Indian River Colony Club
Private 55+, member-owned community in Melbourne (Viera East area), Brevard County, built around a private 18-hole golf course (Gordon G. Lewis, 1986; par 72; 6,647 yards) with water on every hole. Historically limited to retired U.S. military commissioned officers (O-4+) and surviving spouses; now reportedly allows up to roughly 20% non-military ownership while retaining its military-retirement community identity. Mandatory monthly community/maintenance fees (scaled to home size) fund extensive home-maintenance services plus access to the golf course, pool, and clubhouse ('At Ease Club'); the club also sells stand-alone Social and Golf memberships to non-residents.

Communities Near Indian River Colony Club
Living in these communities does not automatically grant golf membership unless noted below — confirm access directly with the club.
What to Independently Verify
Confirm current eligibility rules (military rank requirement and the non-military ownership allowance), exact mandatory monthly fee amounts by home size, whether green/cart fees are charged on top of the mandatory fee for actual play, and gated/access-control status directly with the community — not independently confirmed from the public sources reviewed this session. A commonly cited 'homes from the mid-$300,000s' figure appears across third-party listing sites but could not be tied to a single authoritative, dated source, so it was intentionally left unrecorded as a verified value.
