RedStick falls into the "off the grid" category. The walking-only club in Vero Beach was founded in the late 1990s by a group of players frustrated by the dearth of attractive and available club options in the region. They filled the small membership early on and saw no need to seek further publicity—in fact, very few Golf Digest panelists have seen it, with only just enough now for RedStick to qualify for the Best in State ranking. Built on a sand crest sitting almost 40 feet above sea level despite being just 1,200 yards from the Intracoastal Waterway, the mostly open-vista Rees Jones-design has small, elevated greens with fluid bunkers swept up into the edges and a second nine that detours through a preserve of Loblolly and slash pine.
