Golf Courses:

Killian Greens Golf Club

9980 SW 104th St, Miami, FL

(305) 271-0917

This well-maintained course has narrow fairways that are flat and easy to walk. The greens are slightly sloped and firm, so holding your shots on the greens will be difficult at times. In addition, canals and lakes come into play on four holes. Twilight rates are available any day after 2 PM.

 Calusa Country Club

9400 SW 130th Ave, Miami, FL

(305) 386-5533

This is a somewhat, wide-open course because Hurricane Andrew ruined many of its trees. While the replanted trees grow in, the club is maintaining a defined cut of thick rough bordering the fairways. Many deep sand bunkers have been incorporated into the course design, and water hazards come into play on some holes. The large greens are undulating and fast, plus many of them are elevated and multi-tiered. The terrain is basically flat, but there are some mounds that can affect your shots. This course plays from 5,695 to 7,154-yards and there are four sets of tees to challenge all skill levels. For additional information call the pro shop at (305) 386-5533 or visit the club online at www.calusacountryclub.com.

Miccosukee Golf Course

6401 Kendale Lakes Dr, Miami, FL

(305) 382-3930

Barracuda/Marlin/Dolphin-Courses

Formerly known as Miami National Golf Club, this facility has three individual nine hole courses that are played in three eighteen hole combinations. All the fairways are narrow due to an extremely thick cut of rough, however, there is only a scattering of trees that can affect your shots. Furthermore, the numerous sand bunkers on the course may cause problems for the average player, and water hazards come into play at every corner on all three courses. The terrain is fairly flat, but there is some slight mounding that can occasionally leave you with an uneven lie. The large greens are undulating, and fast. Many scenic views of the countryside can be seen throughout these courses. Golfers take note; the out-of bounds areas are either marked by white stakes or coral rocks. The Dolphin and Marlin courses have been the site of several LPGA Tour events, as well as numerous PGA qualifiers for the Doral-Ryder Open and Honda Classic.
