Continues to improve

The IRP continues to make progress. The greens are almost entirely patched and are smooth and quick. The fairways continue to improve and for the most part are playable. The $8 lunch with range balls is a great deal. The lunch at the beautiful clubhouse is wonderful. The hamburger is so tasty and fresh veggies that top it are a treat.

Getting better everyday

I was pleasantly surprised by the improvement in conditions at IRP. The range ball lunch deal is great with another spectacular lunch. I had a delicious Cuban and Fries. The course bunkers were beautifully maintained with a lot of work going into them. The patching done on the greens continued to make the surface very putt able. The staff is always friendly and polite.. A great deal on golf now

CABBAGE PATCH

Let’s start off with the good. Staff was great. Clubhouse is very nice. Get the lunch deal for $8. You get a small basket of balls, sandwich, and chips(home made). They were delicious.

The bad. Driving range was like hitting from a cow pasture. Tee boxes were uneven and not maintained. Fairways were patchy, water logged and horrible to hit off of. AKA CABBAGE PATCH.

Even though it was only $32 through Golfnow, way over priced.

Improving but still rough

I played here a year and it was very bad. After yesterdays round , I see the improvements but still needs help. I think it's slowly heading in a positive direction just needs more TLC, staff help and luck weather wise. Restaurant has good food. Hope they can turn it around.

Not worth the price

I golf all over central Florida and I have never had an experience like this one. First of all, when we got there, we were informed that it was already prepaid. That was not supposed to be the case. It was supposed to be booked and then paid for in cash when I got there. No biggie. We took care of it. Then after the transaction, we were then told that it was cartpath only for the entire round, and that the 10th hole was absolutely closed. We should’ve been notified of that through the app and not after it was paid for. That’s shady. Once we got started. We ended up having to wait for two groups in front of us on the same hole at every single hole. That is not piece of play, and not very enjoyable. after sluffing through 18 holes, we get to the 18th green and the sprinklers are wide open. Very not cool. Overall very undesirable round. There’s no way to justify any of it. There are more courses in Central Florida that are softer than that and they have no problem with carts. We noticed a lawn tractor that was four times the weight of an actual cart going up and down doing their mowing. If that tractor could do it carts can do it. Very unsatisfied. I doubt I will ever return to this course and I will recommend to all my friends and my two groups that I play with to not come. There is no way to rectify this trip.

In bad shape

This is a good course normally but the greens are in awful shape and the fairways are the same. If you don’t get a deal to play it on golf now don’t bother it’s not worth $60 for the round.

Not Terrible

Some of the greens are trash, but overall for $30 it’s worth it. Some of the holes are pretty fun. Watch for alligators

Fun layout

The course just keeps going down. Most of the greens have issues. Fairways are 50/50 you will have grass to hit off of. It’s a fun layout.
