Title: Options in Miami area?
Post by: Frank Sekulic on September 23, 2013, 04:46:37 PM

I am going to be in Miami the second week of November and was hoping to get some recommendations about where to play.

Thanks

The best public option is probably Crandon at Biscayne Bay.  Here's the website:  http://www.golfcrandon.com/

Crandon or The Biltmore for public access...Indian Creek if you can tug twine

Indian Creek is a very tough ticket.

Biltmore is a great call.. I much prefer it to Crandon.  Another photo tour...

Frank,
I agree on crandon and biltmore. They were my two favorite public options when I lived there.  I use to work at miami beach golf club.   Overpriced but convenient and fun if your staying in downtown Miami or south beach. I haven'to played normandy shores since they reopened it. That might be an option as well.   Hopefully someone can comment.
