Two tracks in one

The Senator golf course is two tracks in one. The front nine is dry, with no water to penalize your off line shots.
It has firm fairways and large greens with not too many bunkers protecting them. Contrary to the back nine the front nine has a few more birdie holes. Example: 2, 5, 6 and 8. On the flip side the back nine has more water coming into play on both sides of the wide fairways but still has a few birdie holes and reachable par fours.
The fairways are a lot softer and moist due to more water surrounding the fairways, therefore the ball is not going to run or bounce longer than it did in the front nine. The back nine used to be an Audubon society sanctuary, but due to some storms was taken off the list.
The par three hole number 13 is a real pro hole. Elevated green, large bunker front and left very undulated green with false front and back left that will feed your short or left shots off the green, did I mention that is long. Maybe one of the most challenging par threes in Miami Fl.
When its windy is plays even more challenging due to the fact that the greens (90 %) roll from back to front and if hit your shot long to the back, you are in for a fast ride downhill. All in all I love this track. The greens are some of the best rolling and true greens in Miami.

u368544004,

Thank you for reviewing Shula's Golf Club. Our locals would all agree with you in that the back 9 is more challenging than the front 9. Water is present on 7 of the 9 holes on the back. Conditions tend to be softer this time of year due to the amount of rainfall we receive in the summer months. We are glad that you enjoy the course and look forward to seeing you again very soon.

Regards,

Shula's Golf Club

Historic Challenge

From Abe Mitchell the 1924 winner of the Miami Open to Sam Snead, the last winner (his fifth) in 1955 this friendly course has 60 year old greens that still challenge the best shots. Sloping from back to front, very well bunkered, including one of the longest par threes in all of South Florida, the 12th hole measuring 248 from the tips, Miami Springs is not very penalizing yet its long for the mid handicapper. With ample fairways and recently refurbished sand traps. The 19th hole has great food and cold beer always on tap. Bottom line, a great experience awaits you at the Home of the Miami Open, Miami Springs Golf Course.
