Award-winning South Florida resort honored for exceptional golf experiences
AVENTURA, Florida – The iconic JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa has earned the prestigious Distinguished Golf Destination Designation of Elite Status, recognizing the resort’s landmark golf courses.
From BoardRoom Magazine, in partnership with Forbes Travel Guide, this merit-based designation recognizes exceptional golf courses that provide the highest standards of top-tier service, amenities, facilities, and the dedication of team members that make the golf experience unmatched.
This award places JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa and Turnberry Isle Country Club’s golf courses among the top three percent globally.
“It is an honor to be recognized and granted Elite Status for our golf courses from BoardRoom Magazine and Forbes Travel Guide,” says Raj Mohan, Vice President and Managing Director of JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa. “We are grateful for the recognition of our award-winning courses and our exceptional team members who care for our facilities and guests.
“This outstanding award is a testament to the unrivaled golf experience that we offer at JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa and Turnberry Isle Country Club.”
Nestled within the resort’s lush tropical landscape, two world-class 18-hole golf courses, meticulously redesigned by renowned architect Raymond Floyd, offer an exceptional blend of championship play and refined amenities in an exclusive, private setting.
Originally conceived by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and reimagined through a $46 million transformation, the Soffer and Miller Courses invite both members and resort guests to enjoy award-winning golf in a serene environment where indigenous flora creates a natural sense of seclusion.
Featuring Platinum Paspalum greens for faster, more consistent play, the courses are designed to challenge and inspire: strategically placed tee boxes that demand both power and precision, contoured fairways, sweeping doglegs, subtly undulating greens, and well-positioned hazards, delivering a dynamic and rewarding round for players of all skill levels.
The location of Arnold Palmer’s first Senior PGA Tour win, the property’s two courses have hosted the PGA and LPGA tours on 11 separate occasions.
“Excellence is not an act, but a habit, and JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa has made excellence a habit in every aspect of their facility,” says John Fornaro, Publisher and Co-founder of BoardRoom Magazine. “Congratulations to Mr. Raj Mohan and his entire team on their remarkable achievement in demonstrating exceptional management, providing an outstanding golf experience, and maintaining high-quality facilities.
“The hard work and commitment of this team have truly set a benchmark for others to follow and exemplify what a Distinguished Golf Destination should be.”
