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.

greens need work.

Overall enjoyed the course, but many of the greens were in poor condition. However back at the clubhouse I read that in May they will be doing major work on the greens.

Lots of water

A few greens were in rough shape but there were signs that they were switching to new, higher quality grass next month, so understandably.

Give it another chance.....

The greens are bad as other recent reviews state. However, I found out that they are 30 years old and just suffered an extremely wet year. I learned today that the course is undergoing a complete greens and tee renovation this Summer. They are installing Champion greens. That being said, I can't wait to see this course with "real Greens" I look forward to returning this Fall and may check it out this Summer as they have 9 holes open during construction.

I paid for 18, and left after 9!

I would not drive the 37 miles to play this course again. It had good reviews for the most part, but until I was on the greens? They are the worst I have played on in over 5 years. Fairways are average, the sand bunkers are good. That's about it...didn't eat or drink there. Treated very well otherwise. I will stay and play further north along the space coast. The course conditions did nor warrant the price to play there!

Short Course but you have to play Target Golf

Enjoyed playing the course. For golfers that are just working on accuracy will have problems with hitting condos, roads and water. The condition of the greens was poor on several of the holes. I played with a beginning golfer and he lost many balls (and I am glad he did not hit any condos). I would go back but I thought that the price to value was not the best.

Short but good

This is a short 18 hole golf course, but it is challenging and fun. Some rough spots on some of the greens, but well maintained overall. I enjoy playing here.

November course condition

Played 18 holes on November 6 and was pleasantly surprised. The course was in the best shape I have ever seen it with decent fairways and lightning fast greens. For those that have played it before and putted on shaggy greens, it's now playing totally different. Don't know how long this will last so I suggest you play it now!

Good value

As many courses during the summer months, the greens are under repair. There has also been a lot of rain lately. But a nice little tight course, good for your short game. Very good value for the money.

Hot round all around.

Was about 90 degrees when we played, but there was a breeze. For a par 62, this course is in very good shape. They are rebuilding greens #2 and #18, so you have to play to temps. Fairways are in good shape and the greens are okay as well, considering the amount of play the course gets. Very challenging for first timers for water is on every hole but #2. If you want to tune up your game for a par 72 course, this is the place to play. A bucket of range balls is $5 and the practice putting green is in very nice shape. A plus for all golfers wanting to work on their game.

The water is on the right

The course is in good condition accept on hole 2 and 18 the greens were under construction. They had temporary greens in front. Very warm day did not have enough water stops on the way.
