Florida Golf Course Review

Don Shula's Golf Club | Florida golf course

Miami Lakes Golf Club (formerly The Senator Course at Shula's Golf Club) is the centerpiece of the Miami Lakes Hotel property. Located between downtown Ft. Lauderdale and Miami, the property is near most South Florida attractions and nightlife, with upscale shopping, dining and even a theatre complex within walking distance.

The Miami Lakes Golf Club, a unique property in a true country club setting, has a driving range and practice area. Rated 3 1/2 stars by Golf Digest Places to Play, the golf course is a par 72 Bill Watts championship design with full service practice facilities. The driving range has grass and mat tee stations pen daily until dusk. The property was awarded the Audubon Society Certificate for preservation of wildlife.

Tree lined fairways lead to medium to small sloping greens, with dense tropical foliage and plentiful wildlife along the way. Plenty of water and marsh traps are home to indigenous waterfowl - helping the property to be certified by the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary System for environmental planning. The front nine more resembles a northern layout with long narrow fairways, while the back features an environment for which South Florida is known.

Many of the green complexes are open in front, allowing for low running pitches and chips. Sand bunkering is strategic but understated with a little more than a couple dozen traps located along the fairways or greenside. Water comes into play on nine holes, with some forced carries. The par five seventh is a gorgeous golf hole - with an island green ready to challenge the best of players. Most golfers will have to lay up to the 100 yard area and attempt to approach in three. Miami Lakes is open for public play.  For more info on the Golf Club and Hotel, visit our page for the property, with direct link to their website by clicking here.
