Don't play this course now

The greens are in very bad shape basically unputtable...wait until June maybe for recovery. Generally, the front nine is tough to play and the back nearly impossible to play unless you have tremendous ability to land in limited in bounds locations. Out of bounds is a jungle or water, bring lots of golf balls.

Fun Time on a Windy Day!

Indian River is always a fun round and challenging course. Once the greens get into shape it will rejoin the upper level, moderate priced golf course options.

Greens

Terrible, maybe next season. Too many bumps from little clumps of grass / weeds that you can’t avoid on every single putt. Hope it gets better soon.

Nice clubhouse, layout and friendly staff!

Second visit to this course. I enjoy the layout and staff was very friendly and helpful. We were told ahead of time that the greens weren’t in the best shape due to a fungus and they weren’t lying. Greens were in tough shape but playable. Was offered a second round at a reduced rate for the inconvenience. It was nice that the staff was transparent about the issue and attempted to compensate players for the inconvenience. Many of the Sand traps lacked rakes and there wasn’t as beverage cart service during our round which would have been welcomed. Carts were in good condition. Would play again but may wait. Month or two for greens to come back.

Most of the green were in bad shape- it isthat time of the year! Grounds crew have been working hard, and the greens will come along soon. Warmer weather is also helping

Ugly

Fairways bald and patchy with crabgrass. Greens were slow and lots had bald spots. Holes cut from before were shallow and crooked. 2 water coolers were empty. I have seen this course looking much much better in the past..

$20 PP at best

The course is in pretty bad condition, possibly from a previouse hurricane or storm destruction...most likely neglected. There was some work being done.

The restaurant and staff, on the other hand, were amazing !
