Played the Hialeah course on Saturday 7/27 and it wasn't much to remember. The first couple holes are extremely tight with a few other tight holes later in the round. The greens ran true, but were quite firm when chipping onto them. Many of the fairways and rough areas were brown or without grass, which wasn't appealing for a member preview round at this private/resort course, especially for the amount of rain we have had in July. The pace of play was smooth up until the last few holes when we caught a foursome that was content with playing a 5+ hour round.

Overall, it would be unlikely for me to return to this course for the rate I paid (mid $50's) and out of question to join this club at over $4k/year.

Teed off at 2 on a Sunday afternoon, finished at 7:30. Maybe the 5.5 hr round was the random 5-some a few groups in front of us. Maybe it was the fact that this course is a challenge for the average golfer. Or simply it could be due to the fact that it was a nice day and the course was extremely crowded. Whatever the reason was it surely tested my patience. I think on almost every hole we were on the next tee before the group in front of us had teed off.

So if you have a little more patience than I do I would actually recommend this course. The greens were aerated a short time ago so they were slower than I would assume they usually are. This might have been a good thing since these greens have some of the biggest slopes in them that I've ever seen. The rest of the course was in above average for still being April.

Overall I would say the $50 we paid was a good value for this course, just think twice about making plans afterwards if you choose to play here.
