Miami is a city that was specifically engineered as a getaway. The city was developed in the early 20th century by a series of visionary urban planners to serve as the perfect setting for the hardworking people of the United States to escape their troubles. Its flat topography, oceanfront vistas and yearlong termperate weather make Miami a perfect spot for golf.
Miami Beach Golf Club
If you're looking for a golf course close enough to the ocean to feel sea breeze as you tee off, the Miami Beach Golf Course is the place for you. The short walk from the beach to the course will keep you active and outdoors as you prepare to hit on 18 holes in the midst of Miami Beach's resorts. The course is heavy with naturally occurring water obstacles. In operation since 1923, Miami Beach Golf Club underwent a $10 million renovation in 2002 and includes all the modern amenities you expect.
