Crandon Golf at Key Biscayne
Rating Snapshot
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.

Too bad we allowed pace of play to be so slow
We booked a 136 tee tome ona Friday after noon, play well and paired with similar golfers. Walkers inf ro t of us who did not keep up. Excruciating pace...no idea they were holding up course and no ranger in sight.
Beautiful layout
This is one of the most beautiful courses in the state of Florida, as it leverages the natural beauty of Key Biscayne. If you are a non-resident, be prepared to pay a high rate to play. If you are more about the golf than the scenery - and budget is a factor - there are better options in the area.
Well maintained and beautiful course definitely a course to check out
Crandon never disappoints
This is Miami's best and most difficult golf course. It plays pretty long, even from the whites. For my round winds were at 15-20mph, which made it feel nice and breezy on a warm day, but also made the game extra difficult. Many times I had to club up by two or three to account for the wind in my face. Some of the greens had decent patches of sand, that's the only negative. The pace of play was outstanding.
Challenging
Challenging, many groups in front of me, took me 4 hours to play 18 holes.
Forrest, iguana, lakes and mosquitoes, I will come back asap.
Not your typical golf course.
Poor management
Unable to finish our round and told to finish our round on #15. Not a single marshal all day and had to wait on every shot. Nothing was being monitored on the course. I drove 1 1/2 hrs to play this course and I will not do it again.
Black Shirt and Rain day
Hi , in my experience in key biscayn starter didn’t let me play because I was wearing a black shirt I ask him a solution and he tell my bought a shirt or I refund your money . I was alredy in the club car ready to my tee time so I bought a shirt in the pro shop . The greens are trash .
Also they let my only play 8 holes because it was raining when I ask them for my refund of 9 holes they tell my talk with GolfNow .
Bad day, bad greens, bad experience
