This used to be a good course years ago. The course has experienced neglect and the care to maintain the rating it used to have. The condition of the greens and fairways on the front 9 holes are in terrible condition. The others are in decent condition and rebounding back. Its shameful seeing courses in terrible condition when the patronage has been high since the covid years. The damage was not due to weather as there are other courses putting the care and maintenance into it and are looking good.

This course was in great condition. All green. No issues with T-Blocks, fairways and greens. All new white sand in bunkers. I have seen T-times increasing in cost with courses cutting back on maintenance and some not neglecting the required maintenance. It was nice to see this course in that great condition. Kudos to the owners and staff . It was a treat.

Greens were in great condition. Staff was working on cart paths. Sand traps which were previously covered in weeds were now maintained and added to the looks of the course as well as the difficulty. Good to see course maintenance being done. New company putting the course first. Looking forward to playing this course again as it has a challenging layout.

A golf course who addresses feedback. After speaking with the GM about conditions of the course and pace of play, not only did he listen but corrected conditions. Pace of play was not an issue. Past problem was due to third party booking system which created the overbooking. Conditions of T-blocks was due to some equipment issues which were corrected. Great to see this track back up to the high standards I am accustomed to seeing it at. Looking forward to playing this course again. A good track that is fun to play as well as provide the challenge to excite the golfer based on T-Blocks selected

Course was in good condition. The Greens and fairways were in great condition. After Florida experienced some cold nights and freezing temperatures , it was surprising to see the greens and the rest of course in good condition. The family which owns this GC has been working diligently to get and keep the GC up to these standards. Great job in providing a GC that is maintained and provides value to the golfer.
A couple of back T-blocks left to rejuvenate.

The course had a tournament before our 10:44 am T-Time. They were 1 hour behind. Unacceptable! No marshalls on course. Groups were rushed out by the starter who was having a difficult time getting groups out. There were 3 groups on holes at times. A round where we waited on every shot. The T-blocks were over grown ( 1 1/2 inch high ). Higher than the rough. You can see that the blocks were only moved 3 times as those spots were lower or dead to the ground. Bunkers were a mixture of dirt and sand. Very poor for a Florida course where sand is abundant.
Its obvious that this course has cut back on maintenance and marshall in an effort to save money. Wrong approach with no regards for the paying golfer.

Thank you for offering us some feedback. We had some issues with our reservations system that ended up allowing tee times to be booked in slots that were meant to be blocked for the tournament that day. Our staff made their best effort to get everyone on the course as quickly as possible when it was available but we certainly had some difficulties that day. That is absolutely our fault and is not indicative of the experience at the course. Please reach out to randrews@indianriverpreservegolfclub.com as we would like to invite you back on a different day for a better experience as well as explain the reason for the tee boxes being a little longer than normal.

All of the green including the practice greens were badly damaged. This was not due to the recent frost / cold weather but was evidently due to lack of maintenance. It was a waste of time and money playing this course. Arnold Palmer would be ashamed to have his name associated with this course. The near loss of the greens took away from the , challenge and layout of this Arnie Palmer designed GC.

Good course with good layout. Good Value for the money. There was some extra growth on the green. ( weeds or crabgrass clumps).This was not normal for this course. Hopefully this condition gets corrected.
Carts are not in the best shape.

This is the third time in a row where we have had very slow rounds.This course has 7 minute T-time intervals. It is not meant for new golfers. Being in a tourist area coupled with the association of the LPGA , a lot of people want to play this course. 7 min tee-time interval is suited to a course played by seasoned golfers. This was not what it used to be in the past. No marshals to keep the pace. ( cutbacks) The pace of play ( very slow ) takes away from the other high qualities of this course. Be prepared to wait on every shot !

Worth the drive to play there. Good challenge with elevation changes. A rare in Florida. Small greens ( depth ) and layout provides the challenge for the golfer who wants to test their game. This course is underrated in slope rating. Looking forward to going back.

A return course as everything about this course is good. Don't let the homes in this GC community fool you. Once you leave the ClubHouse, you have a very scenic and private layout. Don't get distracted from it as the course will challenge you . Wide fairways and large greens lends to making it a ladies friendly course. The restaurant and their daily specials gives a nice finishing touch .

Gary Player designed layout provides the challenge for the avid golfer. Family owned GC. still working at getting it up to its original design. Some traps still in need of the white sand and a few back Tee blocks need to be maintained. Fairways and greens were in great shape. Great job by the new owners in getting this GC playable especially when some courses are closing down. Good value for the money and great dog/beer special at the turn.

Pro shop attendant was organized with the check in receipt already printed. Friendly staff. Good layout with separation between holes giving you a private feeling. Greens were fast with very challenging pin locations. Coupled with the layout and the swirling winds it provided for a challenging round from the back tees.

Course was overtaken by crab grass. Bunkers had no sand and lots of stones. Tee blocks were infested with weeds and grabgrass. Needed levelling. No defined edges on the sandtraps. Greens had lots of sandhills and bare spots. Its obvious the owner has neglected the course for other real estate venture. Golf Now carrying this course would degrade Golf Now reputation.
