Good value - improving conditions

While most courses are very overpriced right now, Indian River Preserve is fairly priced for the current conditions. It’s talking with other players, the conditions are improving. I would the course because of it’s value.

Years a go was a real nice layout, very little housing. Nothing but golf course. More housing but layout still very nice. Now fairways patchy and greens similar.

Indian River Preserve

The staff is outstanding! Keith and Laurie are fantastic, Mike is also helpful, friendly and awesome.

The course continues to improve as they work on it, better than the Summer. There are some challenging holes and at times, pin placements. The course has tee boxes that, while short, can be cause for good shots. I play this course often and it is always a pleasure. Check it out.

Welcome Back IRP

Looked back to see when was the last time I played IRP. Acknowledging that it was over 2 years ago I also made a note that at that time "course was in sad shape". Now this course is only about 1/2 hr. away but had seen a progressive slide in the times leading up to this. Very happy to report that IRP is on it's way back. Not perfect but definitely worthy of playing a round or two this winter. Always a nice layout and terrific staff their tee boxes had some fresh growing grass and fairways not as thin as others reported. Greens were very playable although soft from pre-round rain. The one area that needs attention now if the bunkers, with some growth in them . All in all, IRP will see me more often in the future and if you want a nice course at a good rate for winter time in Florida take a ride over.

Overall, a fun course

We’ve played this course for years this time of the year when we visit on a golf trip from CT. This time was probably the first time since Covid. Amazed at all the homes that have shown up on the course, not always a pleasant thing. The course itself was in average condition. Fairways the poorest shape, greens and tee boxes ok. Cart paths worn out in many places Needs a starter or ranger to control the problem we faced yesterday. Play was slow when we could see 2 twosomes in front of us and a single behind us who eventually drove right by us on the 5th or 6th hole with a few choice words. We were held up by the 2 foursomes on all 18 holes. Grouping these smaller groups would open up the course. Nobody likes to wait

Hidden gem

I have nothing but good things to about this course.

Tee boxes-manicured and level

Fairways-great condition. Just ensure your hit them or you will be penalized

Greens-fast and smooth

I did not expect this for the price. It is a hidden gem

a bit tough for me

This is a nice course in good condition, good carts and friendly staff. The front nine, for me, was way easier than the back nine. I shot 9 more strokes there on holes that had serious hazzards, water to carry and tight landing zones. From Orlando, if you feel like a field trip it is worth trying. Would not recommend to any who does not have serious skills and bring lots of balls

Beautiful layout

I have always enjoyed this golf course, and intend to play it again. Currently it has quite thin grass on the fairways and many dry spots which make hitting good shots a challenge.

I know that with some rain and time it will improve.
