Miami Shores Country Club, hole 13. Photo submitted by TimGavrichGP on 03/25/2019
Nice old course
First time playing here. the course was in great shape. The elevated greens were challenging. Will definitely play again.
Miami Shores Golf Course
Awesome, Greens are is super great shape!!!
Had not played the course in a number of years and it ha become even better than before!!! Among my top preferred in South Miami, a hidden gem ! Right up there with Crandon Links, Miami Beach and Normandy Shores!!!
The Shores
Very very good. Can’t wait to play again. Routing is a little weird but I can overlook because of the rest.
Nice
I love all green are very well care, they are very fast perfect. I will be back next week.
Delightful
It was a delight to play this course. I was looking for a course to play in the Miami area that was in good shape and reasonable and not overly challenging-- I found it: Miami Shores. The course was in great shape, especially the greens which were firm and rolled perfectly. Fairways, tees, traps all in good condition. Some undulation, especially with greens which are pretty much all plateau-like. Iguanas romp around near the waterways and help you find errant shots. Staff was good. Price was good. Highly recommended.
Nice course - Interesting greens
The course is in good conditions, while there were several tees and car paths closed for repairs. Greens are firm, on the fast side, well kept and very true. Bunkers are too compacted.
The layout is not too complicated or difficult. Some uncommon elevations and not a lot of water (3 shots over canals) , for South Florida standards.
The course defenses are the penal rough -with plenty of high St Augustine mixed with Bermuda- and especially the small, elevated and hard greens. It's difficult to hold the approaches. The strategy is to approach in front of the pins and let it roll, unless you have lost of height and backspin..
I found out walking is allowed, so maybe next time.
I think the course's slopes (131/130/129) are higher than the actual difficulty. They were lower before and the design has not changed.
I hit a better than average score, and I have my best score ever in this course, so it should not be that difficult.
I enjoyed this course. It was in great condition and had a pretty good layout - definitely worth the rate if you are playing during the summer. Relatively easy round of 18.
Good course at a reasonable price
As an English man killing my last few days in the US (I was looking for a round or two to squeeze in after spending the week at Trump Doral), I discovered the course on the GolfNow app.
Condition or standard-wise It's no Blue Monster but to be honest, I found it just as enjoyable.
Played from the back tees it presents a slight challenge for a mid to low handicapper and there is some variation. Greens are good (not too tough to read), and the overall condition was fair.
The staff were friendly and welcoming, the food reasonably priced. If it was on a Hot Deal I would play it again (the standard green fee is too high in my opinion).
Good Course
Old, established course, well maintained. I play it every time I visit Miami.
Small greens
Need good iron shots to small greens but birdies are there if U hit them
Flood!
Course was flooded; they should have probably closed, but hey-it beats work!
Good course
Course is playing pretty fair. The fairways are wide enough to stay on them. I was surprised to find the greens in such excellent conditions. I would play there again.
