Normandy Shores Golf Course

Very well kept secret, at least for me before this occasion. The grass on the course is impeccable. The ball getscushioned and glided by its greens. The carts feel new and top notch. We went on a March afternoon when days begin to feel longer. Holes 17-18 were tough with no light but that will soon change with the spring. Shoot. Too bad I’m not a member. I will need to catch a good tee time on the portal. Wish me luck. This is my go-to now.

Terrific experience. I was able to get out after a brief wait of 35 minutes ( single player) , so I had time to warm up on the range, grass tee was a pleasant surprise, and take a few moments on the chipping and putting areas. Fairways are fairly spacious, rough is present but not overwhelming, and the greens were vastly superior to those I had played at two other nearby courses last week. Pace of play was excellent (4 hours 5 minutes) with 3 in our group. The only downside was that it was slightly more expensive than others nearby, BUT I am not a resident and it is still considered peak season. The location is ideal if you are staying in, or around Miami Beach ( 15 minutes from 195& Alton Rd.) If I am fortunate enough to visit South Florida next year I absolutely will give it another go.

This was my last stop on this golf trip through Orlando and Miami.... paid a little over $100 for the round and it was worth it....a sub-80 round might have created a bias 😉. Course conditions were great and the greens rolled well. Staff was friendly. If you decide to play here book directly through the course rather than GolfNow to save on fees.
