Biltmore Golf Course - Coral Gables, FL

The Biltmore Golf Course in Coral Gables is a deceptively difficult track, relatively short but with Donald Ross' characteristically small greens, which can be notoriously hard to hit and hold. They don't have the radical drop-offs many of the master's courses do but you can find yourself in trouble if you hit to the wrong area, as Ross intended.

A popular Miami-area track (to the tune of 40,000-45,000 rounds a year), the Biltmore isn't in tip-top shape, but it's a pleasant day on the course, especially for Donald Ross fans. If the Biltmore Hotel management, which took over the course from the city of Coral Gables, follows through with ambitious upgrade pans, it will be a particularly memorable Ross experience.
