Fun Time on a Windy Day!

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.

Big gators

Down from Canada and of course had to get gator photos and was lucky enough to spot two big boys. Golf was fun and lots of water so will be buying more balls.Course was in great shape except for the greens but this is an issue with most Florida tracks and I will be back !

Greens

Terrible, maybe next season. Too many bumps from little clumps of grass / weeds that you can’t avoid on every single putt. Hope it gets better soon.

Nice clubhouse, layout and friendly staff!

Second visit to this course. I enjoy the layout and staff was very friendly and helpful. We were told ahead of time that the greens weren’t in the best shape due to a fungus and they weren’t lying. Greens were in tough shape but playable. Was offered a second round at a reduced rate for the inconvenience. It was nice that the staff was transparent about the issue and attempted to compensate players for the inconvenience. Many of the Sand traps lacked rakes and there wasn’t as beverage cart service during our round which would have been welcomed. Carts were in good condition. Would play again but may wait. Month or two for greens to come back.

Most of the green were in bad shape- it isthat time of the year! Grounds crew have been working hard, and the greens will come along soon. Warmer weather is also helping

$20 PP at best

The course is in pretty bad condition, possibly from a previouse hurricane or storm destruction...most likely neglected. There was some work being done.
The restaurant and staff, on the other hand, were amazing !

VERY DISHEARTENING

I invited a couple of buddies from up north to play . I've played here the last couple of years and liked the course . IT"S IN HORRIBLE CONDITION !! Fairways and tees burnt or no grass . Pitted greens . I'll not be back and it's unfortunate because I have another friend who just recently built a home there .

Needs time

Greens are horrible. They were fast because of lack of grass, and bumpy at the same time. Not sure what the plan is, maybe they are shutting down for reno when the snowbirds head back like Great Outdoors? It’s going to be a while. Friendly staff. Carts are pretty bad, run like old jaloppies. Will follow your reviews to see when the next time to play is.

Should've been a good one

The good ? The staff and the tee boxes. I also received free round pass for my son and I (the greens had disease and were almost all dead)

The BAD!! Slow play, took over 5 hours. I received free pass but only when I stopped in the pro shop to buy a snack at the turn, otherwise I probably wouldn't have received it. Fairways were pretty much non existent.

I'll play again just to use my free pass that expire May 1, hopefully their will be some recovery, I liked the layout
