The WORST Course I've ever played!

I'm still in shock how astoundingly awful this course is. There's simply nothing good I can say about it. The tee boxes have very little grass and very few are level. As for the fairways, you get excited when your ball actually lands on grass in the fairway. The 7th fairway has no grass just dirt. The greens resemble the course parking lot surface. They are literally black in spots and your ball sounds like it's being put on a driveway. I got it on a "Hot Deal" but I want that 4 hours of my life back.

Great staff, terrible course

The staff, pro shop, and bar were absolutely amazing. Was rather disappointed in the course due to there being complete holes which were 100% sand or just terrible greens all around. Would come back but wouldn’t expect to pay more that $25 for 18.

Bad shape

Tee boxes, ok. Greens, to many dead spots. Fairways, some were ok, but others looked like they didn't even try. Half the cart path was missing.
18Birdies App didn't match the course; apparently switched front side with back side. I was told another app would match, but didn't take the time to load it.

Eh

Paid 25 bucks. Greens were horrendous some of them hardly had any grass on them. Bunkers filled with weeds and fairways unrecognizable on some holes I mean what can you expect for 25 dollars at the end of the day. pace of play was great staff friendly. Course has great potential super fun layout sadly without a large sum of money it is impossible.

Those dang sprinklers

The fairways on most wholes are really great. The majority of the greens really need some work. The biggest issue about a tee time at 4 pm seems to be that the sprinklers go off a lot by the time that a golfer gets to the back nine. I couldn't even putt on holes 16 and 17 because of standing water on the greens. Perhaps a later watering time would be nice.

Bad Shape

This course used to be one of my favorites around Columbia. It has a great layout that can be a lot of fun to play. Unfortunately, it is really bad shape right now. The greens are in need of a lot of TLC. They are lighting fast with a lot of patchy spots. A lot of bad or no grass areas throughout the course. I don't see paying to play there again until it gets to be better shape.

way better than previous reviews portray

I was very hesitant to book this course after reading previous reviews but I'm glad I gave it a shot. Tee boxes were a little bit sandy and number 7 basically has no grass, however, everything else was fine. Also, number 7 is elevated and goes straight down hill so everyone complaining must not be able to carry the ball 165. Guess there are a lot of golf snobs on here. Greens have some rough spots but were in better condition then I expected, the pins were also placed to make sure they avoided any rough patches. So again, complaints coming from people who are no where near the pin. Overall I like the course and the lay out, I would 100% play here again. There are FAR FAR worse course out there.

Worst Condition Golf Course I've ever played

This was totally unexpected. The absolute worst conditioned golf course I have ever played. Bunkers unplayable, fairways sparse & sandy. One fairway was ALL sand. Many washed out areas. Greens are horrible. This whole experience was not worth any price. I will never play this course again. A real shame because it could be great with some maintenance and watering.

Save Your Money

One of the worst conditioned courses I have ever played. Greens were in horrible shape, and some holes there was nothing but sand. Gentlemen at the Pro Shop was short, and extremely rude. Not sure what his deal was. Save your money and go to another course. Absolutely dreadful. Will not play there again.

Do not waste your time or money

Ownership should be ashamed of the condition of this course. Worst course I have ever seen or played. No grass on many of the fairways; greens were unplayable. Our group stopped here on the way to a golf weekend, and wish we hadn’t. We were prepared for lesser conditions for the price, but it wasn’t even close. If you are not going to put money back into your facility, it’s time to close or sell.

Fast Greens a few holes require work

Overall enjoyed Indian River Golf Club , pro shop staff very friendly , great value for money. Green speed quick for April a few holes require from work like Par 5 6th, but overall a fantastic track with many challenging holes from the gold tee, fairway bunker positions excellent from off the tee. Would highly recommend

Still needs vast improvement...

I don’t think the greens have been thru aeration the past two years. Greens are rough and a couple of fairways look like they belong on the moon. Has great potential if a professional is hired to do the necessary improvements...
