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.

Slow, poor organization,, and not worth the money!

This was our first time to play MSCC. There were no range balls available for warm up. We had arrived early but had to forgo the range beforehand. They were short on carts so we had to wait on getting a cart until it was our turn to head to the first hole. We started 20 min later than our tee time due to poor time management by the starter. There was no ranger keeping groups moving. The course had so many divots it looked like a bomb had exploded on each fairway. We were only able to play 14 or 18 holes in 4.5 hrs. It finally got dark so we’re had to go in prematurely. We had fun playing what we do, but did NOT get our money’s worth!!! Won’t go back!

Service was poor!

No assistance when we arrived at the bag drop-off, no carts available at our time of play, starter was not friendly, no Marshal and the game took 5:20. 2 of our friends had to leave before the end of the game.
However, service at restaurant was pleasant and excellent

Would not recommend this course at 140$ a round.

. Not worth money

This is not a well manage course, took us 5h20 minutes and waited all of the holes really bad service except the reataurant and bar cart.

Waited 20 minutes to start since they did not have enough carts. No bag service, no one to help you once you get there.

Layout

Having a par 3 on 2nd hole creates and instant bottleneck. It does clear up but not a good layout in my opinion.

Sisters golf

We were very happy to play Miami Shores for the third time. It’s a challenging course and we were lucky and had very little rain. I really like the course but the fairways weren’t in very good shape and I’d say the course needs a little tic. We did have a fun round and the greens are very challenging.

Nice course true greens

First time I played here. The bag attendants could have been more helpful but once I was in the cart a great time. The greens rolled quick & true with some very subtle breaks to make it challenging. The fairways in very good condition with a lot of roll. Use the score card map for each hole to know any hazards or how the fairway turns. A couple of blind shots. Great fun and if you play it a second time you should do better.

Beautiful fairways & true greens

The fairways provided a lot of roll. The greens told true with some subtle breaks. On course beverage cart stopped by frequently & staff were friendly. Some blind shots so best to look at each hole layout before teeing off. I was fortunate to have a local telling me where the best places were to approach the green. (Of course I only hit these spots about half the time!) LOL
Definitely recommend and will play again during our vacation.

Pretty good!

We played this morning on a Thursday and had no trouble booking a tee time the night before. $129 per person for non-residents was not bad given the great course conditions. Tees, fairways, bunkers, and greens were all in top shape. Slight wait on the group in front of us, but to be expected as we were a twosome. Every green on the course is elevated, so bring your short game. Layout flat, but enough doglegs and streams in play to keep things interesting Locker rooms had somewhat of a muni feel to them, but had full facilities, including showers. We will play here again!

Not worth the Money

For the rate we paid was not worth it. While tees and fairways were not bad, not the best for that rate. Seems the rate was solely because of name.

Good course, bad pace

The course was in a good conditions. Challenging to play as the greens are all small and elevated. The pace was very slow as we had a 6-some in front of course, following a 5-some. No marshall on site. Also odd that the restaurant closes at 600PM. Too expensive for too much hassle, otherwise a great course.
