Disappointed
There was constant construction and noise. TheY had just punched the greens and they were terrible. They had no power in the club house and couldn’t serve us lunch despite another table (probably developers or board members) were eating and having cocktails. I’m never going back.
Pleasant Round
Course condition, assigned playing partners and pace were all very good until the back nine. Starting on hole 12 the pace suddenly stoppeed. I went up to the foursome in front of asked if they knew what backed us up since I could see two twosomes on the hole in front of them. I was tol a fivesome was in front of the twosomes and had just cleared the hole . The twosome I was originally playing with deserted after the 14th and the single who caught up to us on the 14th tee deserted after the 15th. I finished the 18 but felt a pleasant round had an anoying ending.
Thank you for leaving us a nice review. We're glad to hear you enjoyed most of your round. I apologize that play may have slowed down for the last few holes. We do not allow 5-somes on the course so if two groups did join in front of you, feel free to let us know in the golf shop in the future so we can make sure to split them up and keep the pace moving.
Our team is working very hard right now to keep the course in good shape and we look forward to your next visit!
I’ve played this course a number of times in past years and always recommend it. But have not played in the past 2 years and was disappointed with what has happened to its condition. Very nice staff but the course needs help !!
Thank you for your honest review and feedback. Our grounds crew is working very hard to improve the golf course this spring. Growing season is right around the corner and we expect conditions to improve rapidly. The end of the winter season after all of the play is always the most difficult time of the year for courses that do not overseed wall to wall.
We are also doing lots of other great improvements including widening some tees, dredging and cleaning out the ponds, and completing our Audubon certification!
We hope that you will give us another chance in a couple months and see the positive impacts all of the hard work has had as temperatures reach the point where the course starts growing again!
Great course
One of the best we play, lots of fun a Challenge to play. Add the lunch to it and the experience is top notch.
Thank you for your great review! Our team at IRP works very hard to provide a great experience to each of our guests! We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Conditions
I was not impressed with the course conditions. Fairways and tee boxes were beat up.
Thank you for leaving us a review and for your honest feedback. The end of the winter season right before the growing season starts is always the most difficult time of year for us as we have been busy all season and the grass hasn't quite kicked into gear yet.
However, our crew has been working very hard to make sure the course is in prime condition to take off once temperatures climb. We expect the course to be in great shape in short order and hope you will come back and see all of the improvements we are making!
Conditions
I wasn’t impressed with the course conditions. Fairways & tee boxes were beat up.
Fun, but challenging.
Love this layout. Challenging and fair. Wind was 14-20 knots, so today was extra hard. Greens look bad and are very thin, but they were fast and putted well.
Summer will see this course get better for sure. Food service was excellent.
Worth the drive. I have played here many times.
Thank you for your great review! You are correct in identifying the greens and fairways being a little thin as we near the end of the busy winter season. However, the crew has been working extremely hard to have everything in place for some major growth to take off when temperatures arrive. We're also dredging the lakes to make sure they are cleaned up and beautiful!
We look forward to seeing you for your next round!
Wow!!
Probably the toughest course I’ve played in a decade! The wind was 20mph , but the fairways were generous! The greens were very receptive, but probably the most difficult greens I’ve ever read!!! This course made me realize how difficult the pros have and how talented they are! The fairways could use a little thicker grass, but it is February...may be thicker in the spring/summer! I will try my luck again!!
Thank you for a great review and we're glad you enjoyed your round! The winds definitely make the track play a lot more difficult!
We anticipate the fairways to grow in thick as soon as temperatures reach the growing point. We have put a lot of fertilizer in the ground so as soon as spring hits everything will take off and grow fast!
We look forward to seeing you out for your next round soon!

Friendly staff gets you going. Front nine
sets you up for the more difficult back, although the 9th is no slouch. Conditions
are rough in spots including tee boxes. It
is winter and it appears they are working to improve so they get a pass.
Interesting and challenging layout with numerous forced carries and water ready
to gobble errant shots.Shotmakers course.
Good value and interesting....
Thank you for your kind words and review. The team is working very hard to continue to improve course conditions and we expect as soon as we get a little warmer weather we will see a lot of growth. We have been fertilizing and working diligently to have everything ready for growing season this spring!
Thank you for your review! We are looking into options for some ball washers either on the golf carts or on the course. Thanks again for your feedback!
Tough track and nice design
Very friendly and helpful staff
Good value could be higher if not for conditions. A little rough in spots but they seem to be working on it. A shame they will surround the course with homes...
Thank you for your honest feedback and review! The crew is working very hard to have the course ready for growing season this spring. We expect that as soon as we get some warmer temperatures we will see a lot of growth. We have put a lot of work into making sure the nutrients and fertilizers are in the soil in anticipation of warmer temperatures.
Worth the dirve
its a little off the beaten path but worth it. I had not seen teh course as Walkabout but know they like so many others had financing issues. The course is coming around to those that know the old conditions. Greens are good, fairways, tees, bunkers will take some time.
This is a very challenging course if you want to shoot a good number. That said , most although not all , have bail out areas for those more timid or less aggressive or talented.
I will be going back soon and suggest you give it a try.
Thank you for coming to see us and for leaving us a nice review! The team is working hard to continue to improve the golf course every day! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Difficult course.
Lot’s of water in play, especially back nine. Greens decent, really fast down grain and downhill. Pin setter must have had a fight w wife day we played. 4-6 holes in very difficult, some unfair positions. Always a test to play again.
Thank you for your nice review. We are glad you enjoyed your experience and hppe to see you again soon!
Thank you for a nice review and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
Nice but
Course is a nice layout. It does need some work and it appears they are trying. Greens seemed to be painted green.
Thank you for the review! The team is definitely working hard to try and improve the golf course. Every growing season we are getting better. The color you saw on the greens is indeed a dye, however it is used when we spray fertilizer and herbicides on the golf course so that the crew can see the areas they have already sprayed in order to get the right amount of chemical down.
Thank you for a great review! We appreciate you coming to visit us and look forward to seeing you again soon!
Another great day of golf!
Always enjoy playing at Indian River Preserve. Course in good shape.
Good Value Good Layout. Conditions Improving
This is another course struggling for money maintenance but since I played 10 months ago conditions have dramatically improved. The greens are good pace is medium
The layout has some fine holes a couple of duds but very enjoyable but difficult. Hey, if it was easy everyone would play it !
Worth the trip and prices are CHEAP!
Thank you for your review! We appreciate you taking the time to offer us some feedback.
Our team is working very hard to continue to improve the golf course conditions and we are excited about the improvements we are making and will make as we get back into growing season this spring!

I apologize about your experience at the golf course today. We do indeed have a lot going on at the club, but it is all in an effort to improve the golf course conditions. The ponds are being dredged in order to remove excess vegetation within the water to keep them clean, healthy, and beautiful all year long. The greens were not aerified today, as it is not quite the season for that, although we did top dress them this morning. While we realize that is not the most favorable playing condition, we have to do it periodically to keep the greens healthy and smooth. As for the power outage, the construction crews at the property next door were digging and accidentally hit a power line off of our property just after noon. I apologize that we could not serve your group lunch. Without power, our hood system in the kitchen does not function and we cannot prepare food any longer in accordance with state health code rules. However, some parties may have already had their lunch served right before you came through which may have seemed like we were still serving.
We certainly realize that this was a very busy day on the course and the power outage was a very unlucky and inconvenient event. We'd like to host you back out on a normal day for a round of golf sometime. Please send an email to randrews@indianriverpreservegolfclub.com and we will be happy to bring you out on a "normal" day where we aren't doing so much work to the course.
