GOLFING OPTIONS ON MIAMI BEACH

A lot of Miami Beach and Miami new home buyers always ask about golfing here in the area. Many of them already have their golfing routine they would like to continue to keep themselves in golfing shape. Some like to get out early before work a couple of time a week and hit balls at the golf range to work on their swing. Others, like to try to get in 9 holes early, then head out to work, getting ready to play a full round on the weekend. Most try to make friends with others they eventually meet who have the same routine as them and try to get into their group of friends who like to play. Miami Beach has some great public and private golf courses. Our public are Miami Beach Golf Club and Normandy Golf Course. Both are equally challenging and have been completely refurbished and are usually in good shape. Our private is LaGorce Country Club.

Miami Beach Golf Course is located at 2301 Alton Rd. The newly renovated clubhouse has a restaurant with pretty good food and a full bar. They have clean changing rooms , showers and bathrooms. The course has beautiful fairways, some challenging sometimes fast greens, and trees and water. The course has over 14 holes where water will come into play so be ready. There is a great mix of 3,4 and 5 par holes that will challenge even the best handicaps. Miami Beach residents do get a discount. For tee times or more information you can reach them at:https://www.miamibeachgolfclub.com/ 

Normandy Shores Golf course is located on Normandy Island at 2401 Biarritz Drive, Miami Beach Fl., 33141. The newly renovated clubhouse has a restaurant with pretty good food and a full bar and locals on the island get together their Friday nights. They have clean changing rooms , showers and bathrooms. The layout does not pose as high degree of difficulty in my experience as Miami Beach Golf Course but seems longer. The fairways sometimes seem like miles but the course is usually well kept and straight. The greens have slopes and can be a challenge if your not on your short game. There is a good mix of 3,4 5's and not as much water as Miami Beach Golf course but you have to be careful not to slice your tee shot as you might end up in someones backyard. The staff there is usually very friendly and helpful and Miami Beach residents do get a discount. For tee times or more information you can reach them at: https://www.normandyshoresgolfclub.com/ 

LaGorce Country Club:

This is a private country club and there are social memberships that can be bought but do not include golf. The memberships, which from what I last heard, the golf membership has a waiting list and you have to be sponsored or invited to join. If this is for you then they have a great location completely renovated golf course they just finished, tennis and much more. I have not played the new course yet so I cannot comment on it. They can be reached at: http://www.lagorcecc.com/ . There are beautiful homes on the Golf Course that I am very familiar with that will amaze you with beautiful unobstructed golf course views. Call me to send you a list of these properties if your interested.

The Biltmore Golf Course (Coral Gables) http://www.biltmorehotel.com/golf/ , Melreese Golf Course (Miami) http://www.internationallinksgolfclub.com/ , Trump Doral, www.trumphotelcollection.com/miami/ , and finally Golf Club of Miami (there is a East and West Course here) https://golfccmiami.com/ , and finally one of my favorite is Golf Crandon on Key Biscayne http://golfcrandon.com/ . 
While these are just a few there are still many others within driving distance and Florida is just loaded with many courses to explore all up and down the state. Remember to drink lots of water, bring sunscreen and bug spray, when playing here, especially in the summer months. Also, most course offer twilight pricing in case you only have a couple of hours just ask.
