Join us on a cruise back in time, where we share the history of a once forgotten swamp and the inspirational people that made Miami what it is today.
The cruise will take you up the Miami River to learn about Julia Tuttle and her great achievement of partnering with Henry Flagler to bring the railroad to Miami, as well as learning about Carl Fisher and the creation of the ‘Venice of the Americas’ Star, Hibiscus, Palm, and Venetian islands.
Not to worry for those that want to hear about the modern city; we will also point out all the known celebrity houses as we cruise through the bay.

This course originally opened as Bayshore Golf Course in 1923 as part of pioneering developer Carl Fisher's ambitious Alton Beach subdivision that was designed to lure wealthy winter residents from New York, Indianapolis, and Detroit.
The City of Miami Beach hired Arthur Hills/Steve Forrest and Associates for the latest and most extensive transformation. The once tired and under-utilized Bayshore has now become the elegant and highly regarded Miami Beach Golf Club. The result is a beautifully restored landmark that will be enjoyed by South Florida residents and visitors from around the world for years to come.
