Sebastian Municipal Golf Course Guide

Sebastian Municipal Golf Course is the City of Sebastian's own 18-hole public course at 100 Brush Foot (Brushfoot Drive), on the grounds of Sebastian Municipal Airport (City of Sebastian).

Sebastian Municipal Golf Course is an 18-hole, championship golf course that offers PGA professionals, practice facilities, a fully stocked pro shop and a full service restaurant (City of Sebastian facility listing). The city golf page announces the Pelican Diner and Fore Winds Sports Lounge as now open at the clubhouse, and states the mission of the course as promoting the game of golf, the Sebastian course and the City of Sebastian through customer service, golf events and junior golf (City of Sebastian Golf Course).

Hours of operation, effective November 3, 2024, are 6:45 AM to 5:00 PM, seven days a week. The golf shop and tee time phone is 772-589-6801, and an online tee time system is linked from the same city page (City of Sebastian). For anything beyond the golf shop, the city government sits at Sebastian City Hall, 1225 Main Street (City of Sebastian). The city adds that all fees include sales tax and that rates are subject to change without notice, so the Sebastian golf shop is the place to confirm a price before a round.

Because the city runs it, Sebastian Municipal Golf Course posts its full rate card, membership rules, junior pricing and league calendar on the City of Sebastian website rather than on a private club site. Every figure on this page comes from those city pages.

The Sebastian course was built in 1981 on a 155-acre plot inside Sebastian Municipal Airport, a former Navy field the city received in 1959, and it remains an airport tenant today (City of Sebastian Airport History).

The airport was built by the United States Navy in 1943, known then as Roseland Satellite Field, as a naval flight training station, and it was transferred to the City of Sebastian on January 29, 1959. The transfer deed required that the airport be used solely for aviation purposes. Since its acquisition in 1959, Sebastian Municipal Airport (now 620 acres) has been maintained and operated by the City of Sebastian. The noted championship Sebastian Municipal Golf Course was built in 1981 on a 155-acre plot of land occupying a large portion of the airport property (City of Sebastian).

That history explains the arrangement still in place. The Sebastian Municipal Airport page lists ten airport tenants, including Sebastian Municipal Golf Course, a first-class, City-owned, public facility (City of Sebastian Airport). The same airport page places the field between Vero Beach and Melbourne and describes a general aviation airport with two runways, the longest 4,000 feet; the airport office is at 202 Airport Drive E. The Airport History page puts it in the north coastal region of Indian River County (City of Sebastian). Fairways and runways share the same city property.

Airport projects reach the course directly. The city list of airport infrastructure improvements includes an eastside renovation with a new entrance road and landscaping, a new location for the golf course maintenance building and building sites for new small businesses (City of Sebastian Infrastructure Improvements). The course record board itself starts over at a renovation: the city keeps its records as post renovation, after summer 2001 (City of Sebastian Golf Course Records).

A round at Sebastian Municipal Golf Course costs $50.00 for 18 holes with cart in fall 2026, rising to $66.00 in winter and falling to $40.00 in summer 2027, with tax included (City of Sebastian Rates and Fees).

The City of Sebastian divides the golf year into four seasons: fall (October 1 to December 20), winter (December 21 to April 30), spring (May 1 to June 21) and summer (June 22 to September 30). Cart rates apply from 7 am to the last 18 holes (City of Sebastian).

The Sebastian discount card costs $100.00 a year and cuts each rate, for example from $50.00 to $42.00 for 18 holes with cart in fall 2026, so it pays for itself after about 13 fall rounds with cart. Other city fees are $5.00 per range ball token, $25.00 for a range special of 6 small buckets, $35.00 for 18 hole club rentals, $18.00 for 9 hole club rentals, $90.00 a year for club storage, $30.00 for handicap service and $15.00 for a non-playing rider (City of Sebastian).

The cheapest adult 18 holes in Sebastian is a summer walk: from June 22 to September 30, 2027 an 18 hole walk is $18.00, or $14.00 with the discount card, weekdays all day and after 11 am on weekends and holidays (City of Sebastian Rates and Fees).

For the fiscal year that runs from October 1, 2026 to September 30, 2027, a Sebastian Municipal Golf Course annual membership is $1,100 single or $1,800 family, plus 7% sales tax (City of Sebastian Annual Membership).

Members still pay a daily rate, but it is small. In every season the member rate for 18 holes with cart is $18 all day and 9 holes with cart is $12. Walking is cheaper again: in fall and spring an 18 hole walk is $5 after 1 pm, in winter $6 after 1 pm, and in summer members walk 18 or 9 holes at no charge all day on weekdays and after 11 am on weekends and holidays (City of Sebastian).

The City of Sebastian defines a family membership as a married couple with or without minor dependents, or a head of household living with dependents under 18. Renewals of memberships, discount cards, locker rentals and USGA handicaps fall due on October 1, the start of the city fiscal year. A new membership bought after October 1 is prorated, but only for its first year (City of Sebastian Annual Membership).

A rough break-even from the city figures: a single member who rides 18 holes in winter pays $18 against the $66.00 public cart rate, a $48 difference, so about 23 winter rounds with cart cover the $1,100 single fee before tax (City of Sebastian Rates and Fees).

Juniors 15 and younger can walk 9 or 18 holes at Sebastian Municipal Golf Course after 2 pm for $5.00 in every season, and may ride anytime with another player who holds a valid driver license (City of Sebastian Rates and Fees).

The Sebastian junior range token is $2.00 and a 30 minute junior lesson is $20.00. For adults, the rate card lists one 40 minute lesson with the PGA Director of Golf at $50.00 and five 40 minute lessons at $210.00 (City of Sebastian). The Junior Golf Information page prices small group junior lessons at $20 for one junior, $15 each for two and $10 each for three or four, with lessons normally 45 minutes to 1 hour (City of Sebastian Junior Golf).

SMGC is the North Campus home of the Indian River Golf Foundation, a junior program that the city page says serves players from developmental through experienced junior golfers (City of Sebastian).

One stale figure is worth knowing. As of October 14, 2026, the Sebastian Junior Golf Information page still lists junior walking after 2 pm at $3 and a small bucket of range balls at $2.25 (City of Sebastian Junior Golf Information), while the current Rates and Fees page lists a $5.00 junior walk and a $2.00 junior token for fiscal year 2026 to 2027 (City of Sebastian Rates and Fees). The rate card carries the season dates, so it is the more current of the two; the golf shop at 772-589-6801 settles any doubt.

Sebastian Municipal Golf Course hosts a weekly league almost every day, from a Monday league open to all players to the Sebastian Women's and Men's Golf Associations and the Thursday Sebastian Business League (City of Sebastian Upcoming Events).

The city schedule lists the Monday league at 7AM, the Sebastian Women's Golf Association on Tuesday, the Sebastian Men's Golf Association on Wednesday, a Blitz League at 8:30AM and the Sebastian Business League nine hole scramble at 4PM on Thursday, a couples league at 12:00 noon on Saturday and another Blitz League at 8:30AM on Sunday (City of Sebastian).

Saturdays often go to charity tournaments run by Sebastian groups. The 2026 list includes the Sebastian Chamber of Commerce on May 2, the VFW of Sebastian on September 19, the Italian-American Club of Sebastian on October 24 and Sebastian Rotary on November 11, 2026, most with an 8am shotgun start (City of Sebastian Upcoming Events). A Saturday tee time in Sebastian is worth checking against that list first.

Course maintenance follows the same calendar. The city scheduled aerification for May 11 to 14 and August 31 to September 1, 2026, with 9 holes open each day (City of Sebastian).
