Miami Springs Golf Course opened in 1925, designed by Thomas "Tubby" Martin during the Florida land boom era. The course occupies relatively flat terrain characteristic of the Miami area, with mature trees and water features that have evolved over nearly a century. As one of the older municipal facilities in South Florida, it reflects the straightforward design principles of the 1920s, when courses were built to accommodate the growing public appetite for golf without the elaborate earthmoving common in later decades. The layout measures modest by contemporary standards and plays through a residential neighborhood setting in Miami Springs, a planned community developed in the same period as the course. Water comes into play on several holes, typical of South Florida golf, and the tree-lined fairways require accuracy from the tee. The course has served generations of local golfers and remains a fixture in the Miami-Dade municipal golf system. Martin, who worked primarily in Florida during the boom years, designed courses that emphasized playability and maintenance economy for public facilities. Miami Springs reflects this practical approach while retaining period character through its routing and mature landscaping. The course provides accessible golf in a densely developed urban area, maintaining its role as a neighborhood amenity nearly a century after its creation.
