| 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. By 1923, Fisher and his colleagues had opened three big golf courses. Tourists loved the new courses. In World War II, the U.S. Army rented the course for $1 a year as a training ground, and helmeted, rifle-toting soldiers ran through the course’s palm trees amid the smoke from smoke grenades. In 1944, Chicago investors moved to buy the course, planning to build 650 upscale homes there; disapproving neighbors persuaded the city to condemn and buy the land and keep the golf course. In 1954, the ornate, Mediterranean clubhouse that Fisher had built on the course was replaced by a new one. Forty-Eight years later the remodeling task has gone a few steps further than new furniture and a fresh coat of paint. At age 79, Miami Beach’s signature Bayshore Golf Course received a $10 million face-lift. |
