The Moorings at The Moorings Yacht & Country Club

The Moorings is a Pete Dye family collaboration located in Vero Beach, Florida, with design contributions from Pete Dye, Alice Dye, and their son P.B. Dye. The course reflects the Dye family's characteristic approach to strategic golf architecture, featuring the angular bunkering, railroad ties, and thoughtful use of native vegetation that became signatures of their work. The layout takes advantage of the coastal Florida landscape, incorporating natural wetlands and water features that both define playing corridors and test shot-making decisions throughout the round.

The Moorings Yacht & Country Club sits along Florida's Treasure Coast, where the Atlantic Ocean influences the climate and terrain. The course routing works with the relatively flat topography typical of the region, using elevation changes created through design and strategic bunkering to add visual interest and challenge. Water comes into play on multiple holes, requiring golfers to balance aggressive play with course management, particularly when wind affects club selection and ball flight.

The club operates as a private yacht and country club, combining golf with boating amenities that reflect Vero Beach's coastal culture. The facility serves a membership drawn to the area's relaxed atmosphere and year-round golf climate. The Dye family's involvement gives the course architectural credibility within Florida's competitive golf landscape, offering members a layout that rewards precision and strategic thinking over pure distance.
