Pace of Play

Only down fall was the wait time on every T box.

Need a marshal to instruct some groups to keep up to group in front.

Tee time was not observed. 1/2 behind tee time and line up on most holes. Ranger couldn't care less. Course is fine and worth the money we paid.

c green

Fun old school Florida course. Has some elevation changes which is a nice feature for courses in the area. Layout was good, but the conditioning was truly outstanding. Some of the nicest greens I have ever putted. Even better than Doral. They were smooth, true and very fast. A joy to experience. The staff was also very accommodating and friendly. I highly recommend Miami Shores!

My favorite hole was #13, a really fun Par 5.

Note: regardless of the pin position, play to the middle of the green. They are small and elevated, so even if you are just a fraction off with your approach you will be faced with a testy shot. And when dealing with greens this fast, you are always best to play it safe.

A nice course, with pace-of-play issues

A nice traditional Miami course and club. Good practice facilities, and a friendly staff. The course is a very traditional Florida track, plays fair from tee to green, and the greens were in excellent shape (fast and true). The pace-of-play on the front side was close to unbearable; at the time I thought this might be a six-hour round. Apparently, many local players (and I did observe many as somewhat elderly) left after nine. Playing the back nine was a VERY nice golf experience.

I went back to the driving range for a little more practice and tuning-up. Overlooking the range is the club restaurant. Beautiful floor to ceiling windows. I just wish I had more time .

Beauty Old School

Great old school course with immaculate greens. Off the tee the course is pretty forgiving with no OB/houses on course. Crowned greens so difficult holding balls on the green (always play front edge FYI) but once you are there let the fun begin. Beautiful trees and scenery, 2 trains passed during the round. Def recommend to anyone especially with a hot deal. Mk.

Decent track but ran poorly

I'm from CA and decided to play this course in the area. Initial thoughts were this was definitely an old county club layout which I like but ran poorly. I called previous day to ask about clubs they rent and was told brand new Taylor made and they would have a stiff steel set. Well when I showed up, clubs were definitely not new and did not offer what was promised. Ended up playing with a RBZ Graphite Reg Set which was disappointing since I called. When talking to staff, most seem uninterested players coming to golf and just didn't have that approachable friendly vibe. Overall, I'd recommend the club with your own clubs and don't expect the extra frills that make you appreciate certain clubs and staff members.

Greens hard to hold. great old Florida trees flank fairways

The greens at this course are on the small side and almost always elevated. They are hard to hold unless the approach shot has a lot of loft, which isn't always easy playing from the blues if you aren't a really long driver. The rough is thicker than at most courses so there is a definite penalty for missing the fairway. I just wish there were more water hazards on the course to make it a little more challenging. Love the old Florida trees flanking many of the fairways

Nice but too slow.

The course is nice although the layout is cumbersome to say the least. Finding the next tee is often times a task in itself.

We happened to have a foursome ahead of us, one of which was a terrible beginner taking several mulligans in each tee. Not funny

Nice old school layout--Good conditions

1st time playing this course--buddies recommended it so I figured why not--paid the So FL Resident rate which is fair for 9am on a Saturday morning. Course conditions were good, not immaculate but well kept considering how much traffic the course gets. It's an old-school layout, on the shorter side but has plenty of penalties . The course will keep you thinking off the tee and the greens have plenty of slope to keep you interested. Would play again--feel like I left some shots out there and I want a rematch! Hit em straight and Happy Holidays!

Why not to play Miami Shores

The course is always in great shape but pace of play is always 5 hours. I was member and let my membership go because you pay to belong to a club that allows everybody and their brother out.

I have gone back twice in the year since my memebership expired and both times walked off because of pace of.

Has potential

Possibly a better coarse but not doing my visit just days after the rain. Crs & cart paths flooded, difficult to find altered routes. Personnel assistance poor. Food & snacks unavailable until 11am. No food carts nor water available along the crs.
