Viera East Golf Club Architect

World renowned golf course designer Joe Lee has been described as the epitome of a southern gentleman.  As a Florida native Joe Lee designed, co-designed or renovated more than 250 courses, including 80 right here in the Sunshine State.  His trademark designs consist of undulating greens, strategically located visible hazards and unique bunkering.  No bells, no whistles, no gimmicks!  Thoroughly challenging yet easy on the eyes and easy to get around.

"Gentleman" Joe Lee built his career in golf architecture through hard work and dedication.  Never one to self promote he let his clients and golfers do the talking. His designs followed the simple philosophies that "golf is a sport to be enjoyed.  The designer should not make it a life and death struggle." and "A successful course should be fun for a beginner as well as challenging for a seasoned pro."

"I start with the premise that golf should be enjoyable, not a chore."  "Golfers want a challenge, but they want a fair one."  Joe Lee

"Joe Lee has never built a bad golf course."     Jack Nicklaus
