Vista Plantation Golf Club is an Arthur Hills-designed course that is conveniently located near all of Vero Beach's attractions. The course is just a short drive from the scenic beaches, which are part of Florida's Treasure Coast. The course is compact but challenging with small, fast greens and tight fairways. Water hazards also come into play on a few holes. The golf course is challenging enough for avid players yet forgiving enough for high handicappers to approach with confidence. It's a player-friendly layout that is great for beginners and seniors. Though the golf course may not require distance, your short game skills will be put to the test. There is not only water but also numerous strategically placed bunkers. Vista Plantation is a golf course that will make you think and you'll also need to be accurate.

Tis the season

Tis the season for all golfers to do some due diligence on when the course has/or will be doing core aerating the Greens. Front nice was really enjoyable, not a soul in sight, Made the turn with a good score, and then ran into non-puttable greens. I have to think that the punch holes were top dressed properly, but it rained the day before, washing out enough sand to leave concave remnants that made even a two footer bounce about 4 times . In hindsight, I wish I was offered playing the Front 9 twice. All said a good lesson for me since I know it is that necessary time of year.

Tight course with lots of water!

Played this par 62 for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of challenging holes. Par 4's were great with water coming into play all the time. Definitely will be coming back.

Terrible Starter....

I've been staying in Vero Beach for a month...I've played this course 5 times..This had to be the worst golf experience ever. When I saw the starter my wife and I said hello.He didn't answer us..Then he said I'm a mean grumpy old man..What a great way to deal with what you hoped would be a nice day out..When returning to the club house to get something to drink, the person in charge was extremely unfriendly and made us feel like we were a pain and unwelcomed.My wife and I left and went somewhere else for lunch.This golf experience was the last straw and I'll never return.If you want a good golf experience don't go there. I'll take my business elsewhere where they appreciate their customers even if t costs more. If I could give no stars on staff friendliness I would have.

Tiger Jr. loved it.

I have played Vista 5 times this winter. The most noticeable thing to me is the friendly atmosphere but by staff and golfers. Will plan to play here even more next winter.

This course has lots of water!

Third time playing this course....Every hole is adjacent to water.Can easily lose many balls unless your a pretty accurate player. I find it's really helping my short game a lot. Great price and friendly staff.Will be back.

Very Nice!

The course and the crew were very nice with the crew being more forgiving than the course. A lot of water but not impossible to avoid. Also our fellow golfers were also very cordial.

Not worth the money

This is a small course that is part of the Vista Plantation community. It's an Executive style course. For $27 for 9 holes, there tee boxes and several fairways were bare or brown. Not what you'd expect from a Florida course at the height of the season.

Short course but good

Good short course for practicing your short irons and hybrids. Only used driver off a few tees. Sometimes hit a 7 wood but lots of water along fairways and in front of greens. But it was fun and a friendly staff.

Love seeing the newly hatched Egyptian geese

The greens have many black areas. Debris from the last hurricane is still along the cart paths.

Nice short executive golf course with good challenge

Very nice design with some challenging holes with water and well located bunkers. Some Par 4 provide room for the long game (+300 yards on the blue). Enjoy!

Bring your iron game!

For a par 62 course, it is a very fun and challenging little course. I did use all my irons in the bag and a 3 wood on a few holes. Greens are in perfect condition and very fast. The new Champions Bermuda greens are very undulating and difficult to read.
