Comprised of two Robert Trent Jones designed courses, history abounds at the Country Club of Miami. We're not name dropping, but Arnold Palmer was the club's first professional when the club opened in 1961. The club was also home to "The Great One," Jackie Gleason, who often played host to celebrities such as Bob Hope and Bing Crosby. The East is n... More

At over 7000 yards from the back tees, the West is the big brother of the two with "treacherous" bunkers and slick greens. You'll be able to rear back and rip it on many holes as this layout provides rolling, lush Bermuda fairways that can only be found in South Florida. In addition, the club boasts a spacious restaurant and a new practice facility... More

One of the resort's older courses has been completely renovated (February 2000) by Greg Norman. The new "Great White" Course, primarily landscaped with tightly packed coquina sand, is the only "desert-scaped" golf course of it's kind in the Southeastern United States. The course has the only triple green in South Florida; holes 11,13 and 17 share a... More

Originally built in 1962, and renovated in 1987, the Red course provides the resort guest with beauty, and challenges them without the length of the Blue or the water of the Gold course. The signature holes wind picturesquely around a man made lake that forces the golfer to think about placement rather than "driving for show". The Red course is als... More

Originally built in 1984, designed by Bruce Devlin/Bob van Hagge, the Silver course was recently renovated by Jerry Pate. The state-of-the-art greens, tees and irrigation system makes it one of the most challenging courses at Doral Golf Resort & Spa.

Even if you're staying in Ft. Lauderdale, take the drive south for a round on the International Links Miami.

Jacaranda Golf Club completed a major renovation project on their two courses over the summers of 2005 and 2006 including installation of new irrigation, cart paths, and Sea Dwarf Paspalum tees and fairways. Well known architect, Bobby Weed, was brought in to basically rebuild both original Mark Mahannah designs from the ground up. Completed in 200... More

As noted in the description for the East course, Bobby Weed was brought in to update the two courses at Jacaranda. The East was completed in 2005 and the West was ready for play in late 2006. Although the two layouts at Jacaranda are built over similar terrain, they play quite a bit differently from tee to green. The West is more exacting than the ... More
