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.

Awful

We book a tee time at 10h but nobody said that there is a private competition before

We spend 5h35 to play 18 holes with the cart

It s not fair for the players who pay full fare

One of our friend was sick and golf now doesn't want to refund my money so just book your tee time before going to golf because you will never know what s happen

Extreme conditions

With wind over 35 mph and 53 F ( in Miami) it was a tough day out there, however course layout and maintenance were excellent. Personnel is friendly.

This is a course to be played when you are at the top of your game...if not, it can be frustrating.

Awesome course!

This place was so cool. Felt like I was in the Bahamas while playing a great course. Great layout, great par threes. Can't wait to come back. Lots of wild life. Saw crocodile on #4. Biggest iguanas ever. Sweet view of Miami from 17-18. Favorite of the five courses I played while in area. Best value for the money too. Even though pricey. Totally worth it.

Must Play Again!

This course offers a military discount. The staff from the Pro Shop to the maintenance people was outstanding. The course although long is receptive to good shots, the greens have undulations but are fair. Most greens are well protected by bunkers.

best course in miami.

Great /challenging course. I arrived just before my team time and got right out on the course. Folks in the club house and the starter were very nice.

Great value for the money when compared to Trump's Blue Monster at three times the cost and Great White. Twice the price.

Staff out on the course could have been more courteous. Still a great time all things considered. I will definitely play here again.

Good course but over priced

The greens are very good with fairways in OK conditions. The layouts are good with few very long holes and a lot of doglegs. The course is at the Biscayne Bay so some holes are quiet
smelly. Also, there are many mosquitoes in the summer so it may be a good idea to spray some bug repellent first. Overall, the course is good and fun to play but it's way over priced.

I think the course was overrated. The greens were punched 2 weeks prior to playing but still in rough shape.

WINdy

The course it's self was In prestige condition green were great but extremely fast fairways also in great condition they're is a variety of hole styles this is the type of course that no matter how many times you play it it is almost impossible to remember the all the turns hill mangroves and bunkers in play I rated the course a 4 simply do to the fact that most times you come play here there's gonna be massive wind and a lot of times do to the ocean that wind will be in your face.

Most memorable hole was a 155yd par 3 that really plays like a 260 yd par 3 I hit a 3 wood into the wind and barely made it over the water...... Good luck play good and enjoy the views

tough course

This is a very challenging course.
The wind is a factor throughout the entire round.
Greens are very difficult.
The course is long, has many hazards.
Bring your best game.

Difficulty in the sun

On a wonderfully sunny day , I along with a local golfer and 2 Canadiens played this wonderful golf Course. Right from the start with the friendly staff, I knew I would get what iI wanted. The fairways were immaculate and the greens were fast and undulating. Views were spectacular.I had played this course years before but did not remember it , so Mark the local's knowledge was invaluable. Even with that, the speed of the greens got all of us, but the greens were true if you got the right speed. Can't wait to play again.
