Where else would you start Blecke. They are great people but when its time to put a tee in the ground and its all dead and you can't putt on the greens because they are dead and covered in sand their personalities don't matter. If you recommend this course in its current condition you don't know golf or you work there.

Sad sad sad

This place should be closed until the greens are playable. There is more sand on the greens than in the sad bunkers. There was no indication that they were under maintenance. The head of the agronomy department needs a few lessons on how to grow grass. This property management company should be forced to sell it's properties and lose it's PGA status. What a shame and a waste of my money. LaCita is in better shape and that's saying something.

Course condition

Golf course was in very poor condition. Was really surprised how it has gone down hill from the last time I played it. Not sure why it has deteriorated as it has but I hope they can get it back to a playable condition. Great layout.

Course needs work

I have played this course for many of years being a local to the area. I have seen it at its best and would have friends travel to play and be excited to have them play my local course. Now I have seen it at it worse and would not recommend anyone to play it for the price till they do something with at least the greens. I will be playing elsewhere till the conditions improve.

Great layout but greens hit by fungus

I've played here many times.

The Good:

Love the layout of this courses

Very friendly and helpful staff at the pro shop

Can't beat the lunch deal.

The back 9 in much better condition.

The bad:

The greens on the front 9 were hit hard by fungus. Putting is "poke and hope". They do look like they are repairing but it will probably be a couple of months.

The fairways on the front 9 are very thin. Typically they improve during the rainy season. Back 9 was much better.

Overall, I love the layout and the staff but until the greens come back it's hard to recommend.

We were forewarned (by the pro shop staff) that the course was in bad shape due to the weather during the winter months. We went ahead & played because it was a beautiful day & we had a really inexpensive deal. The course definitely had some shakey spots (especially the greens). Quite a challenging course with lots of water & sand. We were given 2 coupons to come back in the fall. Hopefully we can do that!

BLECKE you are the only one holding up this courses rating. How about you tell the people about the course conditions! We understand you love the girl in the proshop and nobody ever complains about the guys working the cartbarn. We know they are great but whats not great is the management company and maintenance department. Since you love the staff so much why don't you recommend they put up a tarp over the staging area so the guys don't die from heat stroke out there!

Don't play this course now

The greens are in very bad shape basically unputtable...wait until June maybe for recovery. Generally, the front nine is tough to play and the back nearly impossible to play unless you have tremendous ability to land in limited in bounds locations. Out of bounds is a jungle or water, bring lots of golf balls.

Indian River is always a fun round and challenging course. Once the greens get into shape it will rejoin the upper level, moderate priced golf course options.
