Getting there
Sandridge Country Club is most readily accessed via Melbourne International Airport (MLB), situated roughly 45 minutes north along Florida's Space Coast, or via the larger hub of Orlando International (MCO), a 90-minute drive inland. For those traveling by private aircraft, Vero Beach Regional Airport (VRB) lies just minutes from the club's gates, offering the discretion and convenience that befits this exclusive enclave. The drive south from Melbourne traces the Indian River Lagoon through a landscape of palmettos and coastal scrub, gradually shedding the bustle of the Space Coast before arriving at the quiet, manicured grounds of Sandridge Country Club - a sanctuary where the flat, wind-sculpted terrain and native vegetation speak to golf's deep roots in Florida's most refined corners.
