Mangrove Sands Golf Club - Vero Beach, Florida

My son who is an avid golfer is playing in a scramble at Mangrove this morning. When I found out Joe is the one of the pros we were blown away. I’m definitely going to buy a membership, Joe is a legitimate as they come when it comes to golf and course management. He coached my son Derek when he was little, so excited to support Joe and his team in the new endeavor. Anyone who knows golf in Indian River knows the courses Joe has worked and they are beyond top notch!!

First off I know it’s new owners and will take sometime for turnaround. I will say staff very friendly and they have done a wonderful job on clubhouse. That being said, other than the greens being a little greener since last ownership., the golf course is still atrocious. At least with previous owners you play beater golf for $20-30 bucks and got what you paid for. I just paid $53 about same as Sand Ridge .
Hopefully they spend a fortune to fix because bones of course not terrible. The value right now is not .

Happy to see the remodeling. We had some good customer service with two employees. My parents came to meet us and ran into a less than friendly staff member. Will give it another shot could have just been a rough day for the individual. Loved the golf shop and new carts. Range baskets are more generous than the last club i played.

Mangrove Sands is a fun place to golf. New owners are working hard to create a great course and aa entertaining club house. The course had been mismanaged for years and those of us who have played it see many improvement and many more to come. The course is fun because it’s a bit wide, perfect for 24 handicaps like me. You feel no pressure playing Mangrove. Great for an outing with challenges, but some forgiveness. Sand traps need sand and some of the fairways/greens are rough. The five stars are for the current environment and the amazing effort to improve the course. An added bonus is that this course is loaded with many bird species and two really big alligators.

My Dad was a Florida golf course developer and I worked at most of the courses he developed and/or ran. I say this to qualify my comment. It took a lot of courage and committed backing capital to take over this operation. Joe, AJ and their team have, without question, done more in a tighter span of time than many thought possible. They and their team are willing and able to get the job done. They have already turned around the food and beverage operation, remodeled the pro shop and exponentially changed for the better, outside services, to include their course maintenance team. Yes, they had a rate increase, but we as players are contributing with that rate increase to support Mangrove Sands becoming the GEM we all know it can be. CHEERS!

I still haven't even golfed here 🙂 I've gone for karaoke night a few times, to have dinner on others occasions and even got to spend to time with the owners. First off, the staff is very friendly. The bar tender is terrific and the prices are very reasonable. The food - much better than I would have ever expected. Everyone at my table thoroughly enjoyed their meal. So far, this has been my go to hang out spot, but I think I'll try golf next time.

how is this top ten in Florida listed as listed on the website? Even excusing that, since it seems, they are trying to update the course to make it better. but it is nowhere near worth the price as they have it. It is currently the exact same cost as SandRidge. The people here are comply out of touch with what the golf course is and are charging as if it is what they think it MIGHT be one day.

to me it's a slap in the face to people who liked to play this course as a nice easy laid-back option

Recently had them cater our corporate event and they by far exceeded our expectations. Chef Milton can cook! The food was served fresh and warm. Tom and AJ go out of their way to provide a first class experience. Now I am addicted to their cheesesteaks...:)
