We’re a member-owned private golf club in Vero Beach, Florida. Prolific golf architect, Joe Lee, who designed more than 200 courses worldwide, including the three championship courses at Disney World Resort and helped Dick Wilson on Doral's Blue Monster, said in his memoir that Bent Pine was his favorite.
Many PGA professionals developed their games and enhanced their careers on our fairways—including PGA Tour veteran and Ryder Cup champion Kenny Perry.
The golf draws people in, but our members keep them here. They stay for Mah Jongg, wine dinners, live music, dancing, and a community where nobody's trying to impress anyone.
Tested at the Highest Level
Six U.S. Open Qualifiers. A Joe Lee design that plays 7,008 yards and hasn't changed what it asks of you since 1979. More than 30 staff members have worked at Bent Pine and gone on to become Touring Pros, Directors of Golf, or Instructors at other prestigious clubs.
The course never gets boring, the shot-making demands change by hole, and the wind off the nearby ocean changes by the hour. Golfers who've been here for years are still working out the same challenges—and they're happy to accept them.
When someone joins Bent Pine, we make introductions. We set up golf pairings, social events, and personal outreach from members who remember what those first few months felt like. In fact, most new members feel like part of the family within their very first weeks. It doesn't take long to realize you truly belong here.
Endless Social Events and Clubs
Some Bent Pine members don't play golf seriously—or don't play at all. They're here for Mah Jongg, Ladies Nights Out, game nights, monthly guest forum speakers, live music and dancing after golf events, and our wine dinners. If you're wondering whether there's a life here for someone who isn't a golfer, the short answer is yes.
No One Keeps Score Off the Course
Our members are former engineers, retired business owners, younger associate members in mid-career, teachers, executives, and people who’ve spent 30 years being good at something and don’t need to brag. We don’t subscribe to posturing, unwritten dress code for who belongs, or social one-upmanship. None of that makes it through the Bent Pine gate.
"My father knew that Bent Pine was a special place back when he and my mother joined in the early days. I have followed them here and now enjoy the challenging golf course and the wonderful dining and social events. Most of all Bent Pine is about the people, the friendships and the community."
