Play a few rounds of golf

There’s no better way to spend the afternoon than hanging out with friends under the South Florida sun, having a couple drinks, and playing a few rounds of golf. Luckily, Miami Springs residents have the Miami Springs Golf & Country Club. The Miami Springs golf course is a premier course, designed by Thomas Martin with a course rating of 71.0 and a slope rating of 119. First opening in 1923, the Miami Springs golf course is the oldest in Miami. Over the years, it has stood the test of time because it is still a favorite among local and traveling golf enthusiasts. Plus, it's the same course where golf legends like Sam Snead and Gene Sarazen established their legacies and left a mark in golfing history. So, if you want to brush up your golf skills on the same course where the giants played or simply spend the day at the driving range, Miami Springs Golf & Country Club is the place for you.

Sometimes, you need an escape from the stress of everyday life. You need to go take a walk, clear your head, and forget about all your worries for a while. Well, Stafford Park is one of the best places in Miami Springs to do that. Stafford Park is a lovely park with a decent amount of green space despite Miami Springs’s small size. The park has walking paths, two soccer fields, a baseball field, a softball field, and a playground area for the kids. It’s a great place to take the family to get some fresh air and exercise, and when I say family, I mean the whole family, including the canine members. So, head over to Stafford Park to relax and spend some time enjoying South Florida’s lovely weather.
