Nestled among a picturesque landscape of mature oaks, pristine wetland and water views, the stunning Joe Lee designed River Course and Pete Dye designed Harbor Course are two Vero Beach golf courses which present a welcoming challenge for even the most experienced golfer.

Grand Harbor’s River Course blends the beauty of lush, green fairways and stunning views of the Indian River Lagoon. Designed by Joe Lee, this Vero Beach golf course is the perfect blend of golf design and the native landscape. With its picturesque views and well-balanced layout, the course proves challenging with its natural hazards. Designed with striking water holes, the course requires thoughtful shot making from beginning to end, where every club can come into play.

Designed by Pete Dye, our Harbor Course is a traditional course with features that can be traced to the historic Scottish Links-style of tiered greens, undulating fairways and deep pot bunkers. With sweeping views of winding oaks and perfectly placed palm trees, this Vero Beach golf course is a true pleasure to golfers of any skill level. This course has an old-world “look” with scattered mounds, wooden walls, and giant sand bunkers – making the golf course both challenging and interesting.

The Harbor Course was recently renovated, and we completed a six-million-dollar renovation on the River Course with CR Lutzke three years ago. (https://crlutzke.com/)
