the course has great features

If the bathroom and pro shop could be cleaned up and refurbished this course would be great.

Stay on the fairways. Even in the first cut it is very difficult to find your ball.

Not too bad

Enjoyable golf course. Could use just a little more grass in some areas.
The restrooms for the public are too small, like a por-a-potty. And toooooo close to the main eating and bar areas.

Dolphin/Marlin

The staff was friendly, approachable. The courses were a fair challenge; in good shape.

No GPS. With so much water, more help with distances to locate these hazards would be helpful.

Golf midday in mid-August is rough. No cart girl on Monday. I didn't see any water available at the start.

Good course

Course was great, don't often play in Dade county, but for a public course this one is a stand out. Fair layout, well maintained conditions.

Girl in the proshop could use a good firing, personality of sandpaper. Starter was super nice and helpful.

Great shape and fair

The course was in great condition when I played it. It had rained hard before my T-time but the course drained extremely well. The people could not have been nicer and when they learned it was my first time, they drive me to the first tee. A lot of water hazards but if you hit it reasonably straight you should have no worries. I highly recommend you look at the score card before every hole to locate the hazards.

Golfing

The golf course over the years has definitely improved dramatically. Stephanie the Golf Pro has given me lessons which have been extremely helpful. She is a dedicated professional, with lots of experience and her lessons have made a great difference in my game. I would highly recommend her and feel she's an asset to the club.

Kendall Gem

Course is challenging and in great shape. Lots of water in strategic places and more sand than south beach! Greens are back from aerating 3 weeks ago just a little bit of sand on certain greens. Fairways and tee boxes are also in great shape. Carts are gas powered and quick. Great practice areas for chipping, putting, sand game, and driving range. Staff is friendly. A great value for under $35 for 18 holes. I would recommend this course.

Better Options Elsewhere

Aerated the greens and gave no notice to golfers. Staff at desk is surly at best and usually just plain nasty. Course conditions are only fair and maintenance is sliding. Try Key Biscayne (Crandon) or Miami Springs for a much better experience and better golf.

Very rude staff

On the fourth hole we experienced the golf pro (blonde hair from England or Scotland) drive right up to the hazard on the green, which we were still playing, and she proceeded to begin to teach a client how to hit out of the sand trap. We nicely asked her for a little courtesy to at least wait until we finished the hole and her response was, "Drop the attitude, I'm the golf pro." I do not think I will ever play this course again due to this.

From The Beach

This course is well-maintained and a challenging layout. The staff is excellent and available. However, for my wife and myself it was not as enjoyable as some lesser courses because of the sand traps. Every green but two or three is surrounded by sand traps. This would not be so bad if that did not always mean that you have at least an alley to approach the green without having to go over sand. The sand is of excellent quality and is quite fair but too challenging for golfers such as we. It was distracting from the attractive, creative design of the course as a whole. The greens rolled true and were slower than we thought they would be. If you do not mind sharpening your sand play then this will be quite enjoyable because of the quality of the track.

Best value in town.

Starting out with the one minor complaint. It seems they work so hard to keep the greens in outstanding shape, they neglect the fairways a little. A few areas are spotty, but playable.

All three nines at this course are challenging and any two makes for a great round. The Dolphin/Marlin combo is the best in my opinion as the Barracuda is a little tricky, i.e., forced layups and hidden water hazards.

As I mentioned, the greens are awesome and have some tricky breaks. Sand traps are in good shape and the tee boxes are good as well. Great value for the money.
