The Senator Course at Shula's Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
The 18-hole championship course at Don Shula's Golf Club is one of those courses that just seems to get better as you play your way around.
The first few holes are fairly open and not overly difficult. However, things start to get more difficult as you continue. By the time you make it to the 11th green, you'll know that you're in for a real dogfight. The fairways on the back get tight and there's water on just about every hole. All in all, it's a very enjoyable course from start to finish.
There are tennis courts, multiplex, fitness center etc. There’s something for everyone. The hotel's onsite amenities include upscale dining at the Original Shula's Steak House and casual dinning at the Bull Pen, which serves breakfast lunch and light dinner until 7pm.

Very enjoyable course.
After hearing great things I decided to play this course today. I was not disappointed when I arrived because the course looked very well manicured. All of the grass on the fairways was very nice, and all of the sand traps were well taken care of and just the right difficulty for getting out of. I really liked the layout, because it reminded me a lot of TPC HARDING Park in San Francisco, very green and old mature trees all over the place. It had a real classic style layout with very little elevation changes and a few target golf holes. The only thing that really prevents me from rating this a five star course where the greens. Now don’t get me wrong they were nice however they were unbelievably slow. After playing the last two days on very fast greens it was difficult to adjust to. Overall I had a very enjoyable time and definitely would come back. Sidenote, this would be a wonderful course to walk if you were allowed.
PinnacleStaffer,
Thank you for sharing your comments from your round of golf at Shula's Golf Club. We are glad that you enjoyed the layout and playability of the golf course. We had just received a week's worth of rain before you had played, which contributed to the speed of the greens. We are glad that you had a great experience and look forward to seeing you again.
Sincerely,

Spectacular Greens
The front and back nines are vastly different. The front is forgiven and open. The back is tight and filled with penalizing water hazards.
The fairways are mostly okay but a bit patchy. The saving grace would be the greens. They are really wonderful. They are true and smooth. We loved them. It’s a great challenge and we will return!

Value!!
You can't beat this course for the money. 9 easy holes followed by 9 challenging ones.

Very good course to play locally
It's one of the very good courses in the area. The front 9 is more forgiven since it has less water; however, the back 9 has water in every hole. If accuracy if not one of your skills, you should bring extra balls. The course will find ways to bite you. Sand bunkers are very good with a lot of fluffy sands. Greens roll smoothly with plenty of elevation changes. Anyway, it's challenging and fun to play. Recommended!
Dear Fargorito,
Thank you for your review of Shula's Golf Club. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your round of golf with us. Most golfers find the front 9 easier to play than the front because of all the water present on the back 9. We hope to see you soon.

Better each time back
Ive played this coarse several times in the last yr and each time i feel the it has improved. A few times in the past i said to myself that it was disappointing because the greens were patchy, slow and bumpy. But this last time they were in amazing shape. The greens rolled smooth, quick and true. The rest of the coarse was i great condition as well. I will absolutely be back.

Great layout
I’ve being playing this course for a few years now and they have done a great job of keeping it in great condition. Considering that this course doesn’t drain very well, today there were a few wet spots on the back and 90% rule was in effect. The bag drop attendants were very friendly and attentive. Greens were rolling at a good pace and were in great condition. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good test of their game.
