Once great course can be turned back around

This course used to be one of the best around. It is no longer in that condition. A number of the greens are in really bad condition. The fairway on the par 5 with the water tower on it is the worst fairway I’ve seen on any golf course ... by far. It is mostly just dirt from tee to around 250 yards out. There are a number of fairways with significant issues. The course has potential to get back to greatness as there is a new housing development being prepared for around the course that will hopefully jump start the influx of money the course obviously needs. I’ve tried to continue to play it to help but it’s doubtful I’ll play there again until some work is done to repair the many issues with the course.

Greens were patchy. Played early so pace of play did not come into affect. I wish they could get the greens under control.

Getting better

Of course this club has seen better days, but they are showing signs of improvement. This is very reassuring, since I love the layout. I will be back.

Worth the Price I Paid

I played Indian River this past Saturday and can say I was happy with my experience. I played solo for only $25. I read recent reviews about the course being subpar, so I went in with lower expectations and can say I was pleasantly surprise. The course played fine and I really did like the layout of certain holes. And for having around 7 inches of rain recently, the fairways were fine. Some of the greens were a little rough, but you get what you paid for. I am curious, though, as to how the course looks in the summer time. I got stuck behind a couple groups at the beginning, but they were nice and let me play through. All in all, it was money well spent ($25 a round is a bargain). I would come back and play again.

I played the course based on your review, and I don't like to write bad reviews but this course in the condition that it's in is not worth $25 . What fairways (sand dirt little to no grass. However the greens were puttable. I do not recommend anyone playing here to until summer, unless your're practicing...

Unfortunate

Played this course years ago, loved the layout! Decided to try it again, but disappointed... It's a shame it's in such bad shape. It has really been neglected, and I hope it improves in 2021. Fun course but needs major TLC.

Course need a lot maintenance

I have played this course before, I love the layout. Several of the greens are in horrible shape. Several of the fairways, especially the middle holes are in really bad shape. Unless there are improvements made, I don’t know if or when I will play there again. I played there in August of 2020, the course was not in good shape then and very little has changed.

Pretty cool layout, conditions not great

This course has always had not great conditions, but they have definitely worsened over the summer. It has a pretty fun layout though, so at $20 I’d say it’s a fair price for what you get.
