Fancy a scenic round of golf at one of Miami's most beautiful golf courses?

Whether you're a pro or a newcomer, there's no better way to spend a fine morning in West Miami!

Say hello to the famous Granada Golf Course, a nine-hole Par 36 located outside Coral Gables' downtown area, just a 5-minute drive from West Miami.

Offering a dreamy private club atmosphere and Granada's unique local flavor, the Granada Golf Course, laid out by famed course designer Donald Ross, arguably has the best 9-hole track in the area, perfect for golf newbies who prefer (and need) an uncomplicated layout!

And aside from the unpretentious golfing experience, the Granada Golf Course is revered for its beautiful, picture-perfect ambiance of beautiful palms and banyan trees all around, injecting a romantic vibe to your golf session for two with your BOO!

Nothing like tee-ing up in style, I always say!

2) Escape the Miami heat at Coral Gables' Venetian Pool 

2701 De Soto Blvd, Coral Gables, FL 33134

Forget about beaches and country clubs — if you're looking to cool off amidst Miami's scorching heat, you've got one of Coral Gables' most iconic tourist attractions at the tip of your fingers!

Take a dip in the Venetian Pool, a beautiful oasis inspired by Mediterranean architecture, just 5 minutes from West Miami!

The ONLY swimming pool in the U.S. with a spot on the NRHP (National Register of Historic Places), the Venetian Pool was originally a limestone rock quarry created by George Merrick to be a local hangout, where you'll find swaying palm trees, coral rock formations, whimsical waterfalls, and interesting caves to explore.

The Venetian Pool is large enough to hold 820,000 gallons of fresh water from an underground aquifer, drawing water from artesian wells in the summer, and remains the perfect place to cool off and swim, especially during the hot and humid days of Florida weather!

And aside from "actual swimming," you and your date can soak up some Coral Gables history through a series of pictures hanging at the entryway while you're at it!
