Great Play
We recently played on a busy Saturday morning. The pace was slow going in the beginning, but a few groups let us play through which was nice. Even with all of the rain, the course was not overly wet and playable. The staff is always top notch and extremely friendly. If you have never played this course, purchase a layout book or use an app which shows the layout. It will help and makes the round more enjoyable. Go play here! You won’t regret it.
Nice layout
I have played this course before, and everything was great except they insist on letting fivesomes play. These are older regulars I guess, but was annoying following them. This is second time this has happened. That is my only complaint
Thank you for your review. Our policy is we actually do not allow fivesomes on the course. Occasionally, groups will pair up when out there but if you call the golf shop we will send a ranger around to ask them to split up. We hope to see you again soon!
Thank you for your review! We are pleased to hear you had a great day at the golf course. Our new superintendent is doing a great job and we are excited as we continue to invest in golf course improvements moving forward!
Great course if kept up
Pretty good course. Right now it looks a little bit unkept. Weeds everywhere and tee boxes were like driving out of the rough.
Thank you for leaving us some feedback. Our grounds crew has made significant progress on the golf course this growing season and things are in great shape. We are also overseeding the tees and driving range for the winter and they should be in really great shape!
Nice course
The course was in nice condition and the rate of play was good. The only issue is they haven’t updated the course information since it changed from Walkabout. Since the information hasn’t been updated it made the game a little more difficult especially since they do not show the hole layout on the cards or signs. They do have an app with the layout but it wasn’t that great. If they would update the course info this place would definitely be in my top 10.
Hi Dan! Thank you for taking the time and to leave us a review.
Just so we can get it corrected, can you let us know where you are seeing dated information?
Also, what features would you like to see added to the app to make it better for you? We are always striving to improve so your feedback is very welcome. Our app users like the built in GPS and ability to touch anywhere on the hole and it shows the distance to that point. The more features we can add the better!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Your feedback is important to us and we are sorry to see you did not have a good experience at the club. Please email info@indianriverpreservegolfclub.com with more details about your visit so we can know how to improve before your next visit.
Thank you!
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!
Thanks so much for rating us. Is there anything you’d like to share that we can pass along to the team?
COME
Course in good shape, challenging, definitely worth playing. Tee boxes a little scabby but fairways, green, and sand traps good shape.
Thank you for your great review! We are working hard to continue improving the course conditions and the tees are really coming along nicely! We are overseeding them all for the winter and are really looking forward to them being in great shape this cool season!

Great looking course with above average conditions and one of the best layouts I’ve played in Central Florida. My brother and I can’t wait to be back.
Too bad
This course is sadly neglected. The T boxes are Sandy and laden with crab grass. The fairways also are laden with crab grass. The greens are slow and diseased and spots of sandiness and crab grass. I remember a few years back and prior when it was absolutely the best. Needs lots of TLC.
Hi Richard,
Thank you for your review. The course is coming out of a heavy drought that did impact course conditions to some degree. We only had 5.5 inches of rain from March 1-May31. However, now that rain is coming back regularly, the course is mending quickly. The sand you see on the greens and tees is top dressing sand that we put down to help give the grass some material to grow and to help smooth out the surface as the sand settles in. We also use an organic material in our sand which gives it a dark color which can often look a bit ugly when it is put down but it is extremely beneficial for the turf.
The negative to the rains starting up is it does cause the spring weeds to all start germinating at once. The goose grass that you see around the golf course has actually already been sprayed out and will start disappearing over the next two weeks. Give us a couple weeks to benefit from the rains that we are getting and you will see the golf course improved tremendously from where it was during your recent visit due to the drought.
Thanks again for the feedback and have a wonderful day.
Disaster
No grass to be seen. Fairways like concrete. Greens completely destroyed. Unfortunate because the layout is very good and challenging.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and offer some feedback. We are battling one of the worst weather seasons on record. We went straight from a cold and frosty winter (dozen frosts) straight into a drought that started in March and has not let up since then. On this stretch, our last day of measurable rain was all the way back on May 5th. Due to the high temps, low humidity, and steady wind, the course is very dried out. We are putting out over a half million gallons of water (our full allotment from the county) each night. We have also put down several tons of organic fertilizer across the whole course which helps capture some of that moisture and hold it in longer. Since we are built on an old orange grove, our soil is very sandy and water runs right through. With all of the nutrients in the soil, we expect to see very rapid improvement in the golf course as soon as we get some rain coming through. We have missed both of the last days of rain as it rained all around but not on the course. The rainy season is here so it is only a matter of time. I hope once we have gotten some regular rain and have enough water to push the golf course along that you will give us another chance and see the course improve. Thanks again for your feedback. This will be relayed to the grounds crew.
Thank you for your review! We hope to see you again soon!
first time played
fairways and greens need watering. tee boxes were in poor condition.
Thank you for your honest and candid feedback. We are currently in the midst of one of the worst droughts in the last few years. The course was built on an old orange grove so it is very sandy and does not do well with holding onto moisture. We are putting out over a half million gallons of water per night, which is our maximum allotment from the county. We are doing a lot of work to help combat the dry conditions and as soon as the rainy season does start up, the course should rapidly recover. We hope you will give us another chance once the rains set in so you can see how much we have improved. Thanks again and have a great day!
Thank you for your review. We would love to hear more about your experience so we can work to improve for your next visit. Please email info@indianriverpreservegolfclub.com so we can continue this discussion further.
Terrible shape
Played this course a few times over the years. Even when it was Walkabout. Clubhouse and restaurant are awesome. Course conditions are horrible. From tee to fairway to rough to greens it’s in terrible shape. Very inexpensive in the afternoons but can’t recommend this place to anyone I know for the next year or two. I know they just punched their greens recently but you can tell they won’t be very good till way beyond the normal healing time. If ever. Quirky layout in spots. Always has been but the conditions leave ALOT to be desired. It’ll be a couple years at least till I try this course again. If ever.
Hi Pingdave14. Thank you for taking the time to offer us some feedback. While we hate to hear you had a poor experience at the club, your feedback is important to us as we work very hard to improve. We have been in the midst of a horrible drought since March and it has not let up as of yet. The course is built on an old orange grove, which means very sandy soil. Water tends to run right through it so while we are putting out over a half million gallons of water on the course, when we have these 90 degree low humidity days with steady winds, it tends to dry us out. Our team is working very hard to fight these conditions including putting down 8000 square feet of sod on the tees and tons of fertilizer that helps hold in moisture across the entire golf course. Once rains get here, the course will improve rapidly. The greens have actually made a decent recovery and with just a bit of rain, I think you would be surprised to see how far they have come. Please reach out to info@indianriverpreservegolfclub.com and we'd be happy to go into more detail on all of the things we are doing to combat the drought and to have the course ready to blossom when the rains start. Thanks again for your review and have a wonderful day.
Super friendly staff. The course is well maintained. Greens are always in great shape.
Love this course.
Thank you so much for your positive review. Our grounds crew is working hard every morning to improve the course for our guests. We hope to see you again soon!
Thank you for your wonderful review. We appreciate the kind words and continue working hard to improve the course each day!
