Celebrities such as Bob Hope, Joe DiMaggio, Arnold Palmer, Sam Snead and Lee Trevino have graced the lush fairways.

The front nine calls for precise approach shots into small well bunkered, contoured greens. The incoming nine calls for well-placed tee shots.

Respect?

Still great greens.

I like the course because you can drive often and it's one of the pleasure of playing golf.

My complaint is that there was no marshall on duty and the group in front of us was slow and had no respect for us. For example, one of the guys was regularly practicing his putts after the completion of the hole even if we were waiting to hit. They seem to have a match and were good golfers. I am a good golfer but I don't act like that.

Only if you get a good deal

Course was average. Good layout....greens were in solid shape but everywhere else was a little rough. Tee boxes were a little torn up....fairways were ok at best....i’m not a grass expect but much of the rough was (i think) zoisia which i’ve only seen on lower quality courses. I got a hot deal for $44 and thought that was a fair and reasonable price. If it costs any more than that I’d recommend you find another course....$80/$90 is waaayyy overpriced

Great value for your money

I played this course 4 times in March 2017. Either it was spared during the last hurricane season or the staff did a real good job getting it back in great shape as the course looks as good as 12 months ago. Not many bunkers and water hazards make this course friendly to the average golfer like myself. Great value for your money especially if you can grab the daily hot deal.

Great course But...

Great course.

But you come second to existing members that belong to the club. I don’t have a problem with that , I have a problem when they try to fit a foursome in front that where not scheduled for tee and it and that particular day they where extremely slow and are group did not get to finish the round due to daylight.

The starter was not courteous and kept pushing our tee time forward.

Other than that it is a great course .

Nice course, good value

Played here twice when visiting from out of town. Had a really good experience both times. Negatives are no ocean views, and the layout is a little confusing at points. But the course is in great shape and the staff is really nice. Course is fun but not overly challenging. I also appreciated the option to rent both clubs and shoes. Would definitely play here again.

Fine course.

3th time there in the last 2 years.

Best conditions I have had.

Perfect greens.

Partners a little slow but fine people.

One stupid pin placement.

I like the layout.

It doesn't take away your driver.

Good Value for the area

Booked for about $60.00 which for this course and area so close to Miami , I would consider a good value. Nice driving range , helpful friendly staff resulted in good day of golf. Course in great shape, greens were very smooth and true. All raised greens that were shaved to make it tough to keep approach shot on green. A lot of fun especially with a little wind keeping you guessing. Surprisingly pace of play was good little over 4 hours for 18 holes on a Saturday!! I had been concerned as other reviews were critical of slow play, I played at 1:30 pm paired w two others and only waited on a couple holes. I would recommend as great choice when trying to find good course this close to Miami and reasonable price.

My wife and I are 20 handicappers. I played the senior tees and thought they were very fair. Fairways and greens in great shape. Thoroughly enjoyed the course. Great value for the price.

Miami Shore's Nice

Played Miami Shores on a Sunday with a delightful couple from Iceland. Course is in good shape, but pace of play was glacial at times. Not surprising on a weekend given the number of people trying to squeeze in a round before the Super Bowl. Saw some huge iguanas along the way, and enjoyed the layout. Would be interesting to return on a weekday to compare pace of play.

One of Best in Dade

Greens in excellent condition. Tee boxes and fairways are average. We had an 11:00 tee time on a Wednesday. No carts available so we were delayed starting. Alot of couples and beginners so pace of play very slow. No beverage cart the entire day - how can that happen? 85 degrees and course is packed..what a loss of revenue for the place. Despite this, one of the best values in Dade county.

Great Track

Course was in good condition, the greens were running about a 12 and you really have to navigate your way around the course and hit quality shots to score. Enjoyed the layout and looking forward to playing it again.
