Miami Shores Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Donald Ross designed Miami Shores Golf Club in 1949. Since then, the course has had the front greens renovated in the 70s and the back nine's were updated in the 90s, but the best features of the original design have been carefully preserved. The municipal golf course covers 130 acres but it is seemingly short at just over 6,200 yards, a characteristic of older courses. The classic layout has fairways that are straight and offer some room for error, but there are stands of mature trees situated throughout the course that golfers will have to contend with. If you are used to playing longer, more modern layouts, Miami Shores provides an interesting contrast that is also a challenging but fair test. The course's affordability is also an appealing factor.

Nice round, just slow
Other than poor pace of play, really enjoyed the round. Course is in the best shape I've seen it. Bring the bug spray though - got totally eaten up along 8 and 9.
Donald Ross
Many people don’t realize that Donald Toss designed this course. Not really noticeable because it doesn’t have raised greens like many of his classic courses. Troy does a good job with this course.
Nice course
I would recommend this course for a fairly easy course but very relaxing. In good condition and not a lot of hazards.
Nice course
Good course for the money. Not to difficult but challenging enough. Two thumbs up !!
