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
Friendly staff
Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Greens were fast. Unfortunately, pace of play was slow (Sunday). Would play again though.
Great Times
Played for the first time as I’m not from the area and was more than happy! Great shape , layout is ok , Greens a lil slow but nice! Fair and not overly hard!
Tough course in the wind
Play Miami Shores about six times. It is a true test of golf with some very difficult holes, especially if the wind is blowing, the layout is challenging and I enjoy playing it. They do need some more signs as there is some meandering between holes to reach the next Teebox, you really have to pay attention to the greens are in good shape the car girl is nice the driving range and putting green to practice on is excellent and even stays open to hit balls. Leave the most courses.
Overall good experience
Helpful to have a beverage cart on the course and ability to have food delivered, instead of collecting after passing the 9th hole.
Wow
Great course. Tee boxes & green were in great shape. Maybe 2-3 holes were shortened due to water in the fairway. There was a recent deluge of rain (one month amount in 3 days). They were actively draining the mini ponds.
The greens were all elevated. Probably designed that way with flooding in mind. The air was thick with humidity, which shortened distance. Lots of water and it came into play (lay up or else). There was respect for possibility of gators and another player mentioned there was a bull shark (but he could’ve been pulling my leg).
The carts did not have GPS. For $100+ round, gps is basic. But, would recommend. May not play here again bc there are so many courses to try.
First not last
Course , pace of play, was great.
Carts are a little tired.
Disappointed that there was no cart person or gps in the carts, making it a little more difficult to navigate around. Greens are rolling true and around 10.
Got the “deal” special which would line up with regular rack rate for a comparable course back home., maybe that’s why we had the course to ourselves??
