Course Report

Indian Creek Country Club is located on a private island, making it one of the most secluded and exclusive golf clubs in the world. Its membership includes some of the world's wealthiest and most influential individuals.

About

Indian Creek Country Club is an exclusive private golf facility situated on Indian Creek Island near Miami Beach, Florida. Designed by renowned architect William S. Flynn in 1930, the course features meticulously groomed Bermuda grass, strategic bunkering, and scenic water views. The club’s tradition, privacy, and elegant setting make it one of the most prestigious golf experiences in the USA.

Caddie Tip

Smart course management is a must here due to the strategic bunkering and multi-tiered greens. Approach shots should be played with caution, aiming for the middle of the greens to avoid tricky recoveries from deep hazards. Take the time to read the subtle breaks on the Bermuda greens, which can be quite challenging for first-time visitors.

The Main Challenge

The biggest challenge at Indian Creek Country Club is managing the windy, open coastal conditions, which force golfers to carefully judge club selection and shot trajectory. The strategically placed bunkers, water hazards, and undulating Bermuda greens test precision and patience throughout the round.

The Good

Golfers cherish the perfectly maintained fairways and greens, along with the breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay and Miami’s skyline. The privacy and exclusivity of the club create a serene playing environment. Members appreciate the blend of challenging design and tranquil island surroundings, which makes every round feel special.

The Not So Good

Due to its private, exclusive nature, access is extremely limited. Many golf enthusiasts lament the lack of opportunity to experience the course firsthand. Some also wish for enhanced practice facility access and increased tee time availability for guests and younger members.
