The Mims, Fla., property will now be known as Indian River Preserve Golf Club, offering a complete greens restoration and a new 20,000-sq. ft. clubhouse that includes a banquet hall, restaurant, and grand ballroom.
Walkabout Golf Club in Mims, Fla., has changed its name to Indian River Preserve Golf Club following significant enhancements to its golf course and construction of a new clubhouse.
The new name aligns with the natural habitat surrounding the nearby 121-mile long Indian River. Part of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, golfers and community residents enjoy the brackish lagoon’s serene lakes, native vegetation and abundant wildlife. The club’s new logo features a stately oak tree common to the area and course.
A complete greens restoration led by Superintendent Juan Perez has produced smooth putting surfaces while re-shaping and adding more sand to several bunkers. The course opened in 2003 and was designed by Perry Dye and LPGA Champion Jan Stephenson.
Indian River Preserve’s new 20,000-sq. ft. clubhouse includes Andrei’s restaurant, which features a menu inspired by culinary superstar Chef Daro Chan. Ideal for weddings and other catered events, the banquet hall presents a grand ballroom, 400-sq. ft. dance floor and seating for nearly 300 guests.
“Indian River Preserve Golf Club is becoming the regional hub of social activity,” said Dale Lyon, Senior Vice President of Olen Properties, owner of Indian Preserve Golf Club. “With a stunning clubhouse, unforgettable golf course and outgoing staff, we are the ideal venue for all things golf, dining and entertainment.”
“Even better course conditions and new amenities have guests booking tee times in droves,” said General Manager Bill Shiles. “For memorable rounds of golf, elegant weddings and everything in between, you can’t beat our location, service and breathtaking scenery.”
The Australian-inspired golf course features 18 holes and 7,146 yards on a par-72 layout that blends into the natural topography, ushering golfers over gentle mounds, through native vegetation and around several lakes and streams.
