⛳ Golf Etiquette #10: Take Care of the Course
One of the greatest things about Viera East Golf Club isn't just the greens, fairways, or beautiful views—it's the shared responsibility we all have in keeping this course a special place to play.
Every golfer can make a difference with a few simple actions.
🗑️ Pick Up Trash
If you see an empty bottle, scorecard, wrapper, or other litter, please take a moment to throw it away. Even if it's not yours, a cleaner course benefits everyone.
🏌️ Pick Up Your Tees
Especially broken tees. While they may seem harmless, broken tees can become hazards for maintenance equipment and wildlife. Taking a few seconds to pick them up helps keep our course looking beautiful and safe.
🐦 Respect Our Wildlife
One of the things that makes Viera East unique is the incredible wildlife that calls our course home. Throughout your round, you may encounter:
🦩 Sandhill Cranes
🦅 Osprey and other birds of prey
🦆 Ducks and waterfowl
🐢 Turtles
🐊 Small alligators in and around our lakes
Remember, we are guests in their habitat. Please observe wildlife from a safe distance and never attempt to feed, approach, or disturb them.
🦩 If You Accidentally Strike Wildlife
Golf balls don't always go where we intend. If a Sandhill Crane or other animal is accidentally struck by a golf ball, please notify the Pro Shop immediately. Our staff can assess the situation and contact the appropriate resources if assistance is needed.
🌿 Protect the Course
Repair ball marks, replace divots, rake bunkers, follow cart rules, and leave each area a little better than you found it.
The reason Viera East Golf Club is such a beautiful place to play is because golfers, staff, wildlife, and nature all share this space together.
A little effort from everyone helps preserve the course, protect the environment, and ensure future golfers can enjoy the same experience we do today.
We All Own It Together. Respect It. Protect It. Leave It Better. 💚⛳🦩🐊
