Frequently Asked Questions
I see Tiburón has both a Black and a Gold Course. Which one should I play, or what's the main difference?
You'll find the Gold Course offers a more classic Florida golf experience, with wider fairways and a slightly more forgiving layout. The Black Course, however, demands precision with its tighter lines and more strategic bunkering, often playing tougher, especially if you're not on your A-game.
When is the best time of year to plan a golf trip to Tiburón for the best weather and course conditions?
We highly recommend visiting Tiburón between November and May. During these months, you'll enjoy fantastic, dry weather with comfortable temperatures, perfect for walking the courses without the intense summer humidity. Just be aware that this is peak season, so book your tee times well in advance.
I'm not a scratch golfer. Will I still enjoy playing at Tiburón, or is it too challenging for average players?
While both courses can certainly test your game, especially from the back tees, Tiburón is surprisingly playable for all skill levels if you choose the right tees. We suggest playing from a forward set to truly enjoy the immaculate conditions and strategic design without feeling overwhelmed.
What should I expect to pay for a round at Tiburón, and are there any tips for getting a better value?
Expect green fees at Tiburón to be on the higher end, often ranging from $200-$350+ during peak season, reflecting its championship pedigree and pristine upkeep. Your best bet for value is to look for twilight rates or inquire about stay-and-play packages if you're staying at the Ritz-Carlton or other partner resorts nearby.
What makes Tiburón Golf Club stand out from other high-end courses in Florida, beyond just the golf?
Beyond the exceptional course conditions, Tiburón truly shines with its championship atmosphere, often hosting PGA Tour and LPGA Tour events like the QBE Shootout. You'll experience top-tier service from the moment you arrive, making you feel like a pro for the day.
