• Waterlefe Golf & River Club
  "Waterlefe - Exceptional Winter Golf Experience"
  The first thing you notice about Waterlefe Golf and River Club is the beautiful landscaping aligning the drive to the clubhouse. The course is no different. It was in exceptional condition. We played the ball down with no alibies. While the "High Season" rates are a bit steep,(they include a sleeve of Pro V1's), the course could not have been in better shape. The Tifeagle greens, a form of Bermuda which requires no winter rye overseed, were in mid-summer form, even in February, and arguably the finest greens of any course anywhere. There are a number of holes which require a significant "carry" over either water or other non-playable terrain, so it may provide more challenge than most high handicappers prefer. Play about the course moved well and we saw the ranger numerous times throughout the round. Interestingly, the sign on the ranger's cart reads "player assistance." The carts are equipped with GPS which provided us with almost all the distance and hole layout information we needed to play the correct shots. My partner and I played with two member/residents, Gary and Angelo, who were friendly and helpful, as was the staff. The layout was well designed, providing some breathtaking views, and did not resemble the typical flat Florida concept. I highly recommend this course to anyone who craves the high-end country club experience without having to actually join one.

• Palmetto Golf Course
  "Surprisingly challenging course"
  Palmetto golf course in Miami is not a championship level course. That being said, it is a good course for the mid- to high-handicapper, and when the wind is up can challenge low-handicappers as well. The course is not long or narrow, and like all Miami courses is primarily flat. However, water does come into play on 10 of the holes (although on most it's a visual nuisance only) and can easily ruin a good round. The 'signature' third hole is a good example. The water on this hole is a canal that fronts the entire green (about 10-12 yards in front of it) and makes your second shot somewhat intimidating. In fact, when the wind is up, you may have anything from a mid to a long iron in, and quite a few people play it as a par-5 and just lay up to 100 yards to avoid the thought of a 180-200 yard carry over water to a short (but wide) green. The better player will not be intimidated, but the average golfer can be. Palmetto has several holes that reward target golf, as some of the greens (such as the par 3 11th) are huge, meaning if you miss on the wrong side you could easily be left with a putt of 60-80 feet. Others, such as the short par-3 17th, feature tiny greens surrounded by bunkers. The main complaint about this course is the greens. They tend to be uneven in speed from hole to hole and day to day, and often are not very smooth. That being said, when they do run true, they can be tough, as they have numerous ridges and slopes that make for slippery par putts. Overall Palmetto is a very good value. While it doesn't compare to the elite courses in the area, for a nice day of golf, particularly for the average (mid to high handicap) golfer, this is a good pick.

• Beau Pre Country Club
  "Untapped potential"
  Beautiful layout. Conditioning average. not much of clubhouse. Spectacular finishing holes with bluff in background. Excellent driving range and putting green.
