Subtle but enticing, Crandon is a well-planned challenge built in 1972 by Robert von Hagge and Bruce Devlin. In 1993, a redesign by von Hagge brought new greens and bunker configurations. Formerly known as "The Links at Key Biscayne" Crandon Park Golf Course is a championship 18-hole golf course located on the "island paradise" of Key Biscayne, just 10 minutes from downtown Miami.

The course has the world's largest tee, seven saltwater lakes, challenging sand traps, mangrove thickets, and many holes overlooking Biscayne Bay.

You can see crocodiles (they have three), numerous raccoons and Jurassic-sized iguanas darting across the course. The blue and tri-colored herons, white ibises, snowy egrets, pelicans and anhinga grace the fairway roughs and saltwater banks.

From the first hole - a dogleg par 5 that requires a drive over water and mangroves - to the last - another par 5 with water on both sides of the fairway - Crandon Park Golf Course has, in many ways, become Miami-Dade's signature public golf course.

Worth a try

I actually played the course twice on my visit to Key Biscayne (used GolfNow the second time and saved over $100).

Course was in generally good condition with a few areas in need of additional TLC. Beautiful layout and plenty of challenge for all skill levels. The staff were wonderful as were the amenities.

Really enjoyable couple of rounds and would recommend players give it a try when in town (but def use the GolfNow app!)

Nice but very very very slow

We had no fun and were unhappy because you can not concentrate when you have to wait 5-10 minutes between every shot

Downhill since spring of 2023

The staff is great. All around, proshop and restaurant.
But the course that once was considered 4th best public course in the US is long gone. Over $100 paid in greenfee but plays more like $30. Full of weeds, lack of turf in fairways, undulated tees and greens with a lot of bare spots. You would’ve thought that with Melresse closing, the county would take advantage and try to get more play.

A little snooty and closed early

Course was beautiful! Reception at clubhouse was very curt and gave me the feeling I should be honored to play there. Similar reception at driving range and purchasing beverage from the cart on the course. Was prepared to pay the $180 but club rental for $85 way out of range from other courses. Most importantly, was informed (after the $300 investment) the cart was due back in at 5:30–2 hours before sunset. Since we were backed up for most of the round— only able to finish 14 holes. A 1:45 start should have got us done plenty before sunset but not given the slow play. My expectations for a $300 round are extremely high. I have had a better experience paying $100. Too bad for such a beautiful course!

Beautful course

Staff are great the courses in great shape can't complain the thing about the course but to charge a non-resident $110 more to play I think is unfair especially the revenue we bring in to South Florida

Good course, glad I paid half the normal greens fees though

Cool course on a windy day. A couple of really well laid out holes. Paid $80 for the round. Would’ve felt incredibly ripped off if we paid $200, which is the stated rate. The course is in no condition to be that price. Lots of dragging spike marks on the greens and inconsistent conditioning.

A perfectly fine conditioned public course and again a good design, but $80 is the max a greens fee should be here.

Challenging and fun

Course is long and challenging. It tempts you to take chances driving over water or when navigating dog legs. Great scenery, wild life, and view of Miami. Bring bug spray around twilight.

Miami golf

Plenty of wild life and alligators to keep you
interested. Greens were in good shape but putt speeds varied from green to green.

Overall Ok course

Loaner clubs were excellent. Course was OK. Some bad spots but overall Ok to play. Holes 1 and 7 tee boxes are way too close together for seniors. Golf carts were horrible. Staff were friendly. Course is a little overpriced for the level of quality at this time. Perhaps it will improve by spring.

Disappointed

I was very disappointed in the quality and maintenance of this course. Plus, the staff was less than welcoming. Even the cart girl was not friendly. When I pay $170 for a round, I expect the best course conditions, outstanding customer service and a special outing. That did not happen. I will not return or recommend this course to my friends and family.
