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.

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.
