Although a little rough in areas some improvements are noticed. Very interesting layout. You have to make some key shots to do well.
Love the layout..Hate the conditions
We love this track...but not in the winter....fairways are lumpy, most of the greens seem to have several types of grass as they are dormant and they have spotty green areas of another type of grass. This criticism is probably because of winter conditions...but we won't play until late spring...hopefully they get a hold on it!
Thank you for your review. We take your opinions seriously, and are constantly looking to improve the customer experience. Please feel free to reach out to us at info@indianriverpreservegolfclub.com to discuss your concerns further.
Course Needs Word
Course is not in good shape. Needs irrigation. Tee boxes and fairways dry and a lot of bare areas. Greens very dry and weeds, although mowed, are popping up. For the money, I don't plan to play again this year. Hopefully next year will see improvement.

We’re sorry to learn you didn’t have a positive experience. If you would like to share any information with us on how we can improve, we would love to hear from you.
PRETTY NEAT OLD LAYOUT
Tightish, undulating greens that require your full attention.. Reasonable length fairway grass. Some holes remind me of Ko'olau on Oahu which was at the turn of the Millennium, had the highest slope rating in all of golf!
We are very pleased to hear you had a great experience at the club today. We appreciate your positive remarks and look forward to seeing you again soon!
Looking a lot better
This course has had its up and downs. I've been playing it for 4 years now and it is currently in the best shape I've seen it. The greens are much better. They have done a lot of work on it and the improvements are obvious. If you are looking for a good mix of easy layout with some difficult holes along the way to test you, this course has a little something for you.
Thank you for the positive remarks. Our crew has been working very hard to continue to improve the golf course conditions and we have things in a place that we should continue to progress forward as warmer weather returns. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
We're sorry to hear of your less than satisfactory experience and hope you will accept our sincerest apologies. We are committed to providing great guest experience. We would love to hear more specific details as to how we can improve your next visit to the club. Please reach out to info@indianriverpreservegofclub.com
Florida Winter Golf
I play this course often. Employees are great. The course is experiencing typical FL winter conditions. The Bermuda grass is dormant and not as lush and green as most golfers expect. Player should be encouraged to fill their divots and fix ball marks on the greens so when the grass does begin to grown again it will fill in appropriately. I suggest opening the course to walkers only for 9 holes in the afternoons on certain days of the week. This could be cost saving to the course, Covid 19 friendly and reduce the number of hackers who should stay on the range until they can hit straight..
It was a pleasure serving you. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and being so open with us.
We hope you'll come and see us again soon!
Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. We want you to feel comfortable sharing good or bad news with us. I'm so sorry that your visit with us fell short of expectations. I also want to thank you for giving us a chance to improve.

fun course to play
Good condition overall. Good variety of shots needed, greens in good shape.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. We hope to see you again soon.
Disappointed
For a course in a community this fell short of our expectations, although the club house was beautiful and the course layout was interesting the course conditions were poor (dry unkept fairways, slow greens, dirt cart paths. No wildlife to see. We won’t be coming back at any rate.
(Played 1/2/21 but form won’t submit?)
Thank you for your feedback. At IRP, we are always striving to meet our customers’ expectations, and it sounds like this time we fell short. I want to assure you that your experience is not common, and I will do everything I can to make sure we do better in the future. If you have any other questions or you’d like to talk more in-depth, please reach out to me directly at info@indianriverpreservegolfclub.com. I really want to make things right, and I hope you’ll give us another chance.
Great place
Some open fairways, some tight, some blind shots...a little bit of everything here. Challenging layout. Well maintained. Highly recommend the restaurant for after-round food...very good stuff.
Disappointing
The course is interesting and somewhat difficult, but not in great shape. There is a significant amount of home construction all around the course - noise is an issue.
Based on the amount of play today it seems unlikely that there is a consistent effort being made towards social distancing and mask were not present by some staff members. A lack of available carts required random golfers to double up - first course in FL that I have seen this and was unexpected.
The starter gave some "regulars" preferential treatment with a unscheduled tee time and we had a twosome hitting into our foursome (two foursomes in front of us).
Hoping this was just a bad day at Indian River Preserve.
We are very sorry to hear you had a negative experience at the club today. Your feedback will be passed along to the team so we can address these issues.
Course needs watering
I like this course, but was very disappointed in the dry conditions. Needs serious watering. All the fairways are bone dry. Greens aren’t too bad, running true. Pace was slow because of holiday tourists.
Good Afternoon!
Thank you for taking the time to offer us some feedback on your experience at the course.
The course is a touch on the dry side due to the lack of rain we have had lately, but we are running the full irrigation cycles like we would during summertime. The multiple frosts we have had this winter has pushed our Bermudagrass into dormancy this winter, which turns it browns and can make conditions seem dry. Some warmer weather for a few days will wake the turf up and it will green up and start growing again. We just need mother nature to throw us some nice weather! Hope to see you again soon!
Course making a comeback
Great layout and amenities, looks like they’re getting the condition improvements underway. Ask for the $6 special: bucket of balls and lunch at the turn. Restaurant was great. Good pace of play, fun challenging course, if they can get the fairways in better shape it’ll be. 5 star. Will be back.
Thank you so much for your review! We are happy to see you enjoyed our course. We value your feedback, and hope to see you back in the future.
not even goats...
pretty sure the previous review was written by this courses owner...because Indian River Preserve formerly Walkabout ain’t nothin good to talk about...abominable conditions that even Obama would diss... no self respecting goat would even venture onto this course cause there ain’t no grass in the fairways other than crab to sustain ole billy.... greens very
“scratchy” slow with lotsa patches of crab grass as well....save your time and money and pass this
18 by....
