Great staff, decent front, good back, conditions need improvement.
Wonderful staff, I could not have asked for more from them.
Front nine is ok, nothing special, but the back nine is a real challenge. Keep it in the fairway or pay the penalty, literally.
I wish I could say that the grass and bunkers were in good shape, but I cannot. I’d love to play the course again when it is in better shape.
Preserve
Greens were decent but the layout and condition of the rest of the course needed an update and work.
Just as good and strong as I remembered
Keep it in play and you can score, strong par 3s and par 5s, greens were a little slow. Enjoyed the course and one of the friendliest staffs in central florida
Indian River Preserve (Walkabout) is a challenge
IRP always plays tough, but I love the challenge. If you keep it in play you score if you spray it you are gonna get penalized and that is how a true golf course should play. The course from the blue tees is a bear when the wind is blowing. The fairways and greens are in decent shape. The bunkers need some work. Only negative is that the greens are inconsistent as to speed and are a little bumpy. Will (pro) and staff are always friendly and welcoming.
The restaurant is great as is the selection of beers and great food. Overall it is a great golf experience. .Will be back.
Well Done
Well done. Recommend it to anyone who likes a little challenge.
Hidden treasure but....
I’ve been going to Indian River (Walkabout) for years. Love the course layout. Only recommendation right now is....fix the bunkers. They are in horrible shape. Greens and fairways were in great shape.
Love This Place, But I Should Have Bought More Golf Balls!
This golf course is fantastic. I was told in the golf shop that they had just lowered the height on the mowers for the greens and it certainly showed. Even with some morning showers, they were LIGHTNING quick and rolled very smoothly. There were a couple of weeds around the course, but nothing that impacted play at all. They appeared to be dying so maybe they were sprayed recently. The scenery is absolutely beautiful and this place lives up to its name. It definitely felt like I was on a preserve. The course is very challenging as there is a lot of water in play but there are plenty of tee box choices available to keep it fair. We had a great day even though it was a bit breezy. The restaurant after the round was also great. I had a delicious cheeseburger and an ice cold beer! Our server was a very nice young lady and we almost had the place to ourselves since the weather wasn't forecasted to be too great.
Greens
On the question above "Would you recommend this course to friend?" I would but with a caveat about the greens. They were shaggy and very bumpy. If they rolled then and cut them they would have been great. Who knows maybe we just caught them in between their mowing schedule. Other than that everything on the course was beautiful.
Needs Help
Course was in terrible condition greens recently punched and not sanded, tee boxes are dead or weeds, can’t see a par 3 from the tee box due to lack of weed control. Overall course is in sad shape
don't bother
This course is in a subdivision that has for years not been built...really rough, harsh areas immediately beside holes.
They recently aeriated the greens and did not put enough sand on to fill the holes so it is impossible to putt and will be dimpled even after the grass grows over the aeration holes.
I played this course years ago and did not like it and still don't. Lots of water to hit over, no restrooms on course, generally a waste of time
This course is a really fun layout, challenging and if you are looking for something different in the brevard area this is a good spot. The course is in really good condition, It isn’t perfect so you may have to “roll it over” in the fairway but it really is a nice spot. The greens are elevated on most, some blind tee shots, and has a nice first and second cut. Definitely a shot makers course. Club house is nice and would be a nice place to host an event. Also if you have a tie to settle there is a little 19 hole as you make your way back to the club house! Keep up the great work guys, I’ll Be coming back
Keep it between the navigational beacons
We enjoyed our day of golf here. It was a challenging course. My only complaint would be no restroom facilities anywhere on the course.
A beautiful course set within a natural Florida environment
The views on this course are beautiful. It is exactly what I, personally, think a great Florida course should be. Nestled within an environmental area that is full of wildlife, greenery, and lots of water, this course has some easy holes and some holes that will challenge even the steeliest of nerves with blind shots. Despite my horrible play, I thoroughly enjoyed being here. The tee boxes were in great shape, the fairways were very well maintained, and the greens have been aerated fairly recently but they still rolled true. This was my first time here and I will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend!
Peaceful course
The front 9 is pretty straightforward the back 9 not so much.. the staff is awesome.. the greens roll nicely though.. Great track
Golf with my family
Golfer with my brother and my 2 sons. We had an enjoyable round. Rough was a little high but greens and fairways were nice condition. Good value , $30 per person include golf, cart and lunch. We will come play again.
Great Golf
The links were great, the food was great; however, the cart paths need work and the lack of restrooms makes it tough on women,
