The Club at Pointe West


About this course
The Club at Pointe West features a John Sanford design situated in Vero Beach along Florida's Treasure Coast. Sanford, who worked extensively in Florida during the latter decades of the twentieth century, created a layout that reflects the region's characteristic flat terrain and subtropical landscape. The course occupies land typical of coastal Florida developments, where water management and strategic bunkering define much of the challenge rather than dramatic elevation change. The routing incorporates numerous lakes and wetland areas that serve both aesthetic and functional purposes in this low-lying environment. These water features come into play on multiple holes, requiring golfers to make careful club selections and consider risk-reward scenarios throughout the round. Native vegetation and mature plantings frame the fairways, providing definition and a sense of enclosure despite the generally open Florida topography. Pointe West operates as part of a residential community in Vero Beach, a town known for its relaxed coastal atmosphere and concentration of golf properties. The club serves its membership with amenities typical of Florida country club developments from this era. The course layout accommodates players of varying skill levels through multiple tee configurations, while the design emphasizes accuracy and course management over pure length. Conditions reflect the maintenance standards common to private clubs in the region, with bermudagrass surfaces suited to the warm, humid climate.

Getting there
The Club at Pointe West is most readily accessed via Melbourne International Airport (MLB), situated roughly forty minutes north along Florida's Space Coast, or through the larger hub of Orlando International (MCO), a ninety-minute drive inland that offers broader connectivity for international travelers. For those arriving by private aviation, Vero Beach Regional Airport (VRB) lies just minutes from the club's gates, providing the discretion and convenience befitting this oceanside enclave. The drive south from Melbourne traces the Indian River Lagoon's western shore, a gentle descent through coastal Florida's quieter reaches, before arriving at the manicured grounds of The Club at Pointe West, where the Atlantic's salt-tinged air and the club's refined architecture signal entry into one of the Treasure Coast's most exclusive preserves.
