Indian River Preserve Golf Club

I have been playing this course since it has opened and I have never seen it in this poor of shape. The fairways and greens are dead. It's almost as if they sprayed something on the course to kill the grass. I'm not sure where the people are playing that are reviewing this course saying it's in good shape. It's a great layout, but conditions are awful. I don't think I will be back unless they drop the rates to the $15 range. It's that bad. If you ever played here in the last few years, don't go now or you will be very disappointed. Hopefully whatever is going on here will be fixed because it's an amazing course when it's playable.

Great staff everywhere. Course was in nice condition except for the greens. They rolled bumpy and were very slow. Layout was interesting, play with a local or gps.

I have always like playing this course. The greens were brown, because of the winter.

But the fairways were great and in good shape.

Course was in good shape. Some wet areas, must have had heavy rain the night before but not cart path only. Greens were in good shape but a tad slow, maybe couldn't be cut because of the recent rain(?). Challenging layout, lots of water, some holes have a narrow landing area but all in all definitely worth the 50 minute drive. I wish it was closer.

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.

Greens were decent but the layout and condition of the rest of the course needed an update and work.

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

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. Recommend it to anyone who likes a little challenge.

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.

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.

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.

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

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
