On Florida’s Treasure Coast, connection comes as easily as the ocean breeze. At The Orchid Island Club, a private, gated club community in Vero Beach, camaraderie thrives in every corner — from seaside dinners to friendly matches on the courts. For many Members, the newly expanded Sports Complex has become the heartbeat of daily life, where play, wellness, and friendship come together beneath the palms.
Where Pickleball and Tennis Inspire Connection
Across six cushioned pickleball courts and eight Har-Tru tennis courts, Members of all ages and skill levels gather daily to play, laugh, and share the easy rhythm of Florida’s private club lifestyle. Morning clinics often lead to impromptu doubles matches, while evening socials create the perfect setting for new friendships and familiar faces to meet again. Whether you’re an avid player or simply enjoy the energy of the game, Orchid Island’s courts offer a welcoming atmosphere that embodies the Club’s hallmark; connection through activity. The sound of paddles and racquets, laughter, and the rustle of palms create a soundtrack that defines pickleball and tennis within the gates of Orchid Island.

A Social Hub Beneath the Palms
The newly reimagined 2.2-acre Sports Complex serves as the vibrant heart of the Club, a place where friendly competition meets effortless connection. Between games, Members unwind at the Pelican Pavilion, shaded by palm trees and cooled by coastal breezes. It’s common to see friends cheering each other on from the sidelines, or families gathering to watch an afternoon match before heading to the Beach Club for sunset cocktails. This sense of continuity, of play flowing naturally into leisure, reflects the Club’s guiding philosophy; life here moves at just the right pace.

Courtside Camaraderie Comes Naturally
What truly defines the experience at Orchid Island isn’t just the quality of the facilities and amenities, it’s the spirit of the people who play here. Members often describe the community as warm, collegial, and refreshingly genuine. It’s not uncommon for a casual pickleball match to turn into a friendly happy hour, or for a morning tennis clinic to end with a quiet conversation on the terrace. That’s the beauty of private club life behind the gates of Orchid Island Golf & Beach Club; it’s active, yet unhurried. Social, yet personal. As General Manager Robert Tench often says, “Orchid Island is a place where people who’ve been successful in life come to enjoy friends, family, and great amenities — a place where camaraderie comes naturally.”
A Lifestyle Designed for Balance and Belonging
At The Orchid Island Club, wellness and connection go hand in hand. From the Arnold Palmer championship golf course and oceanfront dining to the pickleball and tennis courts that foster everyday friendships, each element of life here reflects a thoughtful balance between movement and tranquility. Members embrace days filled with intention, a morning game, a spa visit, a walk along the private beach, or a sunset shared with friends. It’s this graceful rhythm that makes Orchid Island a standout among private clubs in Florida; exclusive yet inviting, lively yet serene, and always rooted in authentic connection.
Where Wellness Meets Welcome
From the first serve to the final sunset, life at Orchid Island reflects the values that matter most, community, well-being, and balance. Whether you’re stepping onto the courts for a quick match or gathering with friends for an evening toast, you’ll find that here, courtside camaraderie truly comes naturally.
