Better options elsewhere

Decent layout. Tee boxes were probably the best kept part of the course. Fairways all weeds. Around greens mostly weeds and dirt. Greens are ok besides weeds woven in. Greens are very slow.

What Happened ?

A couple of weeks ago the course was pretty good, now the fairways have clumps of crabgrass and the greens were much slower.

Pleasant Round with Two Strangers on each nine

After an opening nine with a couple stranger from upstate NY, they didn't show up on the 10th tee so I played with two guys that were playing at least 5 groups behind me. Enjoyed playing with both twosome on a windy day.Only course criticism is th fairways need some work.

Course condition

I haven't played here in 12 years, I was expecting a very well looked after course , what I found was most tee boxes chewed up, fairways with bald spots to little grass . I told my friend if it in the supposed fairway lift in place on grass.. the greens are in trouble, various bald spots, they had punched or crosscut them , through sand on top of it to dress them . Leaving sand balls all over putting service. I have watched this process at other courses and they always Finnish the process with a long flexible pole running it back and forth to smooth out sand and to get it into the cuts. In the past i have played here 50 times dating back from when it opened and never saw it like this. My friend and I said it will be along time before we come back. 🤔

Not worth $50

They need water badly. Dry everywhere. If you dont want to hit off the dirt in the fairway, you can find some near by grabgrass to move your ball to. The greens are rough, some faster than others. You may want to move your ball away from the grabgrass on the greens. No signs to tell you that you are entering the clubhouse. And no signs after playing number 18 to tel you where the clubhouse is. Your two blocks away. If you can play it for $20 & are a 20 plus golfer, this course is for you. 3/21/25. Give it 2 months and alot of water and it maybe a little better.

Inexpensive golf challenge

Course is in rough condition and very challenging. But better golfers can handle it and it was not overpriced.

Not bad at all

With a lack of decent rain, fairways are thin in most courses in March. IRP is no different, but spotty places are not the norm. Almost all greens are without sandy spots, although there are a few. Had to go "cold turkey" without the driving range open due to their ball picker being broke. But still a good time. Pro shop help is the best.

Always a Great Day at Indian River

From Laurie in the Pro Shop to Fritz at the cart barn, the staff goes out of their way to make our day at the course enjoyable.

Problems on the greens.

Love this layout of this course. The greens were sanded in what appeared to be repair patches. Some places extensive which caused the need to move the ball to get a fair roll. Which rolled fast. The fairways had green grass and some parts actually needed to be cut.

Terrible

This course was in horrible condition. Greens were completely dead, fairways were dead, the bunkers were in poor condition. The pace of play was 5 hours for 18 holes. We spent majority of our time waiting. One of the worst golf experiences I’ve ever had.

Hidden Gem!

Great Course for the price!

A lot of water but great layout

10th Tee can use more signs for a first timer but still a great course. Might be my new regular spot!

Slow play and terrible greens

Starter does not start according to tee times. No ranger to keep up pace of play either. Stuck behind two foursomes that were easily 8 strokes in before even getting close to the green. No course etiquette, not playing ready golf. I was paired with two old folks from up north that were just as bad. Pointless to even try and play a decent fun round when you have to wait 20 mins at the tee box and then watching the people you're paired with scavenge for balls with their 15' ball retrievers. Really sick and tired of the slow paced northerners wrecking everybodies round behind them. Plus the greens are garbage and have been for a long time. Driving range is cabbage as well. Very disappointed with this course.
