Located in the bustling Miami Lakes neighborhood, Shula's Hotel & Golf Club is a long-standing South Florida destination for visiting golfers, named for the legendary Miami Dolphins football coach. The on-site Shula's Steakhouse has been a destination for years, and the Senator Course at Shula's Golf Club is a convenient place to play.
The real estate in south Florida between Palm Beach and Miami is called the "Gold Coast." Of course, it could also be called the "Golf Coast" for all the superlative courses that it harbors. For those golfers searching for a 24-karat, stay-and-play golf resort, the Gold Coast can certainly provide that mettle. Five stay-and-play venues -- diverse courses, from Trump National Doral Miami to Shula's Hotel & Golf Club -- in particular shine on this coast all year around
There's no shortage of golf courses in south Florida, of course, but what if you're in the heart of Miami and don't feel like driving up to Fort Lauderdale, the Palm Beaches or Jupiter? Miami proper is actually a pretty small area, so there aren't as many public golf offerings in the immediate vicinity as one might think. But there are some quality courses that should be on your short list.
Fall, of course, is for football. But if your team is playing the early game on Sunday -- schedule a morning round and watch the game. Here's a look at the AFC East and where Golf Advisor readers recommend you play.
During fall, football is king in Florida. Before or after the games, there's golf to be played. Luckily, there are some excellent courses situated near some of the state's college football havens.
