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.

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.

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.

Indian River Preserve- good course

Good overall course. Back 9 harder than front. Many holes with water, and some hidden if you hit driver off the tee far. Was very windy both times I’ve played making it much harder to focus. Fairways were okay but som dry grass and weedy spots. Greens were ok but some had some minor issue and are fast. Tee boxes a bit chewed up on most. Pace of play was quite slow the first I played but better the second. Clubhouse is small but staff friendly. Restaurant was good and staff friendly. Lunch options decent. Overall good course and challenging especially the holes hitting over water which are quite a few.

Good layout and fair yet challenging course

Good course for the value spent (under $45w/tax and fees) Pace was a bit slow the first nine but a foursome Let us pass by which helped. Tee boxes were ok, fairways decent, greens were pretty good and fast. Look out for water in unknown spots on back 9 as we did not have a GPS app to follow. Would play again. Club house was good too. And good deal for $6 for range balls and lunch. Overall, would recommend to play.

Great condition

The course was very challenging but fun. Will definitely play there again. The only problem was they let a single out behind us so we let him play through then the whole back nine was tied up. I think they need to pair off singles as this is a very busy time of the year.
