Turnberry Isle Miami Miller Course Review (305)932-6200
Florida Golf Course Review
IMPRESSIONS from our foursome round in January 2022
Simply put - Turnberry presents the 2 best golf courses in SE Florida! Both are interestingly designed with a great variety of shot options and selections, with excellent
conditioning and beautiful landscaping from tee to green. The practice facilities are amazing, and their beautiful clubhouse restaurant affords enticing views of the course
and property. The service is top notch, with excellent cart food and beverage service from tee one to 18! This is an experience worthy of planning your vacation around.

Turnberry Isle Miami, situated on 300 lush acres between Miami and Ft Lauderdale, is a Mediterranean-style retreat featuring upscale accommodations and amenities, with golf
facilities worthy of an exclusive private club. Play on the two courses is open for members and guests, plus those fortunate enough to be staying at the resort. The property offers
a variety of rooms and suites, a full spa and fitness area, outstanding tennis center, swimming pools with water slides and lazy river, expansive conference and meeting/event
facilities, plus fine and casual dining. For info on the resort and stay and play packages, click here.
The golf facilities include two beautiful 18-hole championship courses, complete practice area (with driving range, short game areas and putting greens) golf academy, and pro
shop. Locker rooms with showers are available, and a dining area and lounge are conveniently nearby. Lush tropical landscaping adorns both layouts, with features that include
an abundance of palm trees, man-made waterfalls, plentiful soft sand bunkers and water hazards.
GPS is standard on all golf carts, with hole diagrams and accurate measurements from tee to pin. The flag sticks are also color coded to indicate front, middle or back pin
placements. Coolers with bottles of water are also mounted on all golf carts. The conditioning of the playing surfaces is exquisite, with seaside paspalum featured on the tees,
fairways and greens. The rough turf is superior paspalum.
MILLER COURSE
The images in this review are of the Miller Course, which features gently rolling fairways with landing zones often defined by sand bunkers (some high lipped and penal) and
ponds or crossing streams. The many wooden bridges that carry carts across hazards are functional but also create aesthetic beauty. The mildly undulating and at times tiered
greens are usually well protected by sand bunkers, and wood walls often define the green complexes that feature water hazards. Mounding greenside creates collection areas
that can make up and downs quite challenging.
The Miller course offers 5 sets of tee boxes with yardages and slopes that measure 6323/140 slope, 5803/132 slope, 5221/121 slope for men and 129 for women, 4717/116
slope for men and 123 for women, and 4191 with a 112 slope. There is an alternate set for beginners, juniors and seniors at 3596 yards. Including the sandy waste areas (which
also double as cart paths on many holes) there are over 80 sand bunkers situated near the landing zones or greenside, and water comes into play on 13 holes.
This is an extremely beautiful golf course. Though not overly long, it plays quite difficult from the tips...but from the white tees in presents a very resort like golf experience. All levels
of players can enjoy this layout. For more information, visit our detailed information page for this course by clicking here.
