Duran Golf Club

Viera, FL · 15 mi away

Duran Golf Club sits in Viera on Florida's Space Coast, on land that was once a cattle ranch and sod farm owned by the Duda family. The course opened in 2005 and was built with over a million cubic yards of earth moved to create rolling terrain more typical of a links course than the flat Florida landscape around it. Architect Lewis "Chip" Powell designed the layout with wide, open fairways, mounded greens, and about fifteen ponds and lakes that come into play on most holes. Because the property had almost no trees before construction, several thousand palms, oaks, and cypresses were planted to shape the holes. Bunkering is deliberately kept minimal. Duran is a daily fee public course with five sets of tees ranging from around 5,300 to over 7,100 yards, a clubhouse with dining, and a practice facility that includes a nine-hole short course. Ocean breezes off the Atlantic are a regular factor for approach shots.

Rockledge Country Club

Rockledge, FL · 21 mi away

Rockledge Country Club is a longstanding golf club in Rockledge, Florida, on the state's Space Coast, established in 1918 as one of the area's earliest clubs. The course sits on a natural, park-style property with wetland views and water features that come into play across the layout. The 18-hole course plays to a par of 71 and measures roughly 6,436 yards from the back tees, with five sets of tees offering flexibility for different skill levels. Diamond Zoysia greens are used to keep putting surfaces consistent through Florida's seasons.

Dress code requires collared shirts, and the course closes on Mondays for maintenance.
