Description
The land for the course was donated in 1928 by M. C. Gryzmish, a year later the city of Miami took possession of the land. From there it was necessary to fill the land until 1939 to create the Normandy Shores Isle. That is where the plan for the camp began, which was opened at the end of 1941. After WWII, it had to be redesigned and Mark Manahah was brought in for the job. It was a course played by names like Snead, Palmer or Peter Thompson, but also by the most famous gangsters in the city.
Signature Hole
Hole17 / Par 3 / 240 yds. A monster. A difficult shot, with trees that make it look like a short par 4, but it is a brutal par 3 in which the best players will need a hybrid or a 3 wood. Green surrounded by bunkers and with the presence of a lagoon that intimidates even more.
Wegolf Insider Tip
Wegolf first played it in 2010 and has sent clients numerous times. It is an easily accessible course, very well maintained and that can be the starting point of a more extensive Tour or used for those who are in Miami for the day and want to play golf. It is a course with a good balance of easy, intermediate and difficult holes, with 17 being the most complicated, but ending with 18, which is an accessible par 5.
