Where 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: Since opening in 1962, Doral has been the city's must-play golf destination. The resort now has five courses, including the TPC Blue Monster, site of the World Golf Championships-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

Biltmore Coral Gables: Both the resort's Donald Ross course and the Mediterranean Revival-style hotel have seen recent renovations that 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 allow guests to enjoy the South Florida's warm air and palm tree-lined landscape.

Where 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.
