Country Club of 
Miami is an unincorporated community in northwest Miami-Dade County, near Miami Lakes.

Sixty years ago, developers began selling lots to buyers to build their homes and several empty lots remain, said Juan C. Fernandez, a Realtor with Keller Williams Miami Lakes.

Located east of Interstate 75, between Florida’s Turnpike, Miami
Gardens
Drive and
Northwest
67th Avenue,
it abuts the
border with
Broward
County.

Amenities

Recreational features include the County Club of Miami golf course. It has two, 18-hole courses designed by Robert Trent Jones, at 6801 NW 186th St., which are owned by Miami-Dade County.

Arnold Palmer was the first golf pro, in 1961, according to the county website.

There is a tot lot at 7620 South Oakmont Circle, which is also maintained by the county.

The community’s north and south roadways are Northwest 202nd Street and Miami Gardens Drive; to the west it’s Northwest 77th Court and across the golf course to the east, is Bob-O-Link Drive, Fernandez said.

The neighborhood has single-family homes of up to seven bedrooms and six baths, and townhomes and condominiums with up to four bedrooms and four baths.

What does it cost?

Country Club of Miami Estates is a private and gated subdivision within the golf course, and some homeowners have lakefront views.

Each property owner
in that subdivision pays a quarterly HOA fee of $610 for security, street maintenance and streetlights, Fernandez said.

Outside of the Estates development, some Country Club of Miami properties are managed by homeowner associations and owners pay fees, while others do not have HOAs or fees.

There are 14 homes and condos for sale in the area.

Single-family home prices range from $425,000 to slightly over $1 million, Fernandez said.

Townhome and condo prices span $325,000 to $680,000. During the past six months, 17 residences in Country Club of Miami sold for $550,000 to $615,000, Fernandez said. Townhomes and condos went from $230,000 up to $475,000.

Who lives there?

In the 1960s, the community was once home to the late entertainer Jackie Gleason.

A section of an avenue is named for former resident Alex Penelas, the former mayor of Miami-Dade County who now lives in Miami Lakes, Fernandez said.
