Historic Miami Shores Country Club offers a classic 18-hole championship golf course that is the home of a vast array of sub-tropical wildlife and vegetation. The Club has been host to a number of prestigious events including the Florida State Open.

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.

This Red Laurence designed course offers other amenities like a 120 seat lounge with a panoramic view of the golf course and lighted driving range, six clay tennis courts, three hard courts, swimming pool, extra large men's and ladies' locker rooms and a staff that understands the meaning of service.

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.

Wow !

Ive played about a dozen courses in Miami around this price range and none compare to the great service, staff friendliness and Course conditions I encountered at Miami Shores. The greens are really fast and are elevated making it challenging in a good way.I would recommend this great experience to all golfers looking for a great time. Also theres a dining room and bar over looking the driving range which is a really cool view. I will definitly be playing this course again.

course is good but pairing was horrible

My 1 handicap son and I (handicap 12) decided to play last Sunday. The starter did not even ask how we played and paired us with a couple who we believe were entering the course for the first time. We had to stop on the 9th hole because there was no reason to continue. What was suppose to be a nice family event turned out a real nightmare. They should be more careful with the pairing. Other than that the course was nice. Too bad we did not had a chance to see the back nine..

Better with experience!

Enjoy this course which is always recommended by my sister. It would have been nice if staff monitored pace of play as well as starting time and use of golf carts before the start. The slow players ahead of us could not have been more apologetic but nevertheless the 4.5 hr round could have been finished in 4. If. you know about the trains that pass through and can concentrate... this course is usually fair and interesting.

Great course to enjoy

Please fix your ball marks, fairway divots and walk softly on the greens. The greens roll true and the grass is lovely so please keep it that way for others.

I seen the transformation of this course during last years. Never been better conditions than now.

Probably after Irma hurricane the course is kind of more open due the trees removed. Tees are perfect and greens rolling and in good shape. Is a gem in south Florida. Staff are great the strive to give you good service. From Pro Shop to the restaurant.

Very Poor Condition of Golf Course

Played this golf course today after noon. Although the pace of play was excellent, but the course is in a very poor condition. The front 9 is technically unplayable, with heavy waterlogging in the fair ways. On top people have driven their golf carts on the wet fairways turning them into a veritable mess. I counted 7 fairways that are heavily waterlogged and in very poor condition. I would not recommend anyone to play this golf course till it is fixed. For the price I paid, Jacaranda or Hollybrook or Plantation Preserve are way better golf courses.

Stay away from this golf course!
