Are you an avid golfer? Then Florida is your natural home. With courses for beginners to seasoned pros, and offering everything from public links to the most private of clubs, the Sunshine State has it all. And residents of Onda Residences — beautifully nestled on the shore of Bay Harbor Islands — are within putting distance of several classy courses. Let’s swing by a few.
Indian Creek Country Club
Situated on the doorstep of Onda’s North Miami Beach condos, Indian Creek Country Club is an immaculately turned-out club, landscaped with valley oaks and granite outcroppings. It’s known for its warm welcome, as it’s open to the public and allows you to easily book tee times online. Once you’ve caught the golfing bug, find your dream iron at the onsite pro shop, and work on your game with lessons from legends like Mark Hatala and Patty Snyder.
Normandy Shores Golf Club
Just a 20-minute drive from Onda Residences, Normandy Shores Golf Club is steeped in history. The links here date back nearly a century and have hosted golfing greats from Sam Snead to Arnold Palmer. Designed by Arthur Hills — one of America’s finest golf course designers — Normandy Shores is a doozy to play on. Reward your efforts with an ahi tuna sandwich in the clubhouse.
Miami Shores Country Club
Home to exceptionally well-groomed rolling terrain, Miami Shores Country Club offers 18 glorious holes replete with mature trees, plus a unique water hazard, in the Biscayne Canal. Gather together up to seven fellow golfers to book your tee time, and round off your game in the club bar, which you’ll find stocked with an august range of Scotch whiskies.
Miami Beach Golf Club
Originally Carl Fisher’s 1923 Bayshore Golf Course — designed to lure wealthy New Yorkers down south — the Miami Beach Golf Club has been fully restyled to feature a picturesque-yet-challenging fairway, which co-hosts the coveted South Beach International Amateur competition alongside Normandy Shores. You needn’t be quite so talented to join in the fun though, and Miami Beach residents even get reduced rate membership.
La Gorce Country Club
For those seeking the ultraexclusive golfing experience, La Gorce Country Club insists that membership is only by invitation from an existing member. If you can swing it, a glorious palm-fringed championship fairway awaits — alongside a pool, tennis courts, and private dining.
