Overall very good

Course is in fine shape. The only negative is the green speed which was quite slow. Too bad as the condition of the greens is excellent, maybe the best in the area but a stamp of no more that 6 to 7 is just too slow.

Sell it

The best thing that the city of Melbourne could do with this course is fix it. Failing that, sell it for building development. It is a disgrace in all aspects. The first clue is the practice tee, which looks ready to plant potatoes.

Going downhill fast

This is a great layout to challenge all aspects of your game. Unfortunately, Brevard county has seemingly given up on presenting the course as it should be. The greens have fairway grass creeping in at an alarming rate. Greens looked like they hadn't been cut for a few days. Even playing preferred lies gave not many options to improve the lie.

Wonderful course in very good condition. Staff were great and helpful. Only negative is that the driving range is a lake but when one takes everything into consideration, not a big deal. I could play here every day for the rest of my life.

Disappointed

Played the original corses 25 years ago and was awed by the condition and amenities. Played the New Course this time and if that is indicative of the resort in general then it has definitely slipped a notch or two. The practice tee needs to be twice the size to accommodate all the players and the only putting green was near the first tee and was very poor.

Best yet

This maybe the best golf course I have ever played in the US. The practice facility is the best I've seen anywhere. I played as part of a package so not sure of the cost, but if you can afford it, play it. I put $125 in the review because it wouldn't;t let me leave ti blank

One of Melbournes best.

Baytree is in my opinion is top three of Melbourne courses. Greens are excellent and quite fast, probably around 9 on the stimp. If you're going to be golfing through your lunch period I would recommend bringing your own as the clubhouse has a poor selection of dining options.

Strait hitters course

Habitat is a wilderness type course with almost no development in view. Lots of wildlife are to be seen. However this also means there is not much room for error from the tee of on long second shots. The fairways are reasonably generous but the bush eats many balls. Water is in play on every hole also. Add the usual Florida wind and you better bring a couple of sleeves of your favorite ball.

Best course in the area

Have played Viera East many times and can't recall it being in better shape. Greens medium pace and true. Overseeding starting to come in well. Pick your tees carefully as some of the carries can be challenging.

Improvements needed

Very busy the day we played which explains the slow pace. New management company operating this course so hopefully they will get it together soon. No score cards, no starter and parts of the course could use some TLC. Still a great little course that is no pushover, especially from the back tee.

Best greens in the area

The course is prone to be wettish in areas and some fairways show the damage from continual wetness .The fairways not affected were excellent as were the greens. Tricky to read and fairly quick. The course was carved out of what was a swamp and therefore has a lot of water hazards to deal with. Take a few water balls!

Course is generally in good condition and well presented. Greens were quite fast and true. Pace of play can sometimes be an issue but still acceptable.

Great greens

Had a 10,30 tee time but was apron 15 late getting off. Very slow, waited on every shot for all 18 holes resulting on a 5 hour round. Just to many golfers with too little time between groups.

Course was in pretty good shape and quite quick greens.

Poor

Pro shop would not honour the golf now price because one of our foursome didn't show so had to pay the full price. The course is usually in poor condition but the greens were exceptionally poor this time. Very little grass on some and lots more on others making it difficult to gauge green speed from one to another. The holes look like they hadn't been changed in many days and were pretty ragged .Good value if you get a hot deal but at $37 about $10 too much.
