Rating 71.2

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.

Friendly staff, great day out

A great course with some of the friendliest staff we have encountered. Word of warning, check the directions before heading off if you are using Google Maps as they have the location, by name, in the middle of the ports area. Once we put in 10000 Biscayne Boulevard all was good.

We got there late and then realised one of us had not packed our shoes, the pro was awesome and offered to lend us some if we didn't want to buy some.

The course is lovely and well maintained. Being a two we had caught up to those in front by the ninth and the next nine would have been slow, we asked if we could replay the first nine and they said that was fine, nothing was a problem at all.

A thoroughly enjoyable experience

Best Greens in South Florida

I took my foursome out to Miami Shores Country Club becuase we had heard that their greens were in good shape. I'd like to say that morning they were in the best shape I had ever played. They were fast and running true! The tee boxes have always been good and the rough was tough. I booked for the following week on Monday. You have to check out the course!!

Dated

Course not in great shape and lots of distractions with railroad running thru the course. Maintenance is spotty. No cart services. Worst of all, course is expensive, which is amazing as carts do not have GPS as do nearby courses with better maintenance and services. Even bag drop is unreliable. What are they thinking?

4 hours of sunshine

The course has a nice layout with some variation on the holes, takes some strategy and some hardhitting to score well. Thats the good point. The generall condition on the course is the downside. It's like hitting from dirt on the fairways and the greens... dont even wanna go there, for me Florida is thick grass, like a rug... on this course, not even close. Save your money and go somewhere else or play the course for the layout! :)

Nice Course, good pace of play,

Course is in good shape, pace of play is good; lacks on course beverage cart. nice practice facility too; should advertise it.

Golf Now should share their Booking Fees at the outset; still a decent price but tell me up front.

Great course and would definitely play it again.

This was the first I played this course as I was visiting the area. The course was in very good condition. The service was good and and I would not hesitate to play it again when I'm in the area. One aspect that was unique about this course was that train tracks run through the course. It was not an issue as only a couple of trains passed through while I played.
