Crandon Golf at Key Biscayne
About
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.

Golfer Reviews
Don’t waste your money
The course conditions were extremely poor damage on the greens and in the fairways. My friend canceled the day of due to rain, when I checked in, I spoke to the pro shop and they stated I would not be charged for the second player. After the round when I got back, I was in charge for the second player. When I spoke to the pro shop, they said there was nothing they could do even though the course was in poor conditions had a King tide issue on four of their holes
What a dump
No amenities and the course is in a swamp that smells of garbage. The greens are bare and unputtable. All the fairways were muddy and bare as well. The entire course is unkept and for them to have the audacity to charge over $150 for a municipal course is obscene. Stay away from this scam while there are real courses close by
Great layout
Layout is amazing. Greens now are to slow. Difficult to play with green to slow. It seems that they were aerated recently.
It’s a must do! For sure I ll be back.
$400 round for $20 service
My biggest disappointment with Crandon Golf Course was the complete lack of service and amenities, especially considering what they charge. We paid nearly $400 for two players to play 18 holes, and from the moment we arrived, the experience simply did not match the price.
When we pulled up, there was nobody there to greet us, nobody to help unload our golf bags, and nobody to assist with putting our bags onto the cart. We were basically left to handle everything ourselves. I’ve played plenty of courses that cost significantly less and received 10x better service and hospitality.
Then, to add salt to the wound, the carts weren’t stocked with tees, there were no towels, and there wasn’t even ice in the ice bucket despite it being 90+ degrees in Miami. These may sound like small things individually, but when you’re charging close to $200 per player, those details matter. They’re part of what separates a premium golf experience from simply paying a premium price.
I’m not expecting to be treated like royalty, but I do expect the experience to somewhat justify the cost. At Crandon, I honestly found myself wondering: what exactly am I paying this much for? I’ve paid far less at other South Florida courses and received considerably better service, amenities, and overall hospitality.
The course itself may have its positives, but from a service and value standpoint, this was easily one of the most disappointing golf experiences I’ve had for the money.
Great Public Course
The fairways are in excellent shape, and many holes were challenging for the average golfer. A few greens had some burn spots, but overall were in fairly good shape as well. I found the front 9 to be a little easier than the back 9 which makes sense, since the back 9 is longer and has more Par 5's. On a hot day you will struggle to finish even from the whites.
Outstanding
Really enjoyed the round!! Everything was fantastic except a raccoon stole some of my crackers.
Nice course; poor conditions
The course layout is great, but the conditions could be better.
Good course, very overpriced.
It’s a tough course to maintain due to its location I’m sure. I’ve played it a few times and I don’t think the greens have ever been in good shape. Great layout and scenery however.
Fine
Layout was cool, but they sanded the greens and didn’t say anything on GOLFNOW or at check-in. Found out on the 1st green. Pretty disappointing considering I drove over an hour and paid $180.
Horrible Conditions
I have the patron card which is like the membership card for Crandon. Even having this they charge a steep $148.00 for the round. Conditions are awful even though theres like 400 workers around the course pretending to work. None of the workers respected to stop cutting grass around the greens or fairways. Fairways looked like rough and rough looked like Jumanji. It sucks for Crandon to have the guts to disrespect golfers paying top dollars and having such a bad maintenance of the course.
I volunteered there for 6 years. One of the best courses in the country but........It's run by volunteers. It's a public course so they don't prioritize customer service unfortunately. It's always been an issue
