I am going to Ft. Lauderdale/Miami area in early March. I'm going 2 weeks before the tour will be landing there, and I want to play the best courses possible.

Of course I'd like to play Doral, and I know they have multiple courses. Could you guys please list your favorites at both DORAL and the surrounding area??!? Oh yeah, I'll be in Naples/Ft. Meyers too if there's any good ones there.

I can play both public and private courses being an Assistant, so please list accordingly. Thanks!

About the only thing I can offer is that I really enjoyed the Gold Course at Tiburon last time I was in Naples (December 2004).

I played a private course in Naples - Golf Club of the Everglades. A links style layout. There's a public course - Raptor Bay that's a little north of Naples that's not bad. On the east coast, if you get as far north as Del Ray Beach there's a nice Donald Ross layout - Del Ray Beach GC.

awesome info...I called up Seminole and they said I'd have to play w/a member, which usually isn't a problem, but I'm not going to make them go out of their way to get me on.

Other than that, it looks as if I'll be flying into Fort Lauderdale (be there for 2 days of golf) and I'd like to play Doral (how's the Great White track?) and one other. So my tentative schedule will be this

Friday - Doral (Great White Course)
Saturday - NOT SURE YET?!?!?!

Then I'll be heading to Naples and Fort Meyers for 2 days:

Sunday - Calusa Pines (Naples) - Hopefully!!! or Gold Course @ Tiburon
Tuesday - Colonial Country Club (Ft. Meyers)

besides the blue monster and the white course, doral also has a red course, a silver course and i think they might have a gold course. the silver course is the most recent addition and the most memorable for me. in the fort lauderdale area, there is a tpc course west of fort lauderdale, and in palm beach gardens there is pga national with something like seven courses. i don't know much about crandon park on key biscayne (a series of islands just south of downtown miami) except it is on the ocean and they host a champions event every year. the biltmore in coral gables, a miami suburb, is a great track but is in rough shape after years of indifferent upkeep and is due to be shut down soon and will be rehabbed for next winter, so i heard. check that place out after next season. north miami/north miami beach have a bunch of good courses as well as hialeah/miami lakes, just north of doral. lots to choose from, you shouldn't have any trouble finding a great track to play.

Why not? I would!

I'll also echo the guy above who said Raptor Bay was decent. I played that as well and it was a good course. I still think Tiburon Gold was better though.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 87 (27 Jul 25) - Made it an easy session with the wedge this afternoon, worked on staying in the shot and not lifting out - split between low spinners and higher floaters.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Shot my new low 72 (par 70) today. Had 5 birdies, also a new best, which included a hole out from the bunker on par 3 6th, and another hole out pitch from 15ish yards on the long par 4, 15th.  Got a couple of other good breaks. Except for an OB drive on 14th (and ensuing double bogey), not much went wrong. All in all I might have used up a year's worth of luck in a single day.

      Back in the saddle after vacation.  Day 1: played 18. Did not have it, but still battled to an 82. Felt closer to a 90, but that’s fine.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      Yes, I have seen this from the older crowd that play the 4,700 yard tees and want to know why they get less strokes from there. Always trying to game the system 🤣

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas · Posted

      Day 300 - 2025-07-27 Good 44-ball segment. GSPro was acting goofy, so I just put it on the Quad. Then I hit a bunch of low spinners. Hit 14° down to 9.8° down, with the average closer to 12.3° or so. Focused mostly on the backswing. Right knee good, hands roll up and out a little before laying off (FAR).
