The Biltmore Golf Course in Coral Gables sits next to the beautiful hotel, an architectural masterpiece that was modeled after the Giralda Tower in Seville, Spain. Donald Ross designed the course in 1925 and the traditional layout has retained all of its original character. The golf course weaves through a series of canals that used to carry guests along in gondolas. The canals run alongside the lush fairways while towering banyan trees frame the elevated greens. Offering views of the historic hotel from nearly every hole, there are carts available but the golf course is worth the walk. The layout is popular not only for its historic scenery and verdant setting, but also for its playability. Over the years the Biltmore has been host to a number of professional golfers and celebrities ranging from Babe Ruth to Tiger Woods.

Gables Gem

I’ve played many times as I’m a resident of the city. Maintenance of the course is above average for a public course.

I’ve seen work done to the course over a long period of time and it’s at its best now.

Recommend to anyone due to the course being challenging and the beauty of Coral Gables.

First Time Playing

Didn’t meet expectations

Played as a two-some on a Sunday afternoon while visiting on vacation. Knew that we would occasionally have to wait at the tee box for groups ahead because we were only a two-some playing behind a group of 4. However, it got very tough on the back 9 as many groups started to slow down, no one monitoring the pace of play and we ended up waiting at the 12th tee box for about 40 minutes for groups to clear!

This was extremely frustrating because they didn’t even have a Marshal on the course to keep up pace of play. We were expecting to finish in 4 hours and 20 minutes (normal 18-hole pace), but had we not complained and gotten the Marshal to come out to the course, it would’ve taken nearly 6 hours to finish the round!

To not already have a Marshal on the course during a Sunday afternoon shows that this course does NOT care about their guests’ time and the amount of money people are willing to spend to play here. Overall this experience was not at all worth the outrageous

2x times the regular greens fee we were charged as a non-Florida resident and would highly advise that you play somewhere else!
