Golf in the Magic City

Miami is a city which has forged an impressive reputation as being the cultural capital and liveliest city in Florida. Check out our favorite golf courses in Miami below:

PGA National Stay at one of the best US resorts, a place that lives and breathes golf the PGA National Resort. Offering an all-out golf experience, the resort features five championship courses including the famous Jack Nicklaus-designed Champion Course, host of the PGA TOUR’s yearly Cognizant Classic.

Trump National Doral Golf Boasting over 50 years of PGA TOUR history, the Blue Monster at Trump National Doral Miami Resort stands as a challenging course and a gem in the local golf scene. In 2013/14, course architect Gil Hanse undertook a successful transformation, turning this esteemed course into a modern masterpiece. Hanse strategically repositioned bunkers, expanded greens, and adjusted fairways to heighten the challenge. Negotiating the course requires skilful navigation of the rough, avoiding water hazards, and mastering the subtly contoured greens. The round concludes with the notorious 473-yard par-4 18th hole, recognized by Golf Magazine as one of the 'Top 100 Holes in the World.'

Designed by Gil Hanse and renovated in 2015, The Golden Palm has become a favorite among visiting guests. The course is composed of wide fairways lined by beautiful palm trees, and five tee boxes allow any player to take on. The Golden Palms signature hole is the par-4 18th. Playing 469 yards from the tips, players will need to hit a great tee shot through a narrow shoot. The real fun begins on the second shot, where players will hit their approach shots into an island green that is surrounded by water.

JW Marriott Golf The Miller Course offers a more relaxed and enjoyable round of golf. Highlighted by contoured fairways, doglegs, elevation shifts, and well-placed bunkers, the Miller Course showcases its true characteristics. The layout is a haven for wildlife, with large ponds hosting ducks, swans, pink flamingos, and the occasional alligator. Shorter than its counterpart, precision from the tee is crucial as rolling fairways are bordered by mature ficus, banyan, and olive trees. Originally designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., both courses at this JW Marriott Resort underwent enhancements by Raymond Floyd and have hosted numerous professional events.

The Soffer Course at JW Marriott is the more challenging of the two courses onsite. Originally designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. in the 1970s, Raymond Floyd reworked it in 2007, adding elevation changes and a visually appealing layout. Players must navigate creeks and lagoons cutting across fairways, with white bunkers enhancing the experience. At 7,000 yards, the Soffer has hosted PGA and LPGA tournaments but offers enjoyable options for all skill levels. The par-4 18th is a memorable, tough finish with a second shot to a peninsula green.

Normandy Shores Golf Club Established in 1941 on a man-made island just 10 minutes from downtown Miami, Normandy Shores Golf Club offers a complete golfing experience with a stunning course, practice facilities, a well-stocked pro shop, and a restaurant known as the Grill Room. The practice amenities include a spacious driving range, a short-game practice area, and a newly renovated putting green. The club's standout feature is the challenging 421-yard par-4 11th hole, notable for a large water hazard guarding the left side of the fairway and front-left of the green, requiring precise yardage for the second shot due to the narrow green dimensions.
