Indian River Preserve
The course had a tournament before our 10:44 am T-Time. They were 1 hour behind. Unacceptable! No marshalls on course. Groups were rushed out by the starter who was having a difficult time getting groups out. There were 3 groups on holes at times. A round where we waited on every shot. The T-blocks were over grown ( 1 1/2 inch high ). Higher than the rough. You can see that the blocks were only moved 3 times as those spots were lower or dead to the ground. Bunkers were a mixture of dirt and sand. Very poor for a Florida course where sand is abundant.
Its obvious that this course has cut back on maintenance and marshall in an effort to save money. Wrong approach with no regards for the paying golfer.
Thank you for your review! We appreciate you taking the time and we are glad to hear you had a nice day on the course! See you again soon!
Thank you very much for your review! We are glad to hear you had a good day on the golf course and we hope to see you again soon!
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review and we are glad to hear you had a good round of golf on the course. Hope to see you again soon!
I don't like this course
After talking with the staff, I realized it had been 6 years since I played here......did not like it then or now. Could just be me but there are many way better courses around Central Florida. The greens were rough and at the same time fast...softly hit putts bounced around and our foursome all had difficulty making most anything. The course generally has water down one side of the fairway and Florida jungle on the other...bring plenty of used balls. The fairways generally were good with cow pasture quality in places. The round on a Thursday noonish took 4 1/2 hours...was mighty glad when it was over.
Hi rnglover, we are very sorry to hear that your experience was less than satisfactory. Your comments will be shared with the rest of the team and we will try to improve so that your next visit is a good one.
Too slow
Unfortunately this course will sell you 18 holes full well knowing you cannot play more than 12.
We have 9 hole rates available all day and our super twilight rate starts at 3:00 and is only $4 more than our 9-hole rate. We have this so that golfers that are caught between having enough time for 9 and 18 holes still have a rate available.
We apologize if our staff did not do a good job of explaining your options at check-in. We try to have rates available at all hours that fit what our guests are looking for.
9 and 18 hole rounds both can be booked online, through our app, and also by calling the golf shop. We hope to see you again soon.
Very dry course conditions nice amenities
Very nice course layout. But barely any green grass in fairways or greens. The entire course including the greens were all dried up looks like they are in a drought and not been watered in weeks. Ponds all had plenty of water? Very Nice clubhouse and friendly staff. If watered would be a beautiful track of golf.
Hello wlawver! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Your feedback is very important to us as we strive to improve the course for our guests every day.
The brown and fast conditions you experienced during your round are not due to lack of water. As you referenced, we have plenty of water in the ponds to use for irrigated the golf course. In mid January, we had a two week stretch where we had frost on the ground in the mornings a total of 5 times. This pushes our Bermuda Grass into dormancy as it is a warm season grass and does not like it when temperatures dip down that low. When it goes dormant, it turns brown and growth slows down which results in the conditions you see.
Once we get a week or so where the night time temps stay around or above 60 degrees, the turf wakes up and starts growing again. When this happens, we have tons and tons of fertilizer we put down to help the process along and jump start the growth again.
The weather forecast for the next few weeks has the potential to be warm enough for the bermuda grass in Florida to come out of dormancy so if you prefer the conditions more like the spring and summer it should be just around the corner.
Thanks again for taking the time to offer us some feedback and we hope you are getting the opportunity to play lots of golf this winter!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We apologize that your experience was not good and we would be interested in hearing what went wrong and where we can improve so that your next visit is a great one.

Needs work
To begin The Tee Box is need a lot of work Fairways are mostly dirt the greens are inconsistent doing good shape summer slow Summer Fest not worth $50 it's a 25 to $30 course I feel sorry for everybody that's there I talked to a gentleman in the front office named Kevin he says as long as the members are happy with the course he doesn't care what the shape is I guess the members don't really know what a golf course looks like
Thank you for taking the time to offer us a review. We value the information our guests provide and use that to try and improve each day.
The golf course is currently in a state of dormancy right now due to the cold and frosts we have experienced up until recently. The turf is there and it is healthy, but it is currently laying down and seems thin due to the cold. We do not over seed our greens or fairways as we typically do not get prolonged periods of frost like we experienced this year so the bermuda grass does not typically go this brown or dormant. However, temperatures are starting to cooperate again and as long as they stay this way, the turf will wake up quickly and we have lots of products on hand to help push the growth once it starts up.
Again, thank you for the feedback and we hope to see you again soon for some warmer golf this spring!
Slow and unorganized
No ranger out on course… starter is worthless all he does is tell you to go to first tee.. four 2somes in a row.. tee time 10:40 didn’t tee off until 11… we asked the 2 some behind us to join us because we felt bad .. didn’t help .. almost 5:1/2 hrs..
Thank you for the feedback, Lendog77. We’re sorry your experience wasn’t the best it could be. We’ll use this as a learning experience as to how we can improve.
Hi u314159764549, thanks so much for rating us. Is there anything you’d like to share that we can pass along to the team? We value your feedback greatly. Thank you for visiting us at Indian River Preserve.
Nice Day of Golf
I had a great time. Met 2 nice guys down from Indiana and we got lucky with a nice day. I will always call this course Walkabout sorry just a traditionalist and think thats names better anyway.
Staff was very friendly. Sorry can't remember the lady in the proshops name but she was very nice. I would recommend buying the range and lunch deal! The Burger was great after the round and you can't beat it for $5-6 bucks.
I was impressed with the Starter Fritz he was on top of it and kept things moving in a organized professional way. Never easy herding cats and managing a early morning outing with a full tee sheet.
As for the course it was in good condition and played nicely. Green speeds were a good consistent speed throught all 18. I would recommend playing this course.
USAF12, thanks for taking time out of your day to review us. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Patience on the front, the back nine ignites
Great course, pace of play was a bit off, waited on every shot on the front, played fine on the back.
If you get a chance put this in the gotta play list.
Hi Canman04, thank you so much for the review. We look forward to serving you again soon!
Average at best
Not upset about my experience, just an honest review. To start, the staff were great. The course has potential but needs some love. The greens were good. Cut nice and rolled true. Fairways and tee boxes not so good. 5/10 overall
Hi bjonathan! The golf course is a bit on the dormant side after all of the frost and cold temperatures we have had in January. Things are starting to warm back up and things should green up and start growing again soon. We hope you'll visit us again in the future. Thank you for taking the time to offer us some feedback.
Firm fairways and greens. You have to think about where you want to land the ball. Will come back again
Hi u314160464484, that’s wonderful to hear. Thanks so much for leaving us a review. See you soon!
Thanks for the rating. If there are any details you’d like to share about what we are doing well, we’d love to learn more!
Nice , will be awesome soon
Amazing layout . Once mature will be one of the nicest around for sure
Thank you so much for your review and for the nice words. We're hoping for some warmer temperatures soon so we can really push some growth out there on the course.
We hope to see you again soon!
We’re thrilled to see you had a positive experience, SADOWSKI. If there are any details you’d like to share about what we are doing well, we’d love to learn more!

Thank you for offering us some feedback. We had some issues with our reservations system that ended up allowing tee times to be booked in slots that were meant to be blocked for the tournament that day. Our staff made their best effort to get everyone on the course as quickly as possible when it was available but we certainly had some difficulties that day. That is absolutely our fault and is not indicative of the experience at the course. Please reach out to randrews@indianriverpreservegolfclub.com as we would like to invite you back on a different day for a better experience as well as explain the reason for the tee boxes being a little longer than normal.
