The Senator Course at Shula's Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
The 18-hole championship course at Don Shula's Golf Club is one of those courses that just seems to get better as you play your way around.
The first few holes are fairly open and not overly difficult. However, things start to get more difficult as you continue. By the time you make it to the 11th green, you'll know that you're in for a real dogfight. The fairways on the back get tight and there's water on just about every hole. All in all, it's a very enjoyable course from start to finish.
There are tennis courts, multiplex, fitness center etc. There’s something for everyone. The hotel's onsite amenities include upscale dining at the Original Shula's Steak House and casual dinning at the Bull Pen, which serves breakfast lunch and light dinner until 7pm.

This is one of my favorites
This golf course is a delight to play. Management should consider returning ball washes at each tee box.

Great value. $40 for the round. Greens were a little slow for Florida but well maintained. Back nine has plenty of water to challenge. Definitely recommend this course!
u934661615,
Thank you for your review of Shula's Golf Club. We are glad that you found great value in the course. There is water that comes in to play on 7 of 9 holes on the back. It can be very challenging. We hope to see you again.

Shula's Golf Club
Much like Coach Shula
Much like Coach Shula, the place is old school...in a good way. Reportedly built in the 1950s, the course's true sense of history and longtime durability is hard to miss. A lot of fun...the greens have a lot of character.
AKFooFighter,
Thank you for your review of Shula's Golf Club. The golf course opened in 1963. The layout has changed some over the years through re-design and by mother nature (hurricanes.) We are glad that you enjoyed the course. We hope to see you again soon.

Slow slow
Round took over 5 hours. No ranger to speed up people. College team played in front of us. Appalling slow. Guess they thought their next time out would be on the tour. Their golf etiquette was awful.
Played in 2:50
First group out after a tournament. That was awesome. Played in 2:50. Problem was there was a 30mph wind. Course was really nice. Love to play it again.
Jack9923502,
Thank you for your review of Shula's Golf Club. Sounds like you played after the last round of the women's college tournament. Tough playing conditions that day with the wind. Course is still in great shape. Hope to see you soon.

My favorite course in Dade County. I play it all the time and always enjoy the shape that it's in. The greens are always in great condition and challenging.

Always entertaining to play this track
This course is always in good condition. Challenging whether you play gold or black tees. Friendly staff and always look forward to playing here. If fellow golfers would fill their divots and repair the ball marks this course would really be pristine. For those golfers who don't know, they should always leave the course in better shape when they arrived.

Thank you for your review of Shula's Golf Club. We are glad that you find the course challenging and staff friendly. We couldn't agree more with your view of course etiquette. We will continue to remind all players to fill in their divots with the sand provided and to repair pitch marks on the green. We look forward to seeing you again very soon.
Sincerely,

Hard back nine
Hard golf course lots of water hazards, challenging back nine course was well kept.
uVKUJ8099VK,
Thank you for your review of Shula's Golf Club. Most of our regulars agree with you in that the Back 9 is very challenging and much harder than the front. Most of these golfers have opted to play from our combo gold/white tees so that the harder holes on the back nine play shorter. We are happy to hear that you found the course to be well kept. We hope to see you again very soon.
Sincerely,
Shula's Golf Club
Great location

Enjoyable Course, Water Hazards Heavy
I work right down the street from this course and have wanted to play it since moving down to the Miami area. I enjoyed the layout and found the conditions to be better than I imagined considering the price. Lots of water hazards which can be frustrating, but that's part of the game I suppose. Will definitely be back.
Play Here!
Like most I am an avid GolfNow user. I read through the reviews and see what the people say about the course then go. I was somewhat hesitant about Don Shula's course at first then I just went. I am so glad I did. I will definitely be back. I played in the afternoon so might have made a difference as far as having to wait for members which I would've been ticked if I had to wait. Afternoon was smooth and the course was in great condition. Plenty of grass and a great time! Play here you won't be disappointed.
