Not Great

The course has potential, but it just looks like it’s not maintained very well. The layout is nice, with some challenges off the tee. Fairway, bunkers, and green conditions are simply lacking.

Course needs repair

Most fairways and greens lack grass. Weeds are out of control. Course needs major help before summer heat and humidity arrive.

Nice round

The course has a good layout, but course conditions seem a little rundown. With a little bit of spring growth and some sprucing up it could be great.

Nice course but fairways were a little thin

Very nice course. My rating may be a bit unfair because this time of year, most public courses' fairways are not very lush. I'll come back and play it again in the late spring or summer when it should be a little greener. Very nice layout though. Challenging, but not extremely difficult.

Overall condiiton is average

The course was is ok shape but our experience was greatly diminished by an outing ahead of us. Upon arrival there were +/- 25 golfers on practice green getting rules and waiting to start. Pro shop said they are a shotgun start on holes 1-3 and they shouldn't delay play. Unfortunately many in the group felt compelled to putt out every hole for triple, quadruple + bogeys. This chocked up the course for a 5 hour round.

Greens were very fast but smooth. Some pin placement were extremely difficult and placed on humps on greens.

Indian River Preserve-Repeat

A golf course who addresses feedback. After speaking with the GM about conditions of the course and pace of play, not only did he listen but corrected conditions. Pace of play was not an issue. Past problem was due to third party booking system which created the overbooking. Conditions of T-blocks was due to some equipment issues which were corrected. Great to see this track back up to the high standards I am accustomed to seeing it at. Looking forward to playing this course again. A good track that is fun to play as well as provide the challenge to excite the golfer based on T-Blocks selected
