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,

Very Enjoiable

The greens were very good. Most fairways were good, a few were in need of some maintenance. The bunkers were pretty washed out from all the rain in the last 2 months. But I was very surprise at how dry the course was in general considering we had 2 inches of rain the day before. Only a few wet spots, but didn’t affect play much. This is a fun challenging layout. For the most part and considering the wet 2 months we’ve had the course is in decent shape and played nice. Just need to get some sand back in the bunkers. The restaurant is also nice. The pace was good. Played Sunday at 2:30 pm and had no delays.

Indian River Preserve

This course is always a little on the dry side and this is why I chose to play here following 2plus weeks of rain. The course was as expected and held up to all of the rains. My only problem was the greens have not recovered from being punched. When almost half of the game is putting, it decreases the enjoyment level putting on pegboards.

Walkabout

Greens were in great shape but rest of course needed work. Tee boxes were bare and a lot of the fairways were inconsistent,some had good grass and others were dirt. Fairways are cut too close when there is grass.

Great experience

I am so glad I finally made the time to try this course. The clubhouse and course are excellent. The staff was just phenomenally professional and friendly. The greens were impeccable and fairways were in good shape.

Fancy clubhouse, no frills course

Looks like all the profit goes to the clubhouse and restaurant and nothing into growing grass on the tee boxes or fairways. I must say that the putting greens are in great shape . Course was uneventful and fairly easy. I played this course when it first opened and loved it. It’s not the same.

Nice greens

Great day of golf.. Tricky wind shifts that day that made you club or down but very receptive greens.. Greens rolled pretty true and the fairways were thin in some areas but not bad

Beautiful and Fun

This was our first time coming to IRP but it will not be the last. The course is beautiful and fun to play. We felt like we had the place to ourselves most of the day. The staff was friendly and the fellow golfers were courteous. We will return.

Nice course no food..

This is a great course I'm only disappointed that I can't get a breakfast sandwich or something for breakfast a lot of courses in this town just leave you stranded when it comes to a breakfast..How hard could it be to put some bagels and creme cheese in the club house for a couple bucks...since these so called chefs can't cook eggs and bacon...

Walkabout/Indian River Preserve?

Beautiful course. Can be tough when the wind is blowing. Fairways and greens are immaculate. Tee boxes are fair. Staff are friendly. Restaurant/bar has great food. I would definitely golf here again.

Challenging

Chose course from golfnow for price $17 ea. for 18 for 3 golfers 12:20pm. Normal pricing too high to golf regularly.

Only noticeable issue is white tees are very beat up and hard to find level area. Cup placements were very difficult. Most on slopes.

Shot placement important.

Great layout

I hadn’t been there since they changed names and built the clubhouse. The course is a lot of fun and offers some challenging holes. It was in good shape with firm and smooth rolling greens. The staff was very friendly and the new clubhouse seemed very nice.
