What are your favorite courses in the Space Coast area around Melbourne, FL??

I'll be in Cocoa Beach next month and looking for 1 or 2 courses to play.

Thanks.

One for hooking
One for knocking it in the cup

I grew up there and my dad still lives there, so I know it well. I recommend either Baytree or Duran. Both courses are a lot of fun and are probably pretty reasonable this time of year. I would have said Viera East, but they had some sort of disaster with their greens that have made them unplayable. I grew up playing Turtle Creek, but that's also in terrible shape right now. Everything else around there is either private or a mundane municipal. If you can spare an hour drive, go down to Port St. Lucie and play the three courses at the PGA Golf Club. I did that one weekend last year and loved it.
In my stand bag:
Burner 09 10.5 Regular SQ Dymo 15* 3 wood A4 18* Stiff
Fli-Hi 3 & 4 hybrids; MX-20 4-PW Stiff Black Nickel 50*, Spin Milled 58* White Hot 2-Ball Belly
TP Black SG4

Thanks Stix. Both of those courses look fun.

What's the story with Duran? Is it links type(as an old cattle ranch)? I'll have to see if Port St. Lucia will "work in the schedule. Thanks for the ideas.

It's what I call "Florida links", meaning the rolling hills and some hidden trouble but still has some holes where trees and water are an issue. I remember one hole in particular that was almost a complete 90 degree dogleg with water right and woods left. But there are also holes that are quite forgiving.

Sounds like fun. I will definitely play there. Google maps shows a lot of construction going on around the course. Wonder if that is still happening?

Thanks again for the advice.

    • God I hate when golf can’t give me n+1 day of success. Drives me up the wall when my body is, FU! Im like, ok let’s check the vid. Yep too much turn, arms getting behind me. Ok, I work on that. Get the feel back for a shorter swing. Confirm with video. Then going back to arms down stuff.  Arms down, nope it’s hands out towards the ball. Oh, you get arms down better. Guess what, you don’t get to rotate and you hit 6 inches behind the ball. Yay!  Maybe I should have walked off the range and not wasted my time. I wish there was a body alert system when it’s going to a SOB for the day. 😭 OK rant over, I’ll be back at this tomorrow.

    • I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.      
    • Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.
    • No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.
