Vero Beach Country Club was founded in 1924 and is a premier location to gather some of the finest junior golfers in Florida. Over the last twenty years, Vero Beach Country Club has made some significant golf course enhancements including becoming one of the first clubs in the United States to be completely converted to salt-tolerant Paspalum grass, adding fairway and green contouring to increase variety and improve drainage. Each hole has its own distinct character and can be challenged with an ever-changing range of risk/reward strategies involving consideration of wind, doglegs, strategically placed bunkers, oak and palm trees, lakes and perimeter canals. The result is a course of unusual variety that avoids the hole-by-hole similarity of many Florida courses.
