Not bad at all

With a lack of decent rain, fairways are thin in most courses in March. IRP is no different, but spotty places are not the norm. Almost all greens are without sandy spots, although there are a few. Had to go "cold turkey" without the driving range open due to their ball picker being broke. But still a good time. Pro shop help is the best.

Always a Great Day at Indian River

From Laurie in the Pro Shop to Fritz at the cart barn, the staff goes out of their way to make our day at the course enjoyable.

Problems on the greens.

Love this layout of this course. The greens were sanded in what appeared to be repair patches. Some places extensive which caused the need to move the ball to get a fair roll. Which rolled fast. The fairways had green grass and some parts actually needed to be cut.

Terrible

This course was in horrible condition. Greens were completely dead, fairways were dead, the bunkers were in poor condition. The pace of play was 5 hours for 18 holes. We spent majority of our time waiting. One of the worst golf experiences I’ve ever had.

Hidden Gem!

Great Course for the price!

A lot of water but great layout

10th Tee can use more signs for a first timer but still a great course. Might be my new regular spot!

Slow play and terrible greens

Starter does not start according to tee times. No ranger to keep up pace of play either. Stuck behind two foursomes that were easily 8 strokes in before even getting close to the green. No course etiquette, not playing ready golf. I was paired with two old folks from up north that were just as bad. Pointless to even try and play a decent fun round when you have to wait 20 mins at the tee box and then watching the people you're paired with scavenge for balls with their 15' ball retrievers. Really sick and tired of the slow paced northerners wrecking everybodies round behind them. Plus the greens are garbage and have been for a long time. Driving range is cabbage as well. Very disappointed with this course.

Worth it

Love the layout of this course. The practice facility is helpful. Like many other courses currently grass is greening. Greens were honest and not too fast. Got great deal for $3 extra if you buy practice balls gets you lunch / dinner off a select menu. Everyone very friendly and the facility is classy.

Gr8sct

Let's start with the fairways-absolutely TERRIBLE! Front nine was so bad that I thought i'd jarred my fillings loose. Not to mention the only grass, if you want to call it were bits of sprigs of some kind of growth through out. The back nine was marginally better but not much. Now the greens - grass was practically non-existent and what was there was a poor excuse to call them "greens". As far as the cartpaths(??) they also were rough and bumpy like they were shelled by mortars. We've been coming here for 9 years now and while the course I would say was average it has digressed to sadly say pathetic.$$ and a lot of hard work is needed to bring this place, which used to be a reasonable and fun place to play, back to playing condition. Until then won't be returning. Don't waste your money.

nice layout . course conditions poor.

I'm sure this was a beautiful course at one time.

greens and fairways in disrepair.

clubhouse and restaurant are very nice, it's a shame the golf isn't at the same standard.

just needs some $$ and tkc to bring it back.

Great layout

Love the layout. Course has been in a lot better shape. Fairways were in tough shape. Greens were okay except for a few bad spots. Could have been cut a bit lower. Pace of play was great. Even looking for a few wayward shots, we finished in four hours.
