Located near Fort Lauderdale in Aventura, Turnberry Isle underwent a $100 million renovation in 2006. The hotel, set on the Atlantic Ocean, is reminiscent of a palatial private estate featuring terra-cotta tiles and pastel color schemes in its rooms. Four restaurants and five lounges serve delectable seafood and continental dishes. Two Robert Trent Jones, Sr. golf courses provide a challenge, while the famous Island Green 18th hole continues to be one of the more difficult holes. Turnberry’s two tennis centers are often counted among the country’s best.
