Rating 72.2

Bordering the Indian River, Viera East Golf Club sprawls across a landscape of sparkling blue lakes and native marshland that is accented with towering pines and cypress trees. The well known layout is considered one of the best and most affordable public golf courses in Florida. The course features large, undulating greens that are carefully protected by numerous bunkers and risk-reward opportunities that will challenge even the lowest handicappers. Although the course offers a fairly formidable test, beginners will be comforted by the wide fairways that have ample bailout room. Viera East Golf Club's eighth and ninth holes are a memorable duo, beginning with a short par 4 that is the best birdie opportunity on the course. The ninth is another par 4 with water all along the left and trees along the right. Both holes are made even more challenging with strategic bunkering along the greensides.

BAD CONDITIONS

Greens are dying on the front side. We were started on the back which wasn’t bad but, the front side greens were extremely bad. Viera east is still charging full price for the the course as well. I asked the man inside the clubhouse if the greens were in the same condition as the practice green and I was told no but, they are. Will not play this course again till they fix these issues

Yikes

When one pays over 90, you should have some expectations to experience better than average conditions. I've never seen the putting surface starting at practice area to be that bad. The course didn't fair much better with every putt bouncing across the greens and don't get me started on sand trap conditions. Yikes.

Too expensive for bad conditions

It’s a shame that courses can still charge the full amount when course conditions aren’t good. The greens are beat up from the winter while other courses seem to be doing okay. The number of times I’ve been to Viera East a paid full price for aerated or sanded greens is very disappointing. Plus there was a slow group in front of us with nobody in front of them. Multiple times the ranger drove by and didn’t make any effort to change the situation.

3hr round!

Booked a hot deal cost me $50. The starter let me go 20 minutes prior of my tee time. Staff is super friendly. Some fairways and tee boxes need some love.

Great pace I was done within 3hrs!

Viera East Review

The course was in ok shape. We were charged $130 to play 9 holes for 2 golfers. Seems a little pricey.

Course conditions

I’ve been playing Viera East for years and this might be the worse I’ve seen it. Dirt patches in most of the greens as well as the tee boxes. Charging $93 is robbery.

Going to need help for the greens

The putting green gave us an idea of how the greens on the course were. The greens were damaged due the frost. Some were better than others, but it detracted from the whole course. It’ll be awhile before we come back and that’s a shame because we do like the course.

Greens are still hurting after the freeze

The course is usually always nice. The greens got hit by the freeze pretty hard and they are recuperating. Some putts are bumpy and go wherever they want. Pace of play is normally good but it was slow as there was two slow foursomes in front of us. Definitely will come back but only with a deal. It's too pricey in winter especially in current conditions.

Awesome golf course

I love this course. I’ve played it twice now and it’s been in excellent shape both times. The greens were pretty rough this last occasion because of dry weather but everyone says it’s not the usual. The course layout is great and I have not had issues with the pace of play. Friendly staff and a great driving range. Can’t ask for much more than that.
