Set on an old citrus grove in Vero Beach, Quail Valley Golf Club opened in 2001 under the collaborative design of Tom Fazio II and Nick Price. The course boasts an adventurous layout utilizing the land's slopes and undulations, along with expansive water hazards in play on 13 holes. Open driving zones are visually shrunk by bunkers and hazards, while putting surfaces have tricky slopes that feed into difficult runoff areas. The best of Quail Valley is on display during the finishing stretch, which features the long par-3 16th with water in the backdrop, the dogleg par-4 17th hugging the nearby lake and the uphill par-4 18th that plays up to the stunning Hamptons-style clubhouse.
