Miami, Florida

A true world city, this cosmopolitan destination offers visitors an overwhelming dose of, well, everything. So be warned: After a few days in Miami, you’ll need to take a couple of days off to recuperate.

Where to play golfWHERE TO PLAY

>> Crandon Golf Key Biscayne: One of Florida’s best munis sits on a barrier island just minutes from downtown and offers a 7,301-yard challenge that used to be longtime host of a Champions tour event.

>> Doral Golf Resort & Spa: Ever since opening in 1962, Doral has been the city’s must-play golf destination. The resort now has five courses, including the Blue Monster, site of the CA Championship and a mainstay on the PGA Tour’s Florida Swing.

>> Miami Beach Golf Club: Dating from the Roaring ’20s, this centrally located layout that serves as a much-needed respite from the nightlife of South Beach received a 21st century renovation by Arthur Hills.


Where to stay WHERE TO STAY

>> Biltmore Coral Gables: Both the resort’s Donald Ross course and the Mediterranean Revival-style hotel have seen recent renovations that have restored the grandeur that marked the property when it opened in 1926.

>> Delano: This modern hotel in the heart of South Beach allows easy access to the famed area’s entertainment options as well as the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. But those choosing to stay on the grounds can relax in an urban oasis.

>> Fairmont Turnberry Isle: A $100 million makeover has resulted in 36 holes of golf with plenty of water in play, along with 392 rooms, each with a balcony or terrace that allows guests to enjoy South Florida's warm air and palm tree-lined landscape.


Where to eatWHERE TO EAT

>> Cape Cod Room: Although the Cape and South Beach are miles apart in location, atmosphere and sensibility, what they share is proximity to the water, and diners can now enjoy fresh seafood at this former private club.

>> D. Rodriguez Cuba: Located in Hotel Astor, one of the newest restaurants in South Beach features an Art Deco setting and Cuban dishes from chef Douglas Rodriguez, a pioneer in Latin cuisine.

>> Joe’s Stone Crab: Sure, it’s touristy and they don’t take reservations, which means you could wait hours for a table. But there’s a reason this 97-year-old institution is so popular among visitors and locals; the stone crabs are that good.
