Gogo's take on Central Country Club
“Go. Central Country Club is a quiet, predominantly residential suburban community in northwest Miami-Dade County centered around classic golf courses. Violent crime is relatively low, though visitors should take standard precautions against opportunistic property and vehicle crimes common to the broader metro area.”
About the area
Central Country Club offers a relaxed, palm-lined residential atmosphere defined by townhome developments, single-family subdivisions, and the fairways of the Country Club of Miami. While it lacks a dense urban commercial core, it serves as a tranquil, middle-class suburban hub with easy highway connectivity.
