Notes

The City of Miami opened LeJeune Golf Course in April 1961 with 9 holes.

On November 3, 1962 the second set of 9 holes was opened on the LeJeune Golf Course.

LeJeune Golf Course was designed by Dick Wilson and Joe Lee.

The property was assembled from a section of the LeJeune Garden Estates residential neighborhood and thus was called LeJeune Golf Course.

In 1966, the golf course was redesigned by Robert Trent Jones due to the construction of a nearby expressway.

In 1973, LeJeune Golf Course was renamed Mel Reese Golf Course to honor former city manager and golf enthusiast Melvin Reese.

In 1995, Mel Reese Golf Course closed as one of the worst conditioned layouts in all of South Florida as it had withstood two major hurricanes, had no sprinkler system and no money was being put into it for upkeep. It was a losing deal for the City of Miami.

In 1996 and 1997, Mel Reese Golf Course underwent a Charles Mahannah $3.5M renovation and reopened in October 1997 with a layout of 18/71/7173 and was renamed International Links Miami.

During the summer months of 2014 the International Links Miami-Melreese Country Club underwent a $2,130,000 renovation.
