The clubhouse at Indian Creek in Miami was designed by Maurice Fatio.  

I would have to say the answer is Indian Creek.  It's a neat golf course that surprisingly has some elevation change to it.  The 9-13 holes are particularly good, and I like the 18th as a par 4 finisher.

Adam:

#'s 9 and 18 used to be par 5's.  Have they been changed to 4"s?

If yes, are the "normal" tee markers now positioned somewhat forward than in the past?

Even in this day and age, those are pretty long 4's from the 1980's tee boxes.

chipoat--

Indian Creek has a "William Flynn Course" scorecard that has back tees for the 9th and 18th holes as 455 yard and 460 yard par fours.  From those tees, they are quite long, especially considering that they are uphill.  Both holes are still par 5s for normal member play.  Wayne or Tom can probably answer what distance they are supposed to be on the original blueprint.

Indian Creek is a wonderful golf day. I have played there  many times and enjoyed each round. the course is a nice walk in the park. the BEARS CLUB is also a wonderful golf  day. the course is tough but fair. It is one of my favorite golf courses. It is the BEARS home course and that alone makes it a special place.  Play both courses if you are lucky enough to get on... you will love them both.....

Hope this response is not too late.  Indian Creek is a golf experience unlike any other.  The ultimate example of top notch service in any club in the world.  I enjoyed many rounds as a young adult often with Vic Gezzi past PGA champion. While the golf course is not the most memorable, the place is one of a kind. You have experience it to understand.  I have not been to the Bears Club, but I would save it for another time.
