Lakes/River Golf Course Cocoa Beach Country Club

Course is nice.. it was pretty wet considering the recent rains. So, it was cart path only. But the thing that made it miserable were all the mosquitos! I think they could spray around the course to mitigate the mosquito prob. The other option would be to play in the heat of day when there are no mosquitos out. Playing early in the morning was BRUTAL.

I’ll say the good things first.

Greens were rolling really good for being spongelike. If it was cut down more they would have been lightening quick.

Layout has a lot of water into play and layout is really nice for having 27 holes all together.

Now the issues.

They are working on the tee boxes so temp boxes were just the rough mowed down some. Keep it mind.

The fairway was not kept well. Grass was as long as the rough and a lot of weeds, crabgrass, etc.

Felt like a backyard was mowed down to make a fairway.

If they maintain it better and once the course is completed, definitely will be a nice go to course on the coast

The scenary is wonderful. Course is on a peninsula so water all around and inside the course. They are rebuilding the Teeboxes so a lot of temp ones (pretty much hitting off rough)

The fairways are not managed well. They are over grown, too much crabgrass and weeds. It looks as if someone mowed their backward for a makeshift course.

The greens were the best part of the course. They were a bit spongy but rolling really well. If cut down a little more they would have been really quick!

I’d say once all the work is complete and they maintain it a little better, the course would be a definite go to on the coast.

Haven’t played this course in a while and it’s great. I will definitely be going back to play some more. The greens have such a nice roll to them and made my putting so much better. The mosquitoes were absolutely insane out there so make sure you bring lots of bug spray. I played the River/Dolphin holes and I think I only dealt with about 2-4 holes that were rough but under repair. The staff was friendly, the course was fun, and bring cash for the driving range because it was only $1 per token and each token was about 15 balls. Great value!

River course has a little of everything …. Shot challenges, sloping greens, great scenery and enjoyable golf ! Will play many times !! ⛳️

WHat a great course! Enjoyed it despite the heat. Staff was welcoming and was really helpfull. Definately would recommend to any who want to play golf there!

Golf course one of the better courses in Central Brevard. Course is in great condition! Get out and play!

…a lot of work now on almost all the tees on the River Course, so the holes are much shorter. Definitely try to get on the Lakes and the Dolphin. May take a few weeks for the tees to be ready. Gouging out a lot of the edges of the inside water, cleaning it up nicely. Hopefully the growth behind the River 2nd hole (great par 3) all the way up the 3rd (par 5), 4th (par 4) and first 200 yards of 5th (par 4) get thinned naturally to enhance those awesome water views. Greens are rolling nice, not Augusta, however you don’t have to bash the ball on those big paspalum greens. And they are not as hard a surface, so you can see your ball mark. Fairways are in better shape. Please use all the sand in your bucket on those extra divots that people ‘forget’ to fill.
