Miami Shores Country Club

The course is in good condition ✅
The greens are in excellent condition ✅
The restaurant is modern with good food and cold delicious drinks ✅

What separates this course from the rest is the staff. They have the friendliest most helpful group of folks that I’ve encountered on any golf course.

It has been a long time dince I last played this vourse. Fortunately it was in good vondition and enjoyable to play with family

Traffic in the area is horrible. No beverage cart.

However the pace is slow (took 5 hours). The fairways and green are in very good condition. The greens are very fast. I don’t like though to crisscross fairways to go on the next hole. One cross in the middle of a fairway and you could be hit by a ball.

The course is excellent in challenge, ambiance and overall condition. The layout of hole sequence leaves something to be desired with carts scattered all over, #2 also enroute to 13, 9 nowhere near 8, that’s the idea of layout. Staff overall very good but service sometimes lacking. They charge $6.00 for tipping that they secured from my wife while I was making a call. I always refuse this because on average $10.00 is given to their staff. When bringing this to the golf shops attention they said it would be waived next time. But they asked for the money in cash. So, the request was made to refund for yesterday’s round. The staff member then got technical and asked me for the receipt after which he refunded the money. After the round no one was available to wipe down the clubs and assist bringing the clubs to the car. And, that’s the point. You don’t get anything for nothing. Starter got $5.00 bucks but no one else lifted a finger!

Small elevated greens had to approach green with high ball flights, greens were very fast.

Sorry guys but you overbooked the course…5 hrs later I finished…rangers useless..my partners quit. I only stayed because I had nowhere else to go. Now on the positive side it is an old school layout that has been modernized. The greens were some of the purest I have ever putt . The layout of holes is typically is easy to drive and very wide-open. Most greens were raised with bunkering‘s either left or right or both. It’s starting to get a bit monotonous and it’s definitely a course that favors someone who can draw the ball. Some of the Par 3s are pretty interesting. It’s not long from blue tees…. It has a small driving range outside the clubhouse. But it does have some excellent practice greens and chipping area. Staff was friendly and helpful…well not if you’re a ranger…Look they realized it was the middle of February and they need to get all the money they can from the tourists. But let’s face it after my original partners left I got paired up with two guys who basically shot 10 on every hole. No way am I gonna play in under five hours with people like that…. Can’t we get a handicap System going rather than may have to suffer through people who basically don’t know the rules or the etiquette of the game.

Worst pace of play here in Florida.
First and last time ever playing this track.
The front 9 took us just under 4 hours. The course was over booked… at one point the first par three there were literally groups of players lined up waiting to tee off.
The only hole that ran well was the first.
Didn’t even end up playing the full course bc the pace was so slow and backed up.
I called the club house to complain and the lady working was rude and told me that’s just the pace of play during “high season”.

Definitely a terrible experience!
I highly do not recommend this track!

It’s too bad that they jam waaaay too many golfers on this course. The course is good and the greens are fast and fun but after 2 rounds this week, we will not go back. Start groups every 5 minutes and staff are indifferent about pace of play. We quit after a 2 hour and 36 minute front nine. Waited for 10 minutes on every hole just for the group ahead of us to tee off.
