Keys Gate Golf & Tennis Club sits in Homestead, Florida, at the southern edge of the Miami metropolitan area. Designed by Zocky and opened in the late 1980s as part of a residential community development, the course occupies relatively flat terrain characteristic of South Florida's coastal plain. The layout incorporates the region's natural features—water hazards, native vegetation, and stands of tropical hardwoods—into a parkland-style design that serves primarily as an amenity for the surrounding neighborhood. The routing makes extensive use of water, with lakes and canals coming into play on multiple holes, reflecting both the area's high water table and the design conventions of Florida golf in that era. Fairways are typically framed by mature landscaping, and the greens present modest undulation. The course operates as part of a larger club facility that includes tennis courts and other recreational amenities, catering to a family-oriented membership base drawn from the Keys Gate community. Homestead's location near the entrance to the Florida Keys and its proximity to Everglades National Park give the setting a distinct subtropical character. The course experiences warm, humid conditions year-round and occasional weather interruptions during hurricane season. Keys Gate functions as a neighborhood club rather than a destination layout, providing accessible golf for residents in an area of South Florida that has seen significant growth and development over recent decades.
