Florida
South Florida Golf Courses & Tee Times
South Florida golf started with the land booms of the 1920s. Carl Fisher opened the Bay Shore course on Miami Beach in January 1923, Willie Park's layout that is now Miami Beach Golf Club. Miami Springs opened the same year as the Miami-Hialeah course and held the Miami Open from 1925 to 1955; Arnold Palmer made his first start as a pro there in 1954. Bobby Jones opened the Biltmore links in Coral Gables in 1926. Many of these old courses are city-owned today and sit on the state's Florida Historic Golf Trail. The best-known tournament course is the Blue Monster at Doral, a 1962 Dick Wilson design that hosted the Doral Open and the WGC-Cadillac Championship, and that the PGA Tour said in 2025 it would return to in 2026.
Good weekend tee times in South Florida go fast, and the ones that come back later (cancellations, groups that shrink) aren't announced. Yoink watches the tee sheets at 67 public courses here, from Miami, Boca Raton, Lake Worth Beach, Delray Beach and Fort Lauderdale, and tells you the moment a time you want opens up.
The longest layout here is Crandon Golf at Key Biscayne at 7,180 yards; there are 3 nine-hole courses; there are 5 executive or par-3 courses for a quicker round.
Who runs public golf in South Florida
Miami-Dade County runs four 18-hole courses and two nines: Crandon on Key Biscayne, Palmetto, Country Club of Miami (temporarily closed), and the nine-hole Greynolds and Briar Bay. Its Patron Card costs $129 a year for county residents and $199 for everyone else, with a $99 Master's card for golfers 70 and up. Palm Beach County runs Okeeheelee, Osprey Point, Park Ridge, Southwinds and the John Prince Golf Learning Center. Its $99 Frequent Player Card is for primary and seasonal county residents, and primary residents get 20% off from May through October. Cities run their own: Miami Beach owns Miami Beach Golf Club, Coral Gables has run the Biltmore since 1945, and Miami Springs and Lake Worth Beach each have a municipal course from the 1920s.
Public courses worth knowing in South Florida
- Crandon Golf at Key Biscayne: Miami-Dade County's course on Key Biscayne and, per the course, the only public course on Biscayne Bay. It hosted the Senior PGA Tour for 18 years, and the par-4 7th doglegs right over the water.
- Miami Beach Golf Club: Opened in 1923 as Carl Fisher's Bay Shore course, laid out by Willie Park. The Army trained on it in World War II, the city bought it in the 1940s and Arthur Hills' firm redesigned it in 2002.

- Lake Worth Beach Golf Club: City of Lake Worth's municipal course on its lakefront. Nine holes opened in 1926 on dredged fill from the lake, and Dick Wilson's 18 opened in 1948.
- Okeeheelee Golf Course: Palm Beach County's 27-hole park course in West Palm Beach, three nines opened in 1995 that play as three 18-hole combinations, open year round.

Why tee times in South Florida are hard to get
Golf in South Florida peaks in winter, when seasonal residents and visitors arrive. From roughly November through April, weekend mornings are the hardest times on the sheet to get, and even weekdays fill up.
Most public courses open their tee sheet a set number of days ahead, often 7 to 14, and many municipal courses give residents or card holders an earlier window. The best weekend-morning times usually go the day they're released. Leagues and outings take blocks of the sheet before the public ever sees them.
When tee time cancellations happen
A full tee sheet rarely stays full. Many courses let you cancel without a fee up to 24 or 48 hours before your time, so spots tend to reappear in the last couple of days. A bad forecast shakes more loose, and a foursome that drops to three opens a single. None of it is announced. The time just shows up again on the booking page, and whoever looks first gets it.
How to get a tee time in South Florida
Yoink
All 67 courses in South Florida, watched for you around the clock
Pick the courses you'd play and Yoink keeps an eye on all 67 courses in South Florida. You see what's open in one place, and you hear about it the moment a time that fits your day, window and group turns up, cancellations included.
Doing it by hand? Here's what works.
- Know the booking window. Find out how many days ahead each course releases times, and whether residents get an earlier window. Be ready the morning it opens.
- Look again 24 to 48 hours out. That's when most cancellation deadlines pass and spots come back.
- Be flexible on group size. Singles and twosomes fit into gaps a foursome can't.
- Try twilight and weekday afternoons. They're the last to fill and often cheaper.
- Keep a quicker course in your back pocket. Nine-hole and executive courses are easier to get on and play faster. Around here that includes Boca Delray Executive Golf & Country Club, Boca Dunes Executive Golf Course and City of Lauderhill Golf Course.

Tee times in South Florida: questions
How do I get notified when a tee time opens up in South Florida?
Set a watch in Yoink for the courses you want, the days you can play, a time window and the number of players. Yoink checks those tee sheets every few minutes and sends a notification as soon as a matching time appears, cancellations included. You book it directly with the course.
When do tee time cancellations usually show up?
Mostly in the 24 to 48 hours before the tee time, as golfers cancel ahead of the course's cancellation deadline, and whenever the weather forecast changes. They appear without notice and tend to be rebooked quickly.
How far in advance can you book a tee time in South Florida?
It depends on the course. Many public courses open bookings 7 to 14 days ahead, and town or county courses often give residents an earlier window. Each course's own booking page has its policy.
When is golf busiest in South Florida?
Demand is highest from roughly November through April. Weekend mornings are always the hardest tee times to get.
Which courses in South Florida are quickest to play?
Nine-hole and executive courses such as Boca Delray Executive Golf & Country Club, Boca Dunes Executive Golf Course and City of Lauderhill Golf Course take less time and are usually easier to book.
Does Yoink book the tee time for me?
No. Yoink tells you when a time opens; you book it with the course on its own booking page, at the course's price, with no extra fee.
