Big Five Club

Big Five Club is a Cuban-American social club in Miami, Florida.

Early history
The Big Five Club was established in Miami, Florida by Cuban exiles on October 10, 1967, following the 1959 Revolution. Manuel R. Morales Gomez was the founding president of the club.

The original 20-acre property was a tract of land in what was formerly the unincorporated Dade area west of Miami.

The club was composed of former members of five of Havana's top yacht and golf clubs. Originally, a family was considered for membership only if there was a connection to the five biggest private clubs in pre-revolutionary Havana - the Biltmore Yacht and Country Club, Havana Yacht Club, the Miramar Yacht Club, Vedado Tennis Club, and Casino Español de La Habana. The policy was eventually changed by a newer class of Cubans.

By 1991, its membership list included 1,600 families.
