Indian River Club

Overview: Indian River Club is a private Ron Garl course in Vero Beach, opened in 1995 on a 300-acre property. The current routing-specific scorecard lists 6,999 yards at par 72 from the master tees. Its playing character changes across the site, moving from pine stands to Old Florida sand, lakes, marsh and oak hammocks before reaching the higher coastal ground near holes five and six.

History: Construction began in January 1994 and the course was ready for play in February 1995. The development was built around a deliberate relationship with the native landscape, preserving distinct environments rather than flattening the site into one uniform parkland texture. Ron Garl's design credit is consistent across the available course records.

Did You Know? Indian River Club's sixth hole is listed as a 401-yard par four and is identified as the toughest hole in the course record. The site also reaches elevations of about 48 feet along an ancient coastal sand dune, an unexpectedly varied landform for this part of Florida.
