About
Historic Miami Shores Country Club offers a classic 18-hole championship golf course that is the home of a vast array of sub-tropical wildlife and vegetation. The Club has been host to a number of prestigious events including the Florida State Open.
Celebrities such as Bob Hope, Joe DiMaggio, Arnold Palmer, Sam Snead and Lee Trevino have graced the lush fairways.
The front nine calls for precise approach shots into small well bunkered, contoured greens. The incoming nine calls for well-placed tee shots.
This Red Laurence designed course offers other amenities like a 120 seat lounge with a panoramic view of the golf course and lighted driving range, six clay tennis courts, three hard courts, swimming pool, extra large men's and ladies' locker rooms and a staff that understands the meaning of service.

Miami Shores Country Club, hole 13. Photo submitted by TimGavrichGP on 03/25/2019
Not too good
Greens horrible, conditions poor. No more visits to this one
Great Value Course
One of the better value courses in Miami. Greens can be improved but overall great course.
Nice layout, poor condition
This course always troubles me because it’s a very nice, fun layout but the conditioning is just awful. The greens on the front nine were absolutely awful and combined with being very fast, making it extremely difficult to make a putt. The quality of the greens seem reasonable for a $50-$60 greens fee but for $150 non-resident fee, they are completely out of touch.
Constantly over booked
Never been able to finish the from 9 in less then 3 hrs. Desk service terrible and never willing to provide rain checks when the pace of game is slow due to overbooking.
Underrated Course, must go
Great course, super friendly employees, challenging course layout
Not worth the money
I arrived one hour ahead of my tee time to a closed paradise range, closed putting green, and closed restaurant. I was to tee off at 10:13 and was rushed to the first tee by the starter at 9:30. He told me I need to join the threesome on the tee or he couldn’t guarantee my tee time because there was a “glitch”.
A great pity
My wife and I are currently on vacation in Florida from Germany and are unfortunately a little disappointed with the practices on this golf course.
We were at the golf course almost an hour before the start time and wanted to arrive in peace, warm up and play in on the driving range. Unfortunately, we were denied this by the starter and had to start almost 20 minutes before the actual start time. As soon as we reached hole 2, we realized that the groups in front of us were playing so slowly that we had to wait more than 10 minutes at each hole. Our rhythm of play was gone and without playing in on the range we had already played 6 holes before it started to be fun.
As non-residents, we paid a green fee of 280 dollars, which we felt was far too high for the conditions we were given. Too bad, because otherwise it is quite a nice course. But we regretted playing here.

Course was extremely muddy after rains
Probably should not have opened.
Great Golf Course
The first course that you couldn’t get lost. The fairways and greens were fast. Well maintained golf course.
