Miami Springs Golf & Country Club

A somewhat premium golf course based upon price and amenities but the course itself is average at best. The fairways are not in great shape. The greens are a bit better, in good, but not great shape. The layout is good but the course is not particularly challenging, except for the approach shot on the greens. The greens are elevated and rock hard, making it challenging to land your ball on the greens and have it stick from a distance, especially for the average player. When I played, 3-4 of the longer fairways were blocked from carts, although the course wasn’t wet. I’m not sure why, except that they were not in great shape. There are better courses available in this price range.

Went for an event in December. The food was just ok. The staff was nice. The rice was way undercooked and crunchy. In several places the walls are damaged and they haven’t been fixed in at least 1-1/2 years. This time (in may) same thing. Rice was crunchy. The pasta casserole was gross. The pasta way way over cooked to the point of gushy. It tasted bland like someone poured canned tomato sauce on the pasta with some dried basil in it. Over powered with basil and no other spice was detected. No garlic, no onions. It tasted like ketchup with basil in it. The bread was hard as a rock and inedible, the carrots were undercooked. The salad was limp. The fish was ok, not great, just ok. The beef sirloin was ok. It was a bit stringy but edible. Most of it was medium to medium well. The desert cake was good and the coffee brought back memories of sitting in a tire shop waiting for my car to be ready with that black muck they offer. I hope my organization never goes back there. There are so many better places in Miami to choose from it always baffles me why they go to that place. If the food sucks for a banquet, why go there?

For the price Normandy and Miccosuki is better. The restaurant is absolutely terrible. They think they’re running a Michelin restaurant where they can complain about how “busy” they are. Food is trash. The only good thing is the sweet cart girl.
