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

Course was in poor condition. Some greens on the back were in better shape. But fairways and tee boxes were awful.

This course needs work

I feel like we wasted our Golf Now gift cards in this course. The course was so so dry. They are also building more homes so some homes were negatively impacted as were the cart paths. We won’t be playing this course again.

First Visit to Indian River Reserve Golf Club

First visit to IR Preserve Golf Club was not a memorable one. I realize that the course has been affected by the recent freeze in Florida, but the poor fairways was probably there before the freeze in my opinion and was in poor condition. Greens were good and layout was very pretty. The golf course could have lots of potential if some more money and resources was pumped into the course. My last comment would be that the course could invest in placing garbage bins at every tee box. Very sad to see so much garbage in the woods and bushes along the tee boxes and greens. I cannot ever remember seeing so many beer cans and trash in any one golf course. I was confused at times if I was playing golf or visiting my nearest land fill. Clean up the trash, put garbage cans in and enforce to your visitors to not litter. Very Sad!!!

What could be

This layout is one if not the best I’ve played here in Florida but the course conditions are pretty sad. They clearly are trying and with all the construction of new home around it I suspect they will improve. I actually wouldn’t be surprised if someday this is a course we say we used to play before it either went under, or is so exclusive that it’s no longer open to the public. Time will tell but we all agreed that even though it’s over an hour away we will be back. If you want to see how good you really are on a tough track give it a try.

Very Poor Conditions

I know we had a freeze, which turns grass brown, and I get that. But the conditions of the course are terrible and from the looks of it were that way before the freeze. They did have nice green rye on most of the tees, but the fairways were terrible. The greens were so-so but still need a lot of work. I would not play here again until I am sure that much improvement has occurred. This used to be a great course, but unfortunately has gone to ...... Management needs to put money into the course and not their pocikets..

The course needs someone to give it some love

The greens and tee boxes are ok. The rest of the course is pretty rough conditions. The cart paths are in terrible condition.
