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.

Beat course in Miami!

Crandon is by far the best and most beautiful course in Miami. Staff can be intense but that’s usually only on the first two holes. Ignore them, keep going and enjoy the scenery and the golf.

Course is not maintained at all right now

I was super disappointed with the condition of the course - fairways, greens, teeboxes, everything. The entire course was dried out and the grass was dead everywhere. No point in hitting the fairway since you can't hit off of dead grass.

There were no marshalls on the course holding people accountable to the 4 hour window they should be finishing 18 holes in, and it took us 5 hours and 15 minutes to play.

Unless the course does right by its customers (us), I can't see myself returning to this course.

Not as good as advertised

I heard a lot of glowing things about this course before I played it, but it wasn’t as advertised. The fairways, greens, and tees were not at the quality level for the full price. It was decent for what I paid to play. But, I would have been disappointed if I had paid the full $95. The club house and even the driving range set you up for a better experience than the course delivers. The grass on the fairways is not even in quality or cut, the sand traps have stones in them, and the first cut on the greens is too high. The only saving grace is that the speed of the greens, though slow, are fairly consistent. I would recommend the course to others, but make sure they understand what they are getting for the dollar.

This course is a great challenge.

This course was a great challenge; however, my game of play was not the best it could have been due to cart path only. Select fairways could’ve been 90 degree play. The excessive walking took a lot out of the play.. Despite all, I look forward to playing it again.

Bravo

Wow, great layout on terrific shape. The setting is extraordinary and the wildlife is certainly something I’ve never encountered!

Highly recommend this course but it is a very tough golf course. Distance control is crucial to low scoring.

PLAY ANYWHERE BUT HERE

COURSE IS DESTROYED, should be closed. They will charge you full price and say it’s your fault you decided to drive to their course. Guy in pro shop said he’s the owner (embarrassed for him it’s a county owned facility he thinks because I’m young I will believe anything) Listen, you’re better off taking your bag and a bucket of range balls to crandon beach and hitting them into the ocean than you are booking a tee time here. Conditions are terrible from tee to green gps on carts is 10+ yds off compared to laser, no course management or knowledge the starter didnt even know what day it was or what a double dog leg is.... JUST PLAY ANYWHERE BUT HERE DONT GIVE THIS COURSE ANY MONEY THEY DONT CARE ABOUT THEIR GUEST.

The absolute worst customer service + course you can play

Greens are torn up, u can’t putt on them. When asked for a replay when things are better was told no... lost business forever. Will never play here again gm got in my face over asking for a refund stating he owns the property( owned by the city ) what a joke Trump was right this course is destroyed beyond repair
