Play a Round of Golf

Treat Dad to a day of golf. Crandon Golf Key Biscayne is a mangrove-lined championship course that has been rated as one of the best in the country.

Treat your father to one of two championship 18-hole golf courses at the JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa Golf Course in Aventura, which is located a bit further north. After that, visit the golf course’s signature restaurant and bar, CORSAIR Kitchen & Bar.
