Orchid Island Golf & Beach Club in Vero Beach, FL., has unveiled its new 2,000-square-foot Pelican Pavilion that includes six cushioned, regulation size pickleball courts, a 32-seat outdoor covered social area, basketball court, croquet court, bocce lanes, and a playground.
The Pelican Pavilion bar will serve cocktails, wine, beer and refreshments as well as light bites from the Orchid Island culinary team. The design reflects Orchid Island’s West Indies signature style.
This addition comes on the heels of the Club’s 2024 renovation of its Arnold Palmer Championship Golf Course, overseen by architect Brandon Johnson of the Arnold Palmer Design Company.
“We strive to provide our members with the best-in-class amenities to serve them and their families now and into the future. The Pelican Pavilion will serve as a center of recreation and socialization for the entire family,” said Rob Tench, general manager of Orchid Island Golf & Beach Club. “We are known for our championship golf, our robust racquet program, a fitness center, historic Jungle Trail, kayak launch, and most importantly, our pristine beach.”
As a Certified Audubon Sanctuary by Audubon International with an ocean to river habitat, Orchid Island Golf & Beach Club is committed to preserving the rich wildlife found in Vero Beach. Members delight in the colorful and unique birds often found in and around the Club.
Spanning from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indian River, Orchid Island Golf and Beach Club is highly sought-after for its laidback waterfront lifestyle. The Beach Club serves as the heart of the community, with a resort-style pool, fitness center, salon and spa, and multiple dining venues – all overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
