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.

Course is in awful shape

The course hasn't been maintained and is a complete disaster right now. The tee boxes are the best part, in terms of conditioning, and that's saying something because they aren't great either.

Fairways are a mess, but really the biggest disasters are the greens. The greens are putting over sandy divots everywhere, and the fringes are hardpan dirt and dust. Its just not been taken care of and its a joke to charge what they charge for a course in this condition. I would recommend picking any other course.

Fairways & Greens in Rough Shape

The fairways were missing grass in a lot of places. The greens were also missing grass in places. There was a lot of fertilizer on the greens along with sand. Paid $140 pp to play and it was worse than most municipal courses. The staff was very friendly & helpful. The Pro Shop was pretty well stocked. We’ve played Miami Shores before but the conditions were never like this and as nonresidents we paid less than $140 pp. Won’t play this course again.

Needs better management

Check in was smooth. Driving range did not open until 1 pm therefore no practice is available for morning tee times. Pace of play was very slow and not monitored even called pro shop to make as request nothing happened. Ball marks are not being filled on greens. The back 9 had better playing conditions compared to the front. Overall 3/10 would not go back and extremely overpriced for the value of the course.

The definition of Mid

Really wanted to like this course. For the price just couldn’t justify coming back. Spend the extra $100 and go to trump national Doral

Pace if play was horrendous. Conditions were okay. It’s a glorified muni.

I don’t think the $90 green fee is justifiable. Greens are not in good shape. Lots of dark and grass-less spots in the greens and fairways. Staff is very kind and course was pretty much empty, so that kind of offsets the not so good course conditions. But definitely wouldn’t pay more than $60 for this course. Would only recommend for beginners or if you just want to be on your own practicing with no one pressuring you behind you or in front.

Great course. Extremely hot in the Summer. Value is good in relation to other expensive courses in Miami.

I liked this course. Everything was in great condition. Staff was fine, didn't do anything above and beyond.

The issue was that they packed this course out to it's absolute capacity. My round took over 5 hours to complete. The weather was also one of the hottest Miami days I've experienced, so I wasn't too happy with that after the round.

Management - you have a great course but if you pack out the course like that, then your patrons will not be pleased with their experience, regardless of the fancy golf carts or the fact that they're playing in a nice neighborhood in Miami.

Golf course was in bad playing condition

The first 9 holes were closed due to flooding. However, some parts of the 11 hole and 18 holes were flooded.
