The Senator Course at Shula's Golf Club
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.

Unsatisfying
Too many people squeezed onto the course. A Saturday afternoon and there would be three foursomes waiting to tee off on a single hole.
Très beau terrain, service au bag dropt super. Rien à redire.
Avons apprécié jouer sur ce terrain.super service sur tout.
Great Greens
This course has been slowly deteriorating from its one time must play status. However, we were pleasantly surprised to see it looking pretty good. The greens were outstanding! Fairways were a bit rough. It was a great value round for $35 at 7am.
Nice track
The course was in great shape. Especially the greens. The staff was friendly and organized.
The Back 9 is Serious!!!
For some reason I really enjoy playing the Senator course because it really tests every aspect of your game from the short game, to your Driving distance and even your putting skills. The seventh hole is a Par 5 with an island green which really tests the big sticks in your bag. And when you make the turn get ready to step up your game because there's more water back there than fairways. This course is really fun to play.
no course management
teed of at 1:45 pm
It took almost 5 hours to play
No one over seeing the course and no one making
sure players are matched up to make foursomes
Good value but long day
Got a great deal, under $40 for a 10am time with range balls included. Got there early and was ready by 9:55 to tee off. 4 times ahead of us were backed up as they scheduled too many slots. We didn't tee till almost 11 and finished by 3:30. It was a long day, getting there at 9am. It gets you out of rhythm having to wait for every shot. I expected better, as we really haven't had many problems in the past. The course was in good shape though and the pins were tough which made it a good mental test.
nice course overcrowded
Beautiful course in nice condition but it was the day before Easter so it was packed. It took 5 hours and 15 minutes to play. Other than the pace it is a really tough but enjoyable course. The price was very low considering the quantity of this course. I will try it again soon.
Good Course
Overall really good. Fairways were dry in some parts but greens were amazing
Always a pleasant day here.
Staff and help are super friendly and helpful. Course needs some work, but until the springs rains start it will be dry with semi-barren spots.
Great Course at a Great rate
Course was in great shape. Had nothing to complain about it. Our only negative was that the beverage cart never came out, it was a beautiful but scorching hot day.
worth $70.00 but no more
Front 9 is fine. Good holes, greens good as well. Back 9 is non-discript, except 17 & 18. Flat, fairways in poor condition, traps are terrible. Pace of play was bad as well. There were numerous twosomes out there - terrible.
this course has nothing to recommend
bad staff attitude - only talked to themselves, no help at all. pro shop uninterested in helping, and then the course. Don't waste a cent here, you are better off going to a driving range and practicing,; the only thing worth a mention is the greens - pretty good...
Never again will i visit, play or refer....
Good game with some waiting at holes
Course is in fair condition, some fairways could need a little work. Back nine are beautiful, but somewhat challenging with water around everywhere. Back nine much nicer that front nine.
Very nice greens
Nice course but fairways were a little thin. Greens over all were in good condition. Staff were very helpful.
Great Greens, course condition just ok.
The greens were fast and true. The rest of the course was not in the greatest of shape.
Greens nice. Pace terrible.
Pace to start was frightening. Got better but still was really bad. Bad enough to effect performance, at least for me. Did not eat any food. Greens were in good shape & not as difficult as I've found some other courses in the area. Back 9 more difficult with more water in play. No GPS on carts.
Nice course
Had a really nice round of golf - very good conditions, fast greens and a nice layout
Classic Florida Golf
Course in great shape even if they spray paint the greens. Cart path only on the back nine after rain the day before. Water on the back nine looks great and makes you pay attention to what you are doing. Would play it again without hesitation.
very nice
Loved the view of the back nine~^^ water makes it even more exciting ~
