Not bad but deteriorating conditions

Was playing as a single so they let me play back nine first. Finished total round in a shade over two hours even though cart path only. Have played this course over last several years when I visit family in the area. This area had been hammered by rain so conditions were what I expected.. very sloppy but mostly playable. My major concern is the expanding infestation of weeds in the fairway . The greens were slow but that was to be expected with all the rain. Bunkers were sort of playable but I was only in one fairway bunker so not sure about free side bunkers. The staff in Proshop and the starter were very accommodating in letting a single avoid the traffic on the front and reverse the nines. Will try to play later in the week and get a better idea about fairways.

We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the teams in charge so they can work to make changes. As you mentioned, the recent rain and hurricanes have put a lot of water on the course. This has slowed projects to recover from weeds and retile the bunkers. We appreciate your patience as we get everything up to par. Thanks for visiting The Habitat Golf course, we hope to see you again in the future.

Course management

Why is it the County doesn’t have more people working on the course? You go to any course in the county and you see a dozen workers maintaining the course you go to Habitate and you see one guy Pete is he getting paid that much that they used up there county payroll? You might be better off hiring a landscapeing company like Impact in Vero that has about 50 to 100 employees and have there own equipment think about it the county would save ten of thousands of dollars not having to maintain equipment or employees benefits and there fast and conscientious

Hello. Thank you for taking the time to review the course. With the hurricane Irma hitting the area, we have been working to recover from all of the rainfall and damage from the storm. We understand the current condition is not ideal. Our team is trying very hard to get everything back to normal. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we strive to improve after the storm.

Disappointed

The Habitat has always been my favorite place to play, but recently (last 2-3 months) the course conditions have decline to the point where it's not worth the effort nor time to play there. The greens, once the best in Brevard have been overrun with crabgrass and has gotten to the point where you have to get relief or your putts won't stay online. Tees are a mess and weeds have overtaken them. Fairways, once covered with bermuda are now dominated by crabgrass. It's a real waste of a fine track and one of the most serene golf course you will ever play!

Hi, George. We apologize that there was a miscommunication due to the recent hurricane. We spoke to the team at GolfNow and they confirmed you have already been refunded for the round. We are working to reopen this weekend but the storm has left the course in recovery mode this week. We ask that you give us time to get everything up to par before your next round.

Course has changed hands recently. Fairways are fairly wide, but roughs are punishing.

A great value for the $$$. Not usually crowded

Nice track

I love Habitat's location, design, absence of homes surrounding the course, friendly staff, fairways, greens, even the rough, BUT, someday they have to look critically at their Tee Boxes and zero Bunker management. It is disheartening to love playing there until one gets up on the Tee full of a multitude of weeds, or one has to get out of a Green side Bunker without the Sand Wedge bouncing to an ugly conclusion. Hopefully, once Season starts, there is a plan to address these areas.

Cross your fingers.

This is a great layout in decline. The greens are still true but the standards have slipped below where the layout indicates they should be. The restrooms are dirty, the cut grass is clogging the fairways and they have no liquor license. It is still a fun to play course but has the potential to something special. Hopefully the new ownership bring the standards up.

Good trek thru the wildlands

Habitat is a good value. Decent conditions given the price and some interesting variety of holes in a natural, wildlife sanctuary envirionment. This is what golf is all about and the staff is very enlightened. I play here about once a month despite a 75 mile drive from Orlando each way. Worth it every time.

The greens

The overall course is in great shape. The only bad part is the greens are still in bad shape because of newly being punched.
