At Grand Harbor Golf & Beach Club, May through September brings a quieter, more relaxed season with organized play, reciprocal golf opportunities, summer events, beach access, dining, wellness programming, and a limited Summer Membership opportunity.
For members who stay in Vero Beach through the summer, Grand Harbor remains active, social, and easy to enjoy.
As the summer season begins, Grand Harbor adjusts its golf schedule to match the rhythm of the club.
Association play moves to Wednesdays, with 18-hole play beginning at 9:00 a.m. and 9-hole play beginning at 9:30 a.m. Organized group play continues throughout the summer, and members are encouraged to submit group requests so the Golf Team can coordinate tee sheets.
Key May golf dates include Mother’s Day Tournament, Interclub Match with Tesoro, Nine & Dine, Ladies’ Summer Invitational, and Memorial Day Weekend events.
This summer, both golf courses at Grand Harbor remain open throughout the season with a scheduled rotation of temporary closures as part of the club’s annual summer maintenance and improvement program.
The River Course continues to offer one of the most scenic rounds of golf in Vero Beach, featuring open fairways on the front nine and more strategic target-style golf on the back. Mangroves, waterways, and native Florida landscapes make it one of the most visually distinctive golf experiences on the Treasure Coast.

Throughout the summer, Grand Harbor continues work on tee complexes, turf improvements, and practice enhancements as part of the club’s larger long-term investment into the golf experience.

During the summer season, Golf members have the opportunity to experience a wide variety of respected private clubs across the Treasure Coast, Palm Beaches, Naples, Stuart, Port St. Lucie, and South Florida regions. Reciprocal play adds variety to the summer golf calendar while giving members access to exceptional courses beyond Grand Harbor.

The club’s two distinct golf experiences, Audubon-certified courses, private beach access, and active social culture create a summer atmosphere that feels relaxed and active.
