Grass is a great thing on a golf course

Interesting layout . Course was highly recommended but not much grass in fairways . Very poor conditions . Not even close to being worth what they charged .

First visit

Needs some grounds improvement. Fairways and tee boxes have thin grasses. Not very plush. Tee boxes were actually scruffy. Dirt not grass for most part. It was only $35. You get what you pay for.

Good value for first winter round this year

We were fortunate enough to get a relatively quick round in. Haven't played in two months so our game wasn't sharp. Tees and fairways are in good shape and some greens have spots. Overall good experience but played really slowed down the last 5 holes.

Diasppointing

Played this course last year and it was in much better shape. Other golfers crowded us from behind - several balls hit into our group and foursome in front of didn't play ready golf - slow. Won't be coming back soon.

Disappointment

I was very disappointed when playing this course. I did notice some definite improvements with the clubhouse, the restaurant and pro shop. But the course was not in the best of shape. And there was no Starter. Which means groups were going up to the first tee and going off when it was not even their time. At times, there were five or six groups waiting to tee off. And the play was ridiculously slow. Didn’t see a Marshall until we were on the twelfth hole!

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.

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.
