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.

Good course

Though the freeze did a lot of damage to many of the courses in the area, this course is in decent shape. Fairways a little brown, but greens and bunkers good. Staff is super friendly. Didn’t eat here, beverage lady very nice too. Good layout. Like the course.

Love this course

We moved to Viera 14 years ago specifically to of this golf course. The fairways are forgiving, beautiful views, greens are challenging but fair. My only less than excellent rating is because the greens have suffered due to lack of rain (no fault of the excellent staff). Many improvements have been made in the past few years. Definitely my choice in the area!

Greens are becoming overwhelmed by weeds patches. Definitely starting to affect puts. Tee boxes are starting to get worn down.

Greens were terrible

The first time I played this course was amazing. Coming back 8 months later really shocked me with how bad the course looked. The greens had weeds in them which made it impossible to putt. What a shame. Not worth the price

One of the best options in this area.

Great layout, multiple tee boxes, fair prices, and excellent greens keeping. All the clubs in this area are still in “ Florida winter” conditions with thin grass in areas and hard ground making it tough to pitch. But, they do a better job here than most places.

We play here every time we visit the area.

Greens

Greens in poor shape, full of weeds that made putting impossible. Fairways cut really short that makes it tough to get underneath the ball. Only played nine holes and at ~$40 the track doesn’t warrant the expense. I’m glad I didn’t pay the $83 to play 18!

AVOID AT ALL COST

This place is an absolute JOKE and being over $95 for a goat track is just highway robbery. My first complaint is with the insane residents who think this is their private country club. News flash you old farts, ITS A PUBLIC GOLF COURSE. Nobody cares you live in the neighborhood but thinking they could just roll past us on the FIRST TEE was something I’ve never experienced before. These 4 older men attempted to jump in front of us after we had just teed off. The ensuing conversation with them had me firmly believing this was as hidden camera prank show or something with how clueless these guys were. We were constantly waiting on more slow old people all day long on every single shot. But of course the ignorant course “Marshall” was up our tail saying we need to speed up play even though I had to wait on every single shot because I hit the ball over 100yds with any club in my bag. Food in the restaurant horrible. Cart girl drove by without acknowledging us multiple times. One of the worst times I’ve ever had on a golf course. Pro Shop is terrible literally nothing in it but some bland, boring, basic merch, and they also did nothing to make up for our experience. I would not play here again if you paid me. If you enjoy an awful overpriced experience with a careless staff and rude residents then this the place for you. Course used to be nice but I guess the new pro and GM only care about lining their pockets because it was a dump out there. Bald tee boxes, heavy weeds on the greens. The craziest thing is that Baytree has the best rolling greens around now. I actually went to Baytree after hearing some Viera East employees talking down on the place. These places have flip flopped over the last year. AVOID AVOID AVOID VIERA EAST

It’s Peak Season: Pace of Play severely impacted

This is my favorite course in the Melbourne-area; almost exclusively because the greens are exquisite. Unfortunately, that was not the case when I played the front-9 yesterday. The crab grass (or whatever you call the type of grass that is invasive and grows much faster than what it is primarily seeded with) made the surface look like a guy with a nasty 5-o’clock shadow. I had a 8-footer, slightly downhill right-to-left breaker that should have dropped for birdie but instead, about a foot from the hole, the ball rolled over a tiny mountain and shot about 45-degrees left, missing the cup by six inches. If anything it should have missed on the high-side but it was tracking to slowdown and fall center cup from what I was seeing. Oh well, birdies come and birdies go.

All of this said, it’s still my favorite course in the area. It’s usually has a very well-paced round, the fairways are great, the bunkers are good, and when the greens are cut down; they’re perfect.

Wish it was better

Not worth $80 a round. Dead spots on the tees, fairways and around the greens. Duran is in much better condition for the same price. Disappointed because we heard great things about Viera East.

Customer service was terrible! Guy hung up on me when I I was trying to explain to him my issue with a tee time. Christopher is so bad and won’t hear me out and told me have a good day and hung up! Worse app!

Viera East has great drainage considering recent rains. Fairway grass longer than usual and bunkers need additional sand. Great layout, staff, and practice area. Friendly 6 tee box choices is pleasant for all skill levels.
