Got in 10 rounds in a trip to Miami. Toward the end the courses were great, happy that could play and brought the clubs. We booked most rounds through Golfnow, and it worked fine. Mostly the offers were from the same courses though. But some good values for sure.
First round, just booked some with 4 stars, close and affordable, around 40$. Did not realize it could be a par 62. At least we found out quick what an "executive course" means. Seven bridges at Springtree. Was okay considering. Used driver 3 times and varianced all to fairway, made an eagle on a 400y par-5 lol, but since it´s my second I might have to take it haha. Shot 67 with a double on first hole. All downhill from there when got to a real course.
The Senator course at Don Shula. Was under 40$ and good value, nice course. Shot 88.
Normandy Shores. Close to 100$, was a nice course but after great reviews did not feel that special. 20mph winds and most holes with or against the wind. Driver I could not hit the ball at all, short game awful and yea did give up toward the end. One par lolol. 105 strokes, niiice
Key West gc, 75$. Decent course, bunch of mangrovetrees. After 5hour drive and racing to beat the twilight at least made 6 pars, 94 shots still.
Palmetto golf. Twilight fee of 25$. Some not great conditions on fairways but good value still. Beat the 6pm deadline by 2mins. Hit one approach to wrong green by mistake lolol so took a dq, 6 pars and 1 birdie.
Pembroke Lakes. Around 50$ I think, was really good. Lotts of water but it did not come into play thaat much always. 6 pars, 1 birdie and another 94 lol. Did give balls to the waters.
Yacaranda East, another really good course for around 50$. 7pars, 1 birdie but dnf one hole. Started to get some idea how to hit.
Biltmore Golf, again a strong course for 50$. Florida women college team play there I think. Quite a clubhouse too. Shot 90 ugh.
Then off to Trump-Land. Still might put last summers Pärnu Bay as a more wow -experience, but Doral was flawless. Red Tiger a great course, and as the day was sunnier it might have been more memorable and at least took better pics. Paid 165$ and 135$, worth every penny. Without golfnow maybe woulda passed, but really happy we went. Planned to play only the Tiger but had to go back. Silver Fox 88 and Red Tiger front9 was 42, back9 55 lol, though there was some knee-trouble in that.
If you go golfing in that area would rec any course of the last 5 and Don Shula too for value. Normandy good but not huge value. Sadly missed the Crandon Golf, but did not fit great into travel plan and normal fee was 170.
