About
Donald Ross designed Miami Shores Golf Club in 1949. Since then, the course has had the front greens renovated in the 70s and the back nine's were updated in the 90s, but the best features of the original design have been carefully preserved. The municipal golf course covers 130 acres but it is seemingly short at just over 6,200 yards, a characteristic of older courses. The classic layout has fairways that are straight and offer some room for error, but there are stands of mature trees situated throughout the course that golfers will have to contend with. If you are used to playing longer, more modern layouts, Miami Shores provides an interesting contrast that is also a challenging but fair test. The course's affordability is also an appealing factor.

Decent Public Course
Average at best. Nothing wrong with this place, but nothing special either.
Tends to get very crowded weekends. Doesnt have cart paths all the way around, so if its rained, back 9 might be swamped as it sits in a levied bowl next to Miami River.
This course is nice, but not as nice as they act like it is. Fun to play, great staff. The food & eating area is really nice. Nice practice green. Pace can drag onnnnnn.
Course fairly well maintained, above average. No real signature hole. Pretty open fairways, nice greens, maintained tee boxes.
This course is squarely in the middle of the pack for Dayton. Worth a 30min drive.
Nice course for the money
Very nice course for the money the staff is super friendly
Greens are bad
The greens were in really bad shape, and was like putting in a sand box... No bueno.
Weather
It rained the two days prior. I respect the idea of no carts on back nine due to water. But overall the course was dry for the timing. No fairway bunkers. Just a few around the greens.
