Good Test

Course has some excellent golf holes. Back nine tougher than front. Course condition not great, but playable. Greens a little slow, but not a big deal....just have to hit it a little harder! Very good test of golf and good value. It is worth playing.

This was a nice place to play and would recommend to a friend. The first few tee boxes needed cut but other than that it was great.

First Time Playing

Excellent Golf Course - very pleasant staff

Enjoyed playing the golf course - layout. Appears the course is in financial distress - Maintainence of tee boxes was less than acceptable. However, greens were nice & putted true. Ok value - very enjoyable round!

Good day for golf

Staff was great. Course was in good condition, grass is starting to grow in the fairways, so it’s not all tight lies like some courses. Must use course management on numerous holes and not be out of position. Fair and fun course to play.

Slow pace of play but good course

The greens were in great shape - best around. Lovely nature views and nice clubhouse. The negative part was that we waited on every hole and unfortunately this has happened every time we have played there.

Needs some TLC

Greens were slow and bumpy, hadn’t been mowed and it was sat 10am. Played there 2 years ago and was in way better shape.

Good Course....bar in restaurant dropped the ball

Overall a good experience. Course was challenging but fair...in good shape. Check in staff very friendly but got stuck in restaurant. Hot dog was $7.50 and bartender very unfriendly. We waited for table service for 8-10 min and finally asked bartender if there was anyone to take our order.....he said he'd get someone...place was empty.....young ladies in uniform around bu no one waited on us...so we were just getting ready to leave when young friendly waitress to our order. Bartender was oblivious to what was going on and very unfriendly.

2 different 9s

The staff does an incredible job moving the groups along regardless of how you booked your tee time.. Other courses , especially if you book thru Golfnow, make you feel not very welcomed but not here.. Thanks.. Like my review title - the front 9 is straight forward and I think pretty easy but the back 9 can really come up and bite you.. It is a fun course

Pace of play ruined round

After not playing course for a few years, I played here two weeks ago and enjoyed conditions even though the pace (4 hours) was too long. I decided to play course again because its very challenging and I enjoy layout. When I checked in at pro shop, it was evident that there was a scramble about to begin. I asked about it and was told that it wouldn't impact my round as they were starting on hole #6. That was not true. I warmed up for 30 mins. and by the time I reached the first fairway, a foursome was just walking off the green. I waited long periods of time from hole #2 tee box until hole # 14 when I called it quits. 3 hours and 40 mins. to play 13 holes is ridiculous, especially for a scramble where they are playing best ball format. It would have been a five hour round had I stuck it out! Don't know when I will play here again...

I'll Be Back

Had never played IRP before and I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoy a course where every hole seems different and has its own set of challenges. This course fit that requirement wonderfully. Fairways and greens were in excellent condition for late January. I will definitely be back.

Love the course and fantastic restaurant & staff

I booked a foursome. 2nd time playing this year. This is my favourite course to play in the Titusville area. Great condition challenging greens were in very good condition. A little slower than the 1st time I played but in great shape. I like fast greens. All of our foursome really liked the course. My wife and I dined a few days later in the evening. Wonderful meal, presentation and staff. Definitely will be booking again. Thanks to the restaurant staff & those hard workers that maintain the course.

slow round

course was busy, lots of 2 & 3's, enjoy playing this course, even though it could use a bit of maintenance on the tees . The restaurant at the course is one of the primary reasons we choose to play there, excellent food and great value.

Club house staff couldn't have been more welcoming or friendly.
