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.

Slow

We left after 4 1/2 hours and still had 4 to play. Not a good place for pace. Condition was decent but not as good as some of the neighboring courses

Slow, poor organization,, and not worth the money!

This was our first time to play MSCC. There were no range balls available for warm up. We had arrived early but had to forgo the range beforehand. They were short on carts so we had to wait on getting a cart until it was our turn to head to the first hole. We started 20 min later than our tee time due to poor time management by the starter. There was no ranger keeping groups moving. The course had so many divots it looked like a bomb had exploded on each fairway. We were only able to play 14 or 18 holes in 4.5 hrs. It finally got dark so we’re had to go in prematurely. We had fun playing what we do, but did NOT get our money’s worth!!! Won’t go back!

Service was poor!

No assistance when we arrived at the bag drop-off, no carts available at our time of play, starter was not friendly, no Marshal and the game took 5:20. 2 of our friends had to leave before the end of the game.

However, service at restaurant was pleasant and excellent

Would not recommend this course at 140$ a round.

. Not worth money

This is not a well manage course, took us 5h20 minutes and waited all of the holes really bad service except the reataurant and bar cart.

Waited 20 minutes to start since they did not have enough carts. No bag service, no one to help you once you get there.

Layout

Having a par 3 on 2nd hole creates and instant bottleneck. It does clear up but not a good layout in my opinion.

Tough course in the wind

Play Miami Shores about six times. It is a true test of golf with some very difficult holes, especially if the wind is blowing, the layout is challenging and I enjoy playing it. They do need some more signs as there is some meandering between holes to reach the next Teebox, you really have to pay attention to the greens are in good shape the car girl is nice the driving range and putting green to practice on is excellent and even stays open to hit balls. Leave the most courses.
