Shula's Golf Club - Senator Course ~ 1.06 miles
|
|
 |
|
The 18-hole Senator Course at Don Shula's Golf Club is one of those courses that just seems to get better as you play your way around. The first few holes are fairly open and not overly difficult. However, things start to get more difficult as you get through the middle of the front side. By the time you make it to the 11th green, you'll know that you're in for a real dogfight. The fairways on the back get tight and there's water on just about every hole. All in all, it's a very enjoyable course from start to finish.

Doral Golf Resort - Blue Monster ~ 6.55 miles
|
|
 |
|
Since 1962, this course has been the home of the PGA TOUR event that in 2007 will be the World Golf Championship's "CA Championship". The Blue course, known worldwide as the "Blue Monster", has just re-opened following a four-month renovation to enhance the overall playing experience and improve the CA Championship tournament setup while maintaining the course's attributes of character and competitiveness. The most significant improvement to the course was the re-grassing of all eighteen greens with TifEagle Bermuda, which will provide year-round optimal turf conditions, and create firmer, fas...

Doral Golf Resort - Great White ~ 6.55 miles
|
|
 |
|
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 putting surface of 25,000-square feet. There are some terrific holes here including the 8th, a 175-yard par three with an island green. In typical Norman fashion, holes 9 and 18 are extremely difficult finishing holes. In addition, the course was de...

Emerald Hills, The Club At ~ 12.23 miles
|
|
 |
|
Open since 1969, this Devlin/Von Hagge layout received an extensive facelift in the summer of 2000 with many improvements including new TifEagle greens, tees, and bunkers. The ownership continues to improve the course every year, and has since added numerous coquina waste bunkers and native grass plantings to add additional character and challenge to the impeccably maintained layout. The course features generous landing areas for most tee shots, but requires precision approach shots into lightning fast, undulating greens in order to score well. Serious players will absolutely love this amazing...

Crandon Park Golf Course ~ 16.88 miles
|
|
 |
|
Located on Key Biscayne, Crandon Park was the well-known host to a Senior Tour event for 18 years. Here you can walk in the footsteps of legendary past champions Lee Trevino, Gary Player, Gene Littler, and others. Beginning with the risk-reward approach on the par-five first hole, to the demanding tee shot between hazards on #18, your game will be tested. Winds off the bay make club selection tricky, but make for an interesting and rewarding day on the links. This is one gorgeous track!...
