Miami Springs Golf Course
The course is an 18-hole, par‑71 municipal layout playing 6,755 yards from the back tees. It’s rated at 71.0 with a slope of 119 on Bermuda grass fairways.
Greens use a Bermuda blend, offering subtly undulating, well‑maintained putting surfaces. Flat, tree‑lined fairways demand accuracy over length in typical South Florida conditions. Signature holes include the lengthy par‑5 6th and challenging par‑3 16th over bunkers.
Designed in 1923, the layout features tight corridors with strategic bunkering throughout. Course conditioning varies—greens generally hold up well, though fairways sometimes show wear. Its Bermuda surfaces handle heat and drain quickly during rainy seasons. Slope and rating reflect moderate challenge suitable for mid‑handicap players. Notable hole: long par‑4 7th with narrow approach and small, raised green.

Interesting facts: the club hosted the PGA’s Miami International Four‑Ball (1924–1954) and Miami Open (until 1955). Municipal ownership ended in the 1990s, shifting control back locally. The club played a key role in racial integration, first allowing Black golfers in 1949. Design by “Tubby” Martin helped launch South Florida’s oldest municipal course. Its lush tropical setting borders the historic Curtiss Mansion estate.
