Opened 1941
Normandy Shores Golf Club
Miami Beach’s second city course, laid out in 1941 on its own island in Biscayne Bay.
Normandy Shores is a City of Miami Beach golf club on a man-made island in Biscayne Bay. It was dedicated in 1941 and redesigned by Arthur Hills in 2008.
An island made for golf
The land was given to the City of Miami Beach in 1928, and the city dredged and filled the bay to create Normandy Shores Isle. The course was designed by the firm of Toomey and Flynn, and the course and clubhouse were dedicated on 18 December 1941.
In the post-war years Normandy Shores was a hot spot: Sam Snead and Arnold Palmer were among the professionals who played here regularly.
Restored
In 2008 the city spent more than $9 million on a renovation by Arthur Hills, and each December it co-hosts the South Beach International Amateur with Miami Beach Golf Club.
Sam Snead and Arnold Palmer were regulars here in the years after the war.
Our advice: it is open from 7am to 7pm every day, and quieter than the South Beach course, so it suits a relaxed round.
