Country Club of Miami is a public golf facility in Hialeah offering two distinct 18-hole courses steeped in golf history. Designed by Robert Trent Jones and opened in 1961, the club's West Course stretches 7,017 yards with a par of 72 and a demanding slope of 132, having hosted the 1991 Senior PGA Tour National Qualifying School and the former National Airlines Open.
The East Course offers a more approachable 6,353-yard, par-70 layout that still challenges shot placement and strategy. Arnold Palmer served as the club's first golf professional, and legends like Jack Nicklaus and Lee Trevino played rounds here early in their careers, while Jackie Gleason famously hosted celebrity golfers including Bob Hope and Bing Crosby.
Visitors come for the lush fairways, mature landscaping, and championship-caliber layout at prices well below Miami's private clubs. The club also features a sports bar for post-round drinks.
Note that the property is currently listed as temporarily closed, so golfers should confirm status before planning a visit.
