Management should be ashamed of themselves

I’ve been playing Shores intermittently over the last two and a half years and this is by far the worst shape I have seen this course. I thought I was playing Greynolds. $70 for a twilight round and $100 for regular time is ROBBERY for this course. And it’s been in rough shape more than half the season. They have been plagued by some type of fungus the last two years. They had it in pristine condition for a very short amount of time about six months ago. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY on this bunk course. This course has a lots of members which is why the Golf Now reviews don’t talk about how bad this place really is. Management should be arrested for robbing their patrons for this less than poor track.

A walk on n the parc

Beautiful layout with amazing water hazards and trees.

The greens were - for the most part - quite amazing!

The fringes were dead! This was really the most disappointing part of the course.

Tee boxes could’ve been in better shape but did in no way impact the experience negatively.

Figure out how to fix the fringes and I will go out of my way to come back!

Course in less than favorable condition

Range ok, chipping green not good, putting green not good. Pace of play was miserable! Fairways were decent. Many greens w bad areas. Does anyone fix a divot any more! Very over priced for the condition.

Crazy expensive for the quality

Pretty boring layout. Basic. Bunkers fairways and tees are decent. Greens seem diseased. All of them have a chewed patch. They all roll different speeds. The ladies in the clubhouse are pretty grumpy. They were out of coffee by 915am without having a restaurant open. All that for $150. This is a $40 course in Northern California or Texas.

Disappointing Day

Nice layout, was expecting better conditions for the price. Massive dead areas on many of the greens, and many had been resodded around 80-90% of the fringe, meaning that you had to pick up from ground under repair and go to a greenside drop atea to continue play. For $145 I was expecting more. I would consider playing here again if the conditions were better, but not for the price charged.

Took too long

4 hours and 48 minutes with an 8:46 tee time

We found out after the round that they stack the tee times 6 minutes apart.

They have a lot of nerve to charge what they charge and deliver a course that is in terrible shape and plays in Just under 5 hours

I was told the course is closing after the season for major renovations, which are in dire need. It looks like they have checked out from a maintenance perspective.

I won’t go back until the renovations are complete.

Greens are gone

The greens on this course are toast. I would not play here again until the end of March. Hopefully the grass will grow back.

Disappointed...

Played this course frequently when we lived in North Bay Village a few years ago.

Now, visiting friends we really wanted to play at our favorite course!

Now we found it expensive, and the course was in bad shape. Greens and fore green were affected by mould, uneven and full of ball marks... Fairways wasn't good either. Poorly maintained.

There will sadly not be another round at Miami Shores Country Club.

Course is in awful shape

The course hasn't been maintained and is a complete disaster right now. The tee boxes are the best part, in terms of conditioning, and that's saying something because they aren't great either.

Fairways are a mess, but really the biggest disasters are the greens. The greens are putting over sandy divots everywhere, and the fringes are hardpan dirt and dust. Its just not been taken care of and its a joke to charge what they charge for a course in this condition. I would recommend picking any other course.

Fairways & Greens in Rough Shape

The fairways were missing grass in a lot of places. The greens were also missing grass in places. There was a lot of fertilizer on the greens along with sand. Paid $140 pp to play and it was worse than most municipal courses. The staff was very friendly & helpful. The Pro Shop was pretty well stocked. We’ve played Miami Shores before but the conditions were never like this and as nonresidents we paid less than $140 pp. Won’t play this course again.
