The Course
PURE GOLF
Miakka is designed to be a course where golf is connected to the game’s historical legacy. It is a place where you, your friends and guests will find swaths of short grass and bunkers that emerge from the edges of inspired greens. Challenge meets enjoyment, and the result is an unforgettable golf course with few comparisons.
Stylistically, this is pure “Florida Sandbelt,” a nod to its inspiration from fabled Australian treasures such as Royal Melbourne and Kingston Heath. Crafted by Dana Fry, Jason Straka, and Paul Azinger, along with the leading shapers in the golf construction business, Miakka is unlike any previous Florida design. With wide fairways allowing the player to chart their own path among the stately live oaks and little rough to speak of, your imagination will be your guide. Vertical sand emerges hard along the edges of the putting surfaces in a way rarely seen in North America.
Designed for detail
At Miakka, Fry, Straka and Azinger are building a style of course unseen previously in Florida. Sand-capped fairways throughout ensure firm and fast playing surfaces. Even the grasses, unique to Florida golf—called Lazer and Stadium Zoysia—were picked to create a ground game that links to the Old World game, where members have endless options—putting or chipping from 50 yards off the greens and using the contours of the ground to dictate the ball’s path.
Sustainability by design
Throughout it all, the Miakka design and construction team has put the environment at the forefront. In picking its grass, the team found an option that required less water and fewer inputs than most traditional grasses used in Florida to create a great playing surface. Hundreds of Live Oaks were transplanted to give the site a timeless charm, making it appear as if the course has an established history. The result is a more natural, resilient golf course that will be playable and enjoyable for years to come.
Par 3 Course
Though diminutive in size, the 1685-yard, 12-hole par-3 course will be enjoyable for all and maintained to the same exacting standards as the championship course. Like the championship course the par-3 course will be sodded and sand capped. The artfully designed par-3 holes will provide thrilling and fun opportunities to test your skills against friends and fellow members while its proximity to The Still will ensure everyone has a great time.
