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.

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.

Tee Off should warn you

Indian River was OK, but Tee Off should warn you when the golf course is under repair or holes are closed.

Windy weather
Used cart

A windy day with light rain off and on during the round.

The twin bald eagles were beautiful to see on the mid front nine.

We were a party of three. Nice front desk gal! We had two carts and one of the carts pooped out our second hole. Annoying but okay. The personnel was nice to come and exchange out the cart.

Anyway. So nice to be outside anytime!

Thank you.

Decent course for the price

Some of the courses in NSB are suffering from lack of rain and diseases to the greens. IRP was a little above average when compared to the other area courses. It is a nice walkabout with a few challenging holes. They need to clean up some of the litter (mostly beer cans) strewn around the course.

A joyous St. Patty's Day Round

Be sure to get the range and lunch plan. The lunch options are great, and the restaurant staff are the best. Plus, it is always a great day to visit with Laurie in the Pro Shop.

I R P

Great value, tees and greens in playable shape, fairways are in lousy condition. Overall a difficult test. The layout is in my opinion very fair but the lack of grass makes the course hard to play. Consider going to IRP to play / practice.

no grass

Went past this course on my way to Melbourne and decided to give this course another try ,I had played it last year and was not happy with the condition lots of sand on green so we could not get a true role. fairways didn't have much grass. This year conditions were not any better.If you pay more than 30.00 you payed to much
