About this course
The Soffer Course at Turnberry Isle Resort in Aventura, Florida, was designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and opened as part of the resort's original 36-hole golf complex. Jones, known for his strategic design philosophy and emphasis on championship-caliber challenges, created two courses here that served both resort guests and serious competitive play. The Soffer Course represents his approach to South Florida golf, working with the region's flat terrain and incorporating water hazards, bunkers, and tropical vegetation to define holes and create strategic interest. The course occupies land in the developed corridor between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, surrounded by the urban landscape of Aventura. Like most South Florida layouts, it features relatively level terrain with water coming into play on numerous holes, requiring accuracy off the tee and on approach shots. Jones employed his characteristic large, contoured greens and strategically placed bunkering to test shot-making and course management. The tropical setting includes palm trees and native vegetation that frame fairways and contribute to the resort atmosphere. Turnberry Isle has historically attracted both leisure golfers and competitive events, serving as a venue for professional tournaments over the years. The resort's golf facilities have been central to its identity as a luxury destination in the Miami area. The Soffer Course, along with its companion Miller Course, provides a traditional country club experience within the resort setting, offering a contrast to the more modern residential golf developments that have emerged in South Florida in recent decades.

Getting there
The journey to Turnberry Isle Resort begins at Miami International Airport (MIA), roughly thirty minutes south along the Florida coast, or at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FLL), a comparable drive north through the subtropical sprawl of South Florida. For those arriving by private aircraft, Opa-Locka Executive Airport (OPK) sits just minutes away, offering discreet access befitting the resort's ultra-luxury positioning. The final approach traces the transition from the urban density of greater Miami into the quieter, more manicured enclave of Aventura, where the resort's distinctive twin towers emerge against the Atlantic horizon, their elegant silhouettes a promise of the championship golf and refined hospitality that awaits within.
