Indian River Preserve

The tees were very impressive, flat and green. The fairways were not well kept. The greens had just been topdressed, and there was no notification published on Golf Now. All greens had risk reward, with a fair bailout. The housing department adjacent to the fairways has really increased, but the building do not intrude or distract from play. The clubhouse is very impressive, and staff was nice.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the condition of the fairways and the lack of notification about the topdressing of the greens. We appreciate your feedback and are glad that you enjoyed the tees, clubhouse, and the friendly staff.

Tough Course- Wet and Windy

Have played this course the past 3 years during the start of the year. Last year it was dry as dust, this year it's very wet. Don't think they've cut or rolled the greens in some time. With the wind, it is very hard to hit greens in regulation for guys who shoot high 80's or low 90's. From there the greens are tough to read, many splotches and damaged areas. Three putts happen all to often, With NO grass on the fairways, you're hitting off dirt making it that much harder. I need to play more courses in the area but this one is at the bottom of my list which is unfortunate.

Pebble Beach Greens!

Greens were terrible, there were “pebbles” all over the greens - not sure if it was from heavy rains the night before, but crazy to putt!!!

Great layout- poor conditions

Great layout. Par 3’s are all tough. No grass in the fairways. Greens were sanded and rolled (bounced) inconsistently.

Zombie Greens….literally living dead

The course is excellent however the greens are infected with a “mold”. The greens need a wide punch aeration then holes filled with sand. The mold is causing the grass to “smear”. Not trying to play the course down … giving you the truth

From tee to green the conditions were unacceptable. Maybe the time of year I hope but I wouldn’t recommend playing this course in January

Good, not great

The course is challenging and was in somewhat rough shape. We noticed this especially on the fairways, and some of the greens. But the price was right, and the staff were exceptional. The Club House is beautiful too. Be prepared for lots of water hazards. These are fun if you're hitting well. Otherwise.... look out!
