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.

Fair at best
Greens were great but the rest was fair at best. Fairways, driving range and club house were poor. I wouldn't play it again. Too many nice courses in the area to play it again.
Ok layout.
Probably nice in its day. Facility is very dated but course was playable and the greens were surprisingly good.
RichPNYNJ,

Great Value - Tough Back Nine
Played this course for the first time. Fairways were clean and greens were moderately fast and true. Front nine was wide and forgiving and the back nine was narrower with a lot more water. We would definitely return.
KenMolvik,
We are glad that you enjoyed the golf course. We hope to see you again very soon.

Super golf course
Great. But challenging course to play. The layout is beautiful and well maintained . The greens roll true with good pace. Nice sand in the bunkers although I don't like to be in them.

We were impressed by the course conditions and the variety it offered from hole to hole.
Staff was not helpful, bordering on indifferent and bathrooms were poorly placed and in abysmal shape. Despite these issues we had an enjoyable round.

Good course and enjoyable day
Course and in particular greens were in very good shape. Fairways leave a bit to be desired with bare spots and sparse coverage in some areas. Tee boxes were not in very good condition nerving more attention and maintenance. It was an enjoyable day with no waiting when we played on Monday morning with a 9:16 tee off time.
