Indian River Preserve Golf Club

I know it’s not that anymore but I like that name :)

We had shied away from playing in February hearing reports of deathly slow greens and other poor conditions. We were pleasantly surprised. The greens were excellent I’d say in the top 10% of the 50 courses I’ve played in FLA this winter

They are obviously struggling with $ to maintain the course like so many other public access courses. Some tees were rough (not all) and the bunkers need some TLC. Other than that the fairways are skinny for grass without overseed but playable. The lay out is very strong. Lots of interesting holes. I had heard it was a hard course and it was. Lots of water There are some tee shots that are just plain “hit the shot or hit the road “!

Even though my score was high from the 6150 tees there were no shots I couldn’t hit but you had to hit it the first time and not as I did so often :)

As I said it is a challenge but I liked every hole. I wish I wasn’t heading north tonight or I would play it tomorrow. Maybe you should for me :)

Always enjoy Indian River. The staff id friendly and helpful. The course is in great shape with very good greens. Highly recommend!

Championship layout & great greens but needs work on fairways & tees. Overall a great course for the avid golfer.

The course is in need of some serious maintenance. Other than the greens the course is in sad shape. The entire fairway and rough areas are a collection of unrepaired divots and wash outs. The entire facility needs to be top dressed and leveled. The moguls are a great addition and should remain because they add character and require shot making to get around the course. I could see evidence of fertilizer, but it won't help the new growth spread out over the hard packed ground.

Until there has been a major effort to repair this course I can not recommend nor will I play this course again.

This golf course is one of the best kept secrets not too far from Orlando. My best friend and I have played there numerous times and have completed many rounds in well under 4 hours. Always in great condition with a welcoming staff. Laurie, in the pro shop, has a "whatever it takes" attitude towards making certain your day on the course is enjoyable and memorable. I highly recommend you try it. You definitely will return.

Went out as a single, played with a local threesome, they gave me my own cart. Course in decent shape, slowish greens, ok fairways and tees. Bunkers could have used some help. Plenty of hazards to avoid, but an interesting layout. Would definitely play again. Played early, only two groups ahead of us, less than four hours.

Played this course for the first time, It is in rough shape. Tee boxes can use work, fairways are bare dirt, need grass, greens are nice, just sanded, a little slow. Bunkers are pretty bad, some are just pits with weeds. Given the conditions I do't see the 4 star ratings??? what is it based on?

I think for the price you can do so much better.

I do like the course layout, some blind shots, forced carries, placement is key on this layout. I would play again if conditions improve (a lot) otherwise I plan to gold elsewhere.

Greens were quite good, but tee boxes needed work as they were very sparse in places. The back nine is a tricky layout where precission is required so choose yOUR tees carefully as there is lots water to contend with. A fun course to play.

Very nice course, one of the nicest that I played this winter. Staff was friendly and courteous. Fairways were very nice and the greens rolled nicely. Course has a nice layout, with fairway undulations and a couple of blind greens. Will be back!

Overall course in good shape. Only problem was pace of play. No player assistant out on course. This is needed.

Beautiful day for golf in Florida. 68, lite breeze with sun shine. Course played firm and fast tee to green. Greens were nice medum speed, slopy, hard to read, mostly consistent in condition. Very fair test. Fairways firm, lies mostly thin. Tee complexs we're really in poor condition from the white tees I played. Some we're rutted up and devoid of grass. That said, if I wanted plusher course conditions, I have to ante up at Suntree CC or pay $80 greens fees in Orlando. . All in all, a good value for $ spent. If you like it quiet, no intrusive housing, and a course cut through some virgin Fla brush land, which I do, then check it out. BTW, played in 2 some in 3 1/2 hours.

Thin fairways but playable. Greens rolled pretty well. Overall, it was an enjoyable golfing experience and I will return.

a very good courses , I look forward to playing it again.

Staff was excellent....great layout....fairways and greens. Awful.

Pace of play...awful 5 plus hours. Waited on every shot Everyone behind us was angry. Need a ranger

I get it. It’s all about money but I’ll probably not return. Way to frustrating
