Vero Beach Country Club
Vero Beach, Indian River County
Course Overview
Vero Beach Country Club features a Donald Ross-designed course playing 6,745 yards with a rating of 71.9 and slope of 129. A Donald Ross design is always special — the man who designed Pinehurst No. 2 brought his classic principles to Vero Beach with strategic green complexes, subtle bunkering, and a layout that rewards precision and course management. The moderate slope makes this an enjoyable private-club experience for golfers of all skill levels.
Fairway Conditions
A classic Donald Ross layout maintained to private-club standards. Bermuda fairways with traditional Ross shaping and well-bunkered greens. The course has the timeless quality that comes with a historic design — it plays the way great golf courses should, with emphasis on shot placement and green reading rather than sheer distance.
Why I Love This Course
â Alex Haigh
"Vero Beach Country Club is where I go to remind myself why I love golf. Donald Ross designed this course with the kind of subtlety and intelligence that rewards thoughtful play. The greens are the star — they're Ross greens, which means they've got contours and breaks that will test your putting and your patience. At 6,745 yards with a 129 slope, it won't destroy your scorecard, but it will make you think. For me, that's the perfect combination."
