IRP Review

Used to be a member at this course and do like to play it on occasion. I did find that they have done a lot of work bring the course back up to par. Considering that is has gotten a lot of rain, it was in pretty good shape.

Course is in rough shape

Found this place on golf now. The pictures looked awesome, reviews were good. Went and played and it was a major disappointment. The course was in the worst shape that I could imagine. The greens were like Velcro, huge patches of dry grass on the greens, the fairways were mine fields and the weeds completely out covered the grass. The tee boxes were mostly dirt, and overall this course just sucked. We stopped after 9 holes and just went home. Do not recommend this to anyone

Greens getting better

This course has been through it's ups and downs in the last few years. It's trending up now but still needs work. Greens are better than a few months ago. Fairways are not great. Some are better than others. 80% of tee boxes need work. Staff is always great.

Great place to golf and have lunch or breakfast

This is our third time and we have enjoyed each time. There are a few fairways that need some work but overall it’s a great place to play golf. The restaurant has also been good each time we have eaten there. Would highly recommend.

Great course for the price

Friendly staff, Course has great landscape - conditions can be a little brash on some fairways and tee boxes, but greens are good. Layout out has some very tight landing zones with challenging blind tee shots from the back tees. Overall good experience will return

Cart Path Only??

When a Course is going to have Cart Path Only, they should post it before you waste time going all the way there. Cart path only plays way too slow.

Otherwise, I like this course

Nice course

This was our first time at this course. Good value for money. Course was in fair condition. With recent rains had a lot of water on the unpaved cart paths and some areas of course. Lots of sand traps but luckily I stayed out of there for the most part! Greens were in pretty good shape. Tee boxes and some of fairways needed some work. Would go back again.

Layout is solid. Some tee boxes definitely need some attention, greens look much better than the last time. Would play again, good value for the money.

Indian River Preserve needs work

The course is not in very good condition. A lot of the tee boxes and fairways need a lot of work. The greens were in good shape for the most part. Not recommended until they get it back in good shape.

Tough course

I play here three or four times a year cause it’s about an hour from my house but honestly it’s too difficult for a person of my skill level to enjoy ….front nines manageable back nine is

really difficult no place for beginners or people who can’t hit it accurately try it out you might enjoy it. It beats me up.
