Miami Beach Golf Club
About this course
Miami Beach Golf Club bears the mark of a bygone era, a monument to the burgeoning leisure scene of the 1920s on Alton Road. Originally crafted by the esteemed Arthur Hills, this is not a course that overwhelms with length, but instead asks the player to navigate subtle doglegs and contend with strategically placed water hazards that come into play on almost every hole. The parkland layout, while not hugging the coastline, reflects the South Florida landscape with its gentle undulations and palm-lined fairways. Several significant renovations in recent years, including work by Bruce Devlin and Robert Trent Jones Jr. (father and son), have modernized the playing experience without sacrificing the soul of the original design. It is a course that favors the thoughtful player, one who can shape shots and manage their game, rather than simply overpowering the landscape. This is not a place steeped in major championship history, yet its position within Miami Beach makes it a social nexus and an important golf hub for the region. The Club has a thriving and active membership who are more likely to be found enjoying a post-round meal or drink together on the patio rather than chasing a spot on leaderboards. The Miami Beach Golf Club is a comfortable golf club, it's unpretentious and it's understood. It's a place to play and be seen, and for many, that's the ultimate Miami Beach experience.

Getting there
Miami Beach Golf Club is most readily accessed via Miami International Airport (MIA), situated roughly 20 minutes north of the club by car, or Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FLL), a comparable drive south through the coastal corridor. For those arriving by private aircraft, Miami Executive Airport (TMB) and Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE) both offer seamless proximity and the discretion befitting an exclusive arrival. The final approach winds through the vibrant streets of Miami Beach itself, a transition from the broader urban landscape into the quieter, more manicured enclave where the club sits, its oceanside setting and Art Deco surroundings marking the arrival at one of South Florida's most coveted golfing addresses.
