Well maintained course

First time playing this course and I really enjoyed it. Course was well maintained with clear signs of more work being done. The gentleman in the Pro Shop was very friendly. Pace was a bit slow, but it was a beautiful Saturday afternoon so it was understandable. Speed up the greens a bit and this place will be amazing!

Collar of every green is horrible

Love the layout at Harmony, good variety of holes/distances. Not sure if it’s Goosegrass or an issue from overseeding, but the collar of every single green is in horrible shape. Because it makes the grass uneven; putting through it makes for an unreliable ball roll. Hopefully the course will fix this issue soon.

Course is in great condition

Harmony is in great condition right now. I had the first tee time as a single so pace was fantastic. I’ve always enjoyed the layout here as there is a good variety. Fairways are full and nearly every green is fast, rolls true, and is well maintained. There were 2 or 3 that had blemishes, but they were near the edges of the green.

I’m not sure why, the course is not listed in GHIN. So you have to enter everything manually if you want to enter a score. Hopefully Harmony will see the value to it’s customers and their business.

Seeing improvement on the course

I’ve played here several times, but not in over 6 months. It’s clear that work is being done on the course to improve conditions. There are a lot of temporary cart paths and a lot of areas roped off.

The value is good and overall things were good. I’d recommend it to others.

Course being worked on and needs it

I rarely make a post this negative, but as I read reviews before playing courses I always hope I’m reading an accurate review. I’ll start by saying it has been about a year since I’ve been to Rio Pinar and I can see that work is being done on the course as well as inside the building and I foresee the course getting much better.

What I experienced was most of the course in poor shape; tee boxes with very little grass, fairways with multiple bare spots, and several greens with large sand areas in/on them.

I might come back in a few months to see if things have improved, but for now I cannot recommend the course.

Time to reduce the price or improve the product

Played on a Saturday afternoon, teeing off about 2:45. Pro Shop quoted $79 plus tax, paid $66 through GN. Love the layout. Most of the course was in good shape. Staff was very friendly.

I just think late in the afternoon that’s a lot to pay for a course with carts in terrible condition, bunkers with no rakes, and 4-6 holes with some type of blemish; like an all dirt tee box, or bare/bad spot on greens.

I gave the course a good rating because it is a good course, just overpriced for what you get in return.

Ready for price reduction

Harmony has made some noticeable changes since the last time I played it a few months ago. Most notable was a VERY regimented way of operating. Not sure what position the gentleman holds who was outside overseeing things, but he was definitely directing the show.

We all started on the back because of some event that was planned later in the day. I believe in promptness, but this was a bit over the top.

They also mentioned they had a busy day of nearly 100 golfers. Lower the price and many more will come. Harmony has a great layout and is in good shape, but not worth over $100.

Good value - improving conditions

While most courses are very overpriced right now, Indian River Preserve is fairly priced for the current conditions. It’s talking with other players, the conditions are improving. I would the course because of it’s value.

Course continues to improve

Played on a Saturday afternoon and still had a good pace of play.. The owner continues to improve the course and is currently building a new tee box on #18. I’ll definitely be back to play again.

Course needs work

Don’t know if this course was affected by Hurricane Ian, but it’s not in good shape. Many of the tee boxes were uneven dirt. Many of the greens were in bad shape as well. Pro shop worker delivered less than friendly greeting. Can’t recommend course until a lot of things improve.

With golf prices going out of control, this course has a great price for what you get. The course is in very good shape with several holes requiring well placed shots. Greens are well maintained and in nice shape.

Nothing special about Viera East

I’ve played Viera East once or twice a year for the past 5 or so years and I’d say it’s probably in the worst condition I’ve ever seen it.

The round started with a less than enthusiastic worker in the temporary Pro Shop - him and a computer only. Next came his instructions, start on hole #10, when you make the turn after 18; hole #1 is closed for repair so look for a path and just head to hole #2.

The layout is fun - pretty good variety. The greens are a mess with tons of weeds that affect putting. Hopefully they’ll correct that soon. I cannot recommend the course at this time.

Really nice course

The course was in really good shape. Greens were full and ran true. Lots of challenging holes; some had dog-legs, plenty had water, and others had traps in tough locations. Staff members were very friendly; even let us start early to beat an incoming storm even though we had purchased a hot deal and were an hour early. Thank you for a great time on the course!

Course keeps getting better

Wedgefield has been a course on the rise, improving every time I've played it over the past 6-8 months. The owner clearly cares about the course and the players.. I played on Saturday morning and the pace was awesome. Although there was 1 temporary green and 3 others that were slow due to long/new grass; the reason why was explained to us. I highly recommend this course and will play again soon!

Improvements being made

First time here and the signs are that there is work being done on the course. The greens were very nice and the fairways were full - especially for this time of year.

Pace was pretty slow through the first 5 holes; hour and a half,. The next par 5 we could see the slow group was 2 groups in front of us. We decided to take a chance and skip 2 holes and although we hated to do it, it made a huge difference! Turned out there were 2 threesomes that kept joining up - playing as a six-some will definitely slow down play.

Tough to blame the course, but nobody has a ranger/marshal anymore. It was a fun course that I plan to go back to.

Fun - somewhat narrow course

First time playing this course and I enjoyed it. It was pretty narrow so you had to hit the ball straight; especially off the tee. Many of the holes weren’t very long, but your placement was important!

It was clear that improvements were being made; which of coarse is a good thing.

Cart barn staff weren’t very friendly. As a matter of fact 2 employees told us we could not take the cart into the parking lot. We counted 4 in the parking lot on the way to our car. As we were carrying our clubs to where the carts were parked another golfer was given a cart and proceeded to drive it right past us; into the lot and right to the car parked next to ours? Guess we didn’t know the secret password.

Friendly staff

Booked an early morning round that included lunch. Each staff member I came in contact with was very friendly. Fairways are full and greens are fast on the front 9.

The pace of play was quick as we finished the front in about an hour and 40 minutes as a foursome. Unfortunately 6 of the 9 holes on the back were cart path only. This caused slower play, however, that certainly isn’t the fault of the course. It was very wet on holes 12-17.

The coupon provided gave about 6-7 choices for lunch. I would recommend this course despite the wet conditions.

Nothing Special

The round started with a less than warm welcome in the pro shop.. Hopefully the person was just having a bad day and doesn’t treat all customers like they are bothering him. The course layout was fun, greens were in good shape, fairways were cut pretty short, and bunkers were in horrible shape.

Pace of play was good until we caught the group of 6 playing together. Although they looked back and saw us several times they did not let our twosome play through. After 3 painfully slow holes we skipped 2 holes to get in front of them.

Really nice course

Played in the morning and the course was in great shape! Tee boxes and fairways were full and the greens rolled very true. The maintenance team does a fantastic job of keeping both of their courses ready for play despite about 200 rounds per day each. I highly recommend both Sandridge courses; the Dunes and the Lakes.

Fantastic public course

I live Near Patrick Space Force Base and play quite a few public courses in my area, north to Daytona Beach, west to Lakeland and south to Vero Beach. Sandridge has 36 holes and without a doubt is the BEST CONDITION of any public course I play! The layout of both courses is great and the greens are consistent/roll true.throughout. The pace was a little slow but not bad - well worth it for the condition of the courses. I highly recommend either/both courses - easily worth a 30-45 minute drive to get there.
