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.

This course is just a little TLC away from being one of the great courses. Tee boxes are roughed up a bit but the layout is great! However still I don’t think it’s worth the money you pay. There are a lot better courses out there to play for way cheaper and have it all.

Mediocre

Course is fine. I paid less than the rack rate and would’ve been disappointed to pay full fare. Staff not very pleasant nor helpful. Many blind shots makes scoring difficult. Pace of play poor and no Marshall in sight. Traps plentiful but inconsistent- some have sand some do not. Not a boring course- very long from the tips, plenty of room for length and forgiving enough…

Stormy day

The course is very good to play. It is quite challenging. Despite the short rain, we enjoyed the round much. The pro shop was helpful.

The restaurant was disappointing. They could not sell food for lunch to golfers quickly. It slowed down the play much. I will bring my food in future.

Nice golf course

First time in Crandon Golf Course, we really enjoyed.

The course is very nice in the Park with a lot of nature , water and animals; it's very quiet.

Nice view also to the sea and Miami buildings.

We will play again there!

The original price is very high and we used Golf Now to beneficiate better price.

Thank you

Course was in fantastic shape and the greens rolled true and were fast. We’re entertained by 4 crocodiles throughout the course! Very enjoyable round. I highly recommend a round of golf at Crandon golf course!

Tough course

Do not expect a “Bluemonster” conditions but what a golf course! It is testing your abilities at an extreme level.. course is in good conditions. We paid 62$ with golfnow …so I cannot say anything against the cost but can say that I love it especially when I bring friends over. They usually play 10 shots over their handicap…

A fun and challenging course

The greens are a little sandy on that day but the speeds are very good. It's a fun and challenging course with a hefty price tag. Have you thought about why such a good course doesn't attract many players?

Great layout

We where lucky to book at a reduced price.

The course was in good to excellent condition

Greens - perfect and fast

Faiway - average

Tee-ogg - very good

Pace of play was fabulous

Clubhouse - needs love

Restaurant - fast service, nice terrace and friendly staff

However…we would not pay the rack rate. Too expensive for what’s offered

Enjoy the view !

The course was poorly maintained, dirty and smelly with racoons coming out to our cart on one hole while we were on the green. It was not an enjoyable outing.

We had played there several years ago and remembered it as one of the better courses. No more.

Excellent Track

I had not played here in 30 years and glad I had a chance to play again. This track is very challenging and the layout is fantastic. If you can grab a hot deal on Golf Now it is well worth the price.
