Duran Golf Club - Championship Course
About
Duran Golf Club is a local favorite, known for being the best public course in Brevard County. The club is also home to the area's only lighted nine-hole, par-3 course. The course stretches across fertile terrain that was formerly a sod farm, lending some of the lushest playing surfaces on Florida's east coast. The championship layout has a links feel with subtle mounding that frames large, undulating greens. The beautiful landscape comes into play throughout the golf course. Sparkling lakes and ponds, lush grasses, and stately palms all add to the beauty and challenge of the round. Coastal breezes come into play on several holes thanks to the seaside location. Duran Golf Club's practice facility is almost as popular as the 18-hole course. In addition to the par-3 course, there is also a large driving range with mounded areas where you can practice with uphill and downhill lies.

Best Maintained Course in Brevard
Duran Golf Club is always in great shape and has a nice but somewhat challenging layout making it a fun place to play a round of golf. The greenskeeper really made it a lot tougher on the greens for this round as most pins were placed in the most difficult positions possible. Made for an interesting putting situation.
Links Course
Great conditions, classic links layout, a little unimaginative, several times I got to a tee box and felt like I had already played the hole. Would like to see some more dog legs but overall a good course. I would play it again.
You need some rangers out there . I noticed there are some ham and eggers out there that do not no golf .
Best course in the area.
If you would like to play a similar course as you see professionals play on tv, Duran is really the only one that is public and on the space coast that you can tell how you measure up. Close second is Viera East. Having said that there are several courses that are well maintained and play good on the space coast, but Duran is tops.
Getting there
Tee boxes and fairways were in great shape. Greens were slower than normal (9.5 on the stimpmeter according to the sign at the starter shack), but they putted smooth. They are normally 11-12 speed. The undulating greens and wind make the course a real challenge at times. We will be playing there often.
Excellent
Awesome course. First time playing and it won’t be the last. Great conditions, friendly staff, good people out on the course. Cant’t ask for anything more.
Greens slower than normal. Course is in great shape.
Course is in great shape. Fairway, greens and tee boxes great. The greens run slower than normal but the puttt true. I’ll be back!
Not the course it's golf now
I never made my tee time because I got held up at work. Golf now has really gotten so bad. They used to let you cancel your hot deals and get a credit for the rate you paid before 48 hours. Well unfortunately I had to cover a shift because the worker that called out got covid and was really sick. So I picked up the shift to give the surgery center coverage hoping to get out in time after finding out that once again golf now changed their cancellation policy no all hit deals are non refundable. Golf now needs to step up their game and realize things can change and people my not be able to make it. So it's not the course I'm unhappy with it is golf now. Plus you call and can get ahold of no one at golf now anymore. What happened to your company. You have really gone down hill on the customer relations!

As always, Duran delivers a great, well maintained golf course. The staff is wonderful, the club house is more “upscale” than the local alternatives, the course is challenging, and the provided amenities, down to the high quality of the public water fountains with a “bottle refill” option are ice cold and larger sized styrofoam cups are available throughout the course.
Course in excellent condition
Had a nice day at Duran course is in great shape, especially for June. Greens were smooth but a bit slow. Place was excellent. Great hot deal so I will definitely return.
Solid modern public golf
I always enjoy playing Duran Golf Club in the annual Space Coast Amateur golf tournament, which they host every March. They also host several men's and women's college events. I'm glad to support any course that supports the competitive game like that.
The course is an interesting one, with greens that have more movement than most in the region, offset by fairly generous corridors and water that tends to flank fairways and greens, rather than create forced carries. It becomes a stout test when the wind gets up and fairways and greens get firm and fast. I really like the par 3s, which are nods to template holes like the Redan (7th) and Biarritz (17th).
This past winter was a little unkind to the greens, which had some thin patches; I was told the putting surfaces are likely to be replaced next summer, which means that come fall 2023 Duran will be looking its best since it opened in 2005.
Course was in good condition bunkers were wet due to rains. Staff are very friendly and never keeps you waiting. A very good course in all aspects
Great course and features but the course stacked all the tee times on top of each other way too much so that with 2 people it took us 5 and a half hours to play 18 holes due to how backed up the people were in front of us
Duran Golf Club-Must Play
I've heard about this course for a long time but the pricing is usually higher than I like to pay for a round but I was lucky enough to find great rate for 4 on Golf Now for $31.
The course overall was in great condition. There were a couple of tee boxes that could have used a little seeding but the fairways and green were in great condition throughout the day, we tee'd off at 2pm.
The course layout looked very challenging with water on every hole and lots of shrubbery to tee over but the course played very well and was fairly ball friendly with all of challenges in play.
Will play again at the right price!
The course was in excellent condition. Pin placements were extremely difficult which slowed play. Unfortunately the group ahead of kept going from a twosome to a fivesome with the group ahead of them. S
Best course in the area
Everything was excellent, the greens, fairways and tee boxes. Can’t wait to come back.
