As flat as you can get it

Since this is near the coast, I expected a level course. Didn't disappoint there. Fairly wide fairways keeps the ball in play off the tees, especially on the front 9. Grass is not thick, but it is February. Back 9 puts more water in play. Greens roll pretty good. Tee boxes a little torn up. Tees not marked well on some holes making you wonder where to play from. Overall a good track. Would play again.

Needs work

I have played this course several times for tournaments, but this was the first time I played it starting at the 1st tee. The pro shop staff and other cart staff were OUTSTANDING. They told I couldn't tee off until 2:44 pm as there were several college teams playing and they needed spacing between us and them. I was paired up with two women and a man who were all in their 70s so our pace of play was slow and I saw no problem of catching up to the college kids who were at least 4 holes ahead of us. The course is ok for the hot deal offered on Tee Off, but I would definitely not pay the normal asking price. There were parts of the course that were little better than the cow pastures next door. On the other hand, there were holes that were in quite good shape. I would recommend playing this course whenever a discounted rate is offered online. As to the college kids, we caught up with them on the 15th hole and couldn't finish the round because of darkness. Imagine that, 3 70 year olds and a 60 year old playing faster than 20-something kids.

Thank you for playing Indian River Preserve. We appreciate your comments because, without comments from valued customers like yourself, we cannot strive to be the best that we can be. Our course has some issues with conditions and I can assure you we are working to correct them. I am sorry that you were not able to finish your round due to the college event. We are of the belief that it is not that you make mistakes, but it is how you deal with them that makes the difference. With that said we would like to make this right by inviting you back to Indian River Preserve as our guest at your convenience. Please reach out to our General Manager Paul Martino at 321-385-2099 or paul.martino@bobbyjoneslinks.com. We look forward to hearing from you.

Challenging layout

Very testing layout. The course is fair for all skill levels but choose the right tee boxes for your ability and you will enjoy it to its best. Greens in good shape overall despite a few bare spots on some. Add the lunch option for a great value which also comes with range balls. I highly recommend this course.
