About
The Country Club of Miami, located near residential areas, boasts two courses, the East Course and the West Course. Both golf courses at the club have seen many famous players including Jackie Gleason, Bob Hope, and Jack Nicklaus. The West Course features rolling greens as well as many strategically placed bunkers. Water hazards also come into play on a few holes. The course is very well maintained and provides a good game for players of any skill level. Conveniently, the golf club has a large pitting, putting, and chipping area where golfers can work on their short game and there is also a grass driving range.

Played East not West
Pace of play could be better. Played front 9 with 3 gentlemen who were fairly slow. I like to play at a faster pace. They dropped off for lunch after the front 9. Caught up with a group of 4 who did not seem to want to let me play through as a single. I did go around them and caught up with others who I joined. Pace of play picked up then.
Good cart paths
The best thing I can say about this course is they have nice cart paths. The rest of the course is very bad the are very slow the fairways roll faster than the greens, because there is nothing there. Don’t waste your time
Great history and challenging layout.
Water and sand galore. Pace of play was good and everyone was friendly. Burger and beer afterwards was delicious. However the sand was thin in the traps and grass was rough in places. The course was priced accordingly and so it was all good. A great day on the course.
Headed in the right direction
The West course is way better now compared to some months ago. Since the renovations, the greens are good, for the most part. A couple still have uneven patches, but you can tell they haven't fully recovered. Greens were VERY slow, but that's to be expected for now. Unlike a previous comment, the staff was and has always been professional and friendly in my experiences.
Overall I'm happy with the ongoing improvements and look forward to playing again once the greens have fully recovered.
Staff Unprofessional
The staff was super unprofessional and not helpful. We paid for 18 holes at 2:50 tee time thinking we had until sunset like every other course in south Florida! Which is 6:30 PM. Plenty of time to finish but around 5:10 PM with an hour and some time left for sunset the cart guy starts picking up the flags saying we have to be off by 5:20 because that’s there closing time. However the staff in clubhouse never mentioned the time before we paid for 18 holes and when we went back to atleast get half our money back they stated they couldn’t because that’s their policy that isn’t disclosed anywhere! Apart from this we’ve played once before and they were super rude as well.
Ok for a $40 Course
Waited in line 30 minutes to check in. Sanford was alone working the desk, and was slow and rude. Course was ok only because I got a hot deal for $40. Would NOT pay any more than that for this place. They did let me walk instead of a cart so that was a bonus. I recommend this course if paying less than $45/round.
Rough
The greens were rolling at a 2, and the course was beat up. This place has so much potential, as the layoff can be challenging. Aesthetically speaking, it’s rough.
Will be back
New green seeding is filling in and the groundskeeper has begun mowing them.
