Had I known greens were sanded Heavily I wouldn’t have waisted my time. Staff should notify patrons prior to accepting payments. Also an $11.50 hot dog would be justified at Yankee Stadium but not so at a public course.

Course Conditions

A great day to play golf. The fairways were in good condition but fairway bunkers had not been maintained for a few days as were traps around greens. Many of the greens had repair areas on them. The course layout is fun to play requiring imagination. I would play it again.

Disrespectful Staff

Showed up to play, checked in, then went to get my cart. Cart person was rude, sarcastic and uninterested in providing customer service. I just took my clubs and left. Will not return.

Great Golfing!

It has been a while since my last round of 18 at the Indian River. Serious upgrades to fairways and greens made it a lovely golfing. Good weather made it even more fun. My Tee time was around noon. The best time to play. There was zero wait at every hole to my surprise. Some greens have few spots in need of greening. I gladly recommend the course.

Tough play

Course played difficult. Fairways in good shape, some wet areas. Tee boxes need work, many greens had barren areas. Several holes have limited landing areas if you miss the green. Rough was punitive. Restaurant good, staff friendly, good lunch + range balls deal.
