Position matters

Tee off with your approach shot position in mind. A challenging course presenting some exciting blind shots. A fun course.

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.

Challenging course, beautiful greens

We had a fun challenging round, greens and fairways were beautiful. Staff was great and the lunch at the bar was perfect. Only thing i would change is adding some pictures of the holes on the scorecard or maybe by the teebox.

Excellent value

As always the course is in good shape even after dealing with a few hurricanes that hit the area. The areas where water is an issue, the area is cordoned off. A few of the traps need attention. Need to remove weeds. One other non-course issue which needs special attention is the trash I see in the wooded areas. They are numerous beer cans and debris which needs to be picked up. Again, I always enjoy playing there and hope to return soon.

Great staff, course needs TLC

Beautiful day, great staff. Great layout, needs work. Fairways were rough. I love this course, just needs TLC. Pace of play was hideous. Two couples cut in on 10th and the back nine took nearly three hours. Slow and bad. I’ll be back, during the week.

Indian River Preserve

Very cold windy day- course in good shape - better then I expected since we had a hurricane a week ago. A couple greens had sand on them from repairs but no big deal. Some wet spots -but again no biggie. Staff at this little jewel always helpful. Very pretty course- a great value for the money.
