Kendale Lakes Golf & Country Club hired Mark Mahannah to design a 4 golf course complex and construction began in 1970. In February 1972, Kendale Lakes Golf & Country Club opened an 18-hole golf course. Kendale Lakes Golf & Country Club added an executive 18-hole course in the summer of 1972 southwest of the main facility (see Kendall Lakes West Golf Course for details). By 1974, the main facility added another 9 holes. So by 1974, Kendale Lakes Golf & Country Club had 4 golf courses:

East Course - 9 holes, part of the original 18 hole course that opened in February 1972.
South Course - 9 holes, part of the original 18 hole course that opened in February 1972.
West Course - 18 executive holes, opened in the summer of 1972.
North Course - 9 holes, opened by 1974.



The Kendale Lakes Golf & Country Club - South Course had a layout of 9 holes, par 36, 3435 yards and was nicknamed the Emerald Course.

In 1986, National Golf Properties purchased the facility and had American Golf Corp. manage the facility.

On January 8, 1997, National Golf Properties sold Kendale Lakes Golf & Country Club to the Miami National Golf Club and the Kendale Lakes Golf & Country Club - South Course became the Miami National Golf Club - Marlin Course and it maintained the original layout.

On May 30, 2001, Miami National Golf Club sold the facility to the Miccosukee tribe and the National Golf Club - Marlin Course became the Miccosukee Golf and Country Club - Marlin Course. Currently, the Miccosukee Golf and Country Club - Marlin Course has a layout of 9 holes, par 36, 3581 yards from the black tees.

The Miccosukee Golf and Country Club Marlin and Dolphin courses were the 18 holes used for many professional tournaments.

In 1972, Kendale Lakes Golf & Country Club opened and eventually had 27 regulation holes. Today it is known as the Miccosukee Golf and Country Club.  In addition to the main facility of 27 holes, Kendale Lakes Golf & Country Club, in the summer of 1972, opened an 18-hole executive golf course, just southwest of the main facility and it was a par 60, 3105 yard course called Kendale Lakes Golf & Country Club - West Course - Executive Golf Course. Since Mark Mahannah designed the main 27 holes, it is assumed that Mark Mahannah was also the designer of the Kendale Lakes Golf & Country Club - West Course - Executive Golf Course.

Kendale Lakes Golf & Country Club - West Course - Executive Golf Course was closed in the early 1980s.

Kendale Lakes Golf & Country Club - West Course - Executive Golf Course reopened as Kendall Lakes West Golf Course* in the mid 1990s as a 9-hole executive course with a mini course.  Kendall Lakes West Golf Course had a short life span and closed in the early 2000s.
