Viera East Golf Club

Viera East is on the west side of Melbourne between Wickham Rd and Stadium exits off I-95, on the east side of the Interstate, in fact a couple of holes run along the highway. It's routed through a residential development with houses and/or water lining the holes. Good solid course, more links-style of layout with open fairways and approaches, but with plenty of sand and a few trees scattered about. It was designed by Joe Lee in the 1990's, and It tips out a 6,700 yards, or as short as 4,800 yards, with a 72.1 course rating and a 129 slope from the back tees. Mostly open landing areas off the tee and large undulating greens, well bunkered and a lot of water hazards, providing some risk/reward options. The course is a good value, even in the height of the season, and is generally in good condition.
