The history of the Miami Beach Golf Club is as full of doglegs as its course is. The club opened in 1923 as the Bayshore Golf Course, the brainchild of developer Carl Fisher, whose nearby Alton Beach subdivision was created as a luxurious winter draw for rich residents of Northern cities.
The 18 holes of this par-72 course are lined with native palm trees and water features. The lush space is covered in blue-green paspalum grass, known to be a highly versatile species of turfgrass that keeps its bright hue and is ecologically friendly.
The course builds to a challenging conclusion. Miami Beach’s three final holes are its most notable, from the short par-four of the 16th hole to the 18th hole, also a par four, admired for its Old Florida feel with plentiful palm trees and other tropical foliage.
The Miami Beach Golf Club also features a full-service restaurant, fully stocked pro shop and individual lessons taught by golf pros.
