Golf near Sebastian — Sebastian, Florida

Golfers in Sebastian can play the city-owned Sebastian Municipal Golf Course in town, Indian River County's 36-hole Sandridge Golf Club in Vero Beach, or two nonprofit-run public courses in south Brevard County.

The closest course is the city's own. The City of Sebastian describes Sebastian Municipal Golf Course as an 18-hole championship course with PGA professionals, practice facilities, a fully stocked pro shop and a full-service restaurant, at 100 Brushfoot Drive. Its in-depth history and programs are covered on a separate page; this page compares it with the other public options a Sebastian golfer can reach.

To the south, Sandridge Golf Club is home to 36 holes of public golf in Vero Beach and is owned and operated by Indian River County. To the north, across the Brevard County line beyond Micco, the nonprofit Golf Brevard operates The Habitat at Valkaria in Malabar and Spessard Holland on the barrier island in Melbourne Beach. Together these give Sebastian residents a city course, two county courses and two Brevard layouts, all open to the public.

For an 18-hole round with a cart on October 10, 2026, Sebastian Municipal charged $50, Sandridge $35 for non-cardholders, The Habitat $54 before 11 a.m. and Spessard Holland $52 before 11 a.m.

Each operator prices by season and time of day. The City of Sebastian rate sheet sets four seasons, Fall from October 1 to December 20, Winter from December 21 to April 30, Spring from May 1 to June 21 and Summer from June 22 to September 30. In the fall of 2026, 18 holes with a cart cost $50, or $42 with the city's $100 discount card, and an 18-hole walk after 1 p.m. cost $30. In winter, from December 21, 2026 to April 30, 2027, the 18-hole cart rate rises to $66. Juniors 15 and younger walk 9 or 18 holes for $5 after 2 p.m. The city states that all fees include sales tax.

Sandridge Golf Club rates run lower in October and higher in the winter season. For October 1 to 31, 2026, 18 holes with half a cart cost $35 for non-cardholders and $28 for ID cardholders; from November 1 to December 24, 2026 the rates are $60 and $44; and from December 26, 2026 to April 30, 2027 they are $75 and $56. Sandridge ID cards are sold to Indian River County residents for $70 and to other Florida residents for $95, with proof of residency, and expire September 30, 2027. For Sebastian residents, who live in Indian River County, the $70 card is the relevant one.

Golf Brevard posts flat rates valid from October 1, 2026. The Habitat charges $54 for 18 holes riding before 11 a.m., $49 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and $40 after 2 p.m., with loyalty rates $7 lower. Spessard Holland charges $52, $47 and $42 for the same riding windows. Both list prices per player including tax.

The courses near Sebastian range from Spessard Holland's 5,210-yard par 67 on the barrier island to The Habitat's 6,802-yard par 72 in the Grant-Valkaria preserve land north of Micco.

Sandridge Golf Club offers two different Indian River County courses. The Dunes Course, opened in April 1987, winds around an ancient ridge along Florida's east coast that was once used for mining. The Lakes Course, opened in December 1992, features what the club calls one of the toughest holes in South Florida, the par-4 14th with an island green. Sandridge says it will mark 40 years in April 2027.

The Brevard courses sit in very different settings. Golf Brevard describes The Habitat as a par 72, 18-hole course stretching 6,802 yards through the nature preserve of Grant-Valkaria, near the Indian River Lagoon and Brevard County's southern boundary, with wetlands and pine forest where sandhill cranes, gopher tortoises and scrub-jays live. Spessard Holland, a Palmer Enterprises design that opened in 1977, is a par 67 of 5,210 yards between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River, with 6 par threes, 11 par fours and one par five. Golf Brevard reported that Spessard Holland reopened for play on October 1, 2026, with an irrigation project continuing through October.

The Sebastian course is the only one inside city limits, and the only one a Sebastian Highlands golfer can reach without leaving town.

Last verified: October 10, 2026, on the City of Sebastian website. Sandridge Golf Club and Golf Brevard rates for the Vero Beach and Brevard courses were checked the same day on each operator's own site.

For Sebastian residents, the city course offers the shortest drive and a $100 discount card, Sandridge offers the cheapest October rounds with a $70 Indian River County ID card, and the Brevard courses add flat time-of-day pricing.

The rate sheets show the trade-offs. Sebastian Municipal's fall rate of $50 drops to $42 with its discount card, while a Sandridge ID cardholder from Indian River County paid $28 for 18 holes with half a cart in October 2026, then $44 from November 1. The Habitat's 2 p.m. rate of $40 and Spessard Holland's $42 suit players willing to tee off late. Juniors 15 and younger can walk the Sebastian course for $5 after 2 p.m., the lowest posted round anywhere on this list.

All five courses are public. Sebastian's belongs to the City of Sebastian and Sandridge to Indian River County, so their rates are set through the city and county, while The Habitat and Spessard Holland are run by Golf Brevard, which describes itself as a 501(c)(3) founded in 2018 to preserve public golf in Brevard County.

Range balls are sold by the token at the Sebastian course on Brushfoot Drive, but players who carry their own balls, gloves and tees to Sebastian Municipal or Sandridge can find golf gear on Digital Towns Market. Digital Towns Market is our marketplace.
