Deering Bay at Deering Bay Yacht & Country Club

Nestled in the heart of Coral Gables, Deering Bay’s Charles Mahannah design, a 1990's marvel, offers a strategic test shaped by Biscayne Bay breezes and the natural contours of the South Florida landscape. While not widely celebrated on a national stage, its appeal lies in its intimate setting and the challenge it presents to golfers of all skill levels.

The course favors a thoughtful, positional approach rather than brute power. Narrow fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and subtle undulations around the greens demand precision and careful club selection. Errant tee shots are penalized, but the layout rewards intelligent course management with scoring opportunities on deceptively challenging par 4s and reachable par 5s.

Deering Bay is more than just golf; it is a refuge from the hustle and bustle of Miami. The membership, a mix of local professionals and families, creates a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. You will often find them gathered after a round to watch a game and eat conch fritters by the club’s outdoor patio.
