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.

Horrible experience

I was once a member and no longer after watching the course fall into horrible shape the on course restrooms are disgusting and the locker room is disgusting as well.
The place has some horrible staff members and management is just concerned about volume of play and revenue vs creating a culture that welcomes you and values your business. As a point of reference I played Normandy Shores a week later and night and day the course condition the manner you are welcomed and treated.

Poor condition

I hadn’t played here in about 6 months and it was disappointing. The greens were in bad shape compared to the usual conditions. There were a lot of bare spots. The fairways and tee boxes were decent. About 10 min wait at every hole with no rangers. It wouldn’t pay more than 40 to play there.

Below Expectations

Upon reading google saying “Posh country club, 4.5 stars” I decided to play a round.

The positives: Staff was super friendly and personable. The starter was very pleasant. Second positive was the greens, I loved the fast greens and they rolled true, Of course they weren’t perfect and had ball marks to be repaired etc, but it wasn’t terrible.

The negatives: Course layout is horrid. Each hole is next to the other, The tee box is next to the previous green. Elevated greens were challenging with alot of falls front and run off the back. The elevated greens aren’t a negative, but did make scoring a bit tougher. The range placement is terrible. There were 50+ yellow range balls covering hole 1. And on 9, there’s range balls on the tee box etc. I was concerned to get hit by people on the range spraying left and right, The trains running through the course is unfortunate. 3 trains came blasting through which was whatever. Tough to play on the weekends, they had no carts available and we waited 20 minutes to get a cart before going out, Few carts died out there. Dress code wasn’t enforced, People wearing backwards hats and T-shirts. Really wasn’t the “posh” country club I was expecting.

Maybe this place was different 20-30 years ago, but not a course I would play again.

Excellent Course

Excellent course, with fair difficulties to play, not long holes. The state is very good. The amburgesas in the hole 19 highly recommended. To improve the bunkers, the non-aerated sand is sufficient.
