carts were also amazing and had usb ports for the on-cart speakers. Definitely worth it for the price and I will be returning!

Although I do enjoy playing this course it needs some major love. The greens are terrible! Staff is always friendly and will be back but for real do something about the greens.

Greens rock hard and sandy

These greens are terrible, I couldn’t put on them if my life depended on it but I guess you get what you pay for.

New clubs

Just got some new sticks, so I figured I'd give them a try at Indian River. I played here about 4 weeks ago and had the best round of my life. (lots of lucky bounces!)

The fairways are in pretty good shape. The tee boxes needed to be cut, which surprised me since they had their Member-Member tournament starting an hour after my tee time. And the greens are in poor shape. almost every green (except #15), needs some work/attention. Some greens (#17) have "bunkers" on them. Probably not somewhere you want to bring your friends from out of town, but it was a great place test my new irons. It was a very peaceful round and the staff was very friendly.

I'll definitely be back since I live about 15 mins away, but I wish they would give the greens a little more attention. It's a great layout, and a challenging course. If the greens were a little better then it would be one to rave about.

Good Course

I enjoy this course every time I play here, good for working on your game. The occasional green or fairway can be choppy but nothing that makes it unplayable or less fun. Would reccomend.

Great value

I play this course once every few months. It’s a little challenging for beginners like me, but a really enjoyable course to play. The staff is fantastic and they are putting in good work to care for it. The greens especially need some TLC with sandy spots throughout. But altogether it’s a good course at a great price!
