Greynolds Golf Course

Greynolds Golf Course is a municipal facility in North Miami Beach, designed by Mark Mahannah and opened in the 1960s. The course occupies land adjacent to Greynolds Park, a historic public park known for its limestone rock formations and mature tropical vegetation. The layout reflects the practical constraints and opportunities of South Florida municipal golf from that era, when designers worked to create affordable public courses on relatively flat terrain with limited budgets. The course plays through a landscape typical of the region, with water hazards that serve both drainage and strategic purposes. Several holes incorporate the natural limestone outcroppings that characterize the area, adding texture to otherwise modest elevation changes. The routing takes advantage of the mature tree canopy, with native and introduced species providing definition between holes and occasional wind protection. As a municipal course serving the northern Miami-Dade area, Greynolds functions primarily as an accessible facility for local residents and visitors seeking straightforward golf in an urban setting. The course has undergone periodic maintenance and renovation work over the decades to address the challenges of South Florida's climate and heavy play. It represents a generation of public golf development that prioritized community access and playability over championship length or dramatic design features, serving as a neighborhood amenity in a densely populated part of the metropolitan area.
