Three public courses are within reach of our door at 7418 Harding Avenue: Miami Beach Golf Club on Alton Road, Normandy Shores Golf Club, and Miami Shores Country Club on the mainland. All three take outside players, so you don't need a membership or a club connection to book a tee time.
We don't have a course of our own. What we do have is the rest of the golf day. The courtyard is where the day really begins: an early coffee, then out for a morning tee time before the heat sets in. You come back to The Gym & Sauna for a stretch and a sauna, or to The Courtyard Pool, which is open from sunrise to sunset.
Below is how we'd choose between the three. We've kept to what each club publishes itself: par, yardage, architect, the year it opened, and the number to call. Rates and tee times change through the season, so we'd always check with the club directly before you set out.
Which course to book
Book Miami Beach Golf Club if you want the longest, most demanding round. It plays to 6,813 yards from the black tees, with a course rating of 73.1 and a slope of 131.
Book Normandy Shores if you want to warm up properly or take a lesson. It lists a pro shop, a practice facility and golf instruction, plus a restaurant on site for after the round.
Book Miami Shores Country Club if you'd like an older layout and don't mind crossing the bay. It opened in 1939 and plays to 6,705 yards from the blue tees.

Planning the golf day from North Beach
Plan for an early start. Our front desk, The Desk That Never Sleeps, is staffed 24 hours, so a 6am departure is no trouble on our side. Breakfast is served at The Breakfast Table.
We don't offer parking on site. If you're driving to the course, contact our Reservations Department before you arrive for current parking options and rates near the hotel. If you're flying in with clubs, Miami International Airport is about a 30-minute drive from us.
After the round, the afternoon is yours. The gym has a Peloton bike if you want to spin the legs out, and the sauna is a short walk from your room. The pool stays quiet well into the evening. This is the slower Miami.
