Bent Pine Golf Club

Bent Pine Golf Club is a private club in Vero Beach conceived in 1975 and opened in 1979, founded by a group of businessmen (several from John's Island) who wanted their own private course west of the Intracoastal Waterway on roughly 576 acres of lakes, dunes, and pines. The course was designed by renowned architect Joe Lee, the Dick Wilson protege behind layouts such as Doral's Blue Monster and Bay Hill. Lee reportedly called Bent Pine his personal favorite among the 200-plus courses he designed.
