Can anyone recommend a great public golf course within reasonable distance of the South Beach Ritz in Miami?

Travelling there in Mid October and am looking to play a great course. Doral is too far plus the Blue Monster is booked. Thanks

There is Bayshore Golf Course just a short ride away (23d & Alton) and Normandy Shores Golf Course about 3-4 miles North on Normandy Isle. Between them there is the private LaGorce Country Club. Just do a Yahoo search for “Public Golf Courses, Miami” & you’ll get all the info. Or let the concierge at the hotel take care of it.
