Thursday Afternoon Golf: ARIAS has arranged for group golf tee times at The Biltmore Golf Course in Coral Gables, which is a historic, 18-hole championship course designed by Donald Ross in 1925. Nestled alongside the iconic Biltmore Hotel, it features lush fairways, challenging water hazards, and stunning scenery, making it a premier destination for golfers of all skill levels. With its timeless elegance and top-tier facilities, the course offers a world-class golfing experience in the heart of Miami. Please note: a minimum of 12 players is required.
The Biltmore charges $220 plus 7% sales tax, for a total of $235.40 for each player. We are collecting the fee for The Biltmore through the registration process. If we do not meet the minimum, we will refund the golf fee. The group golf tee time will be held Thursday, May 1, after the final morning session. If you need to rent clubs the cost is $99 plus tax and you will pay that individually to the course. Please register on the registration form if you plan on golfing.
Tennis: ARIAS has not made arrangements for tennis based on the survey responses. Attendees may contact the concierge to reserve a court (2 hours free). To reserve in advance, there is a $50 per hour charge. If you are interested in tennis, please contact the concierge directly.
