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.

Best public course in Miami
This is by far the best and toughest public course in Miami. Worth every Penny if you can get a good deal on Golfnow.
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.
Always very good
Court is in very good condition and is amusing to play. It fit every level of player: must visit at least once in your holiday
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.
It was ok
I think the course was overrated. The greens were punched 2 weeks prior to playing but still in rough shape.
Great course
Have played courses all over the country and this course ranks near the top!
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
Nice course
Very nice course, lovely to play! Good overall conditions (Fwys, greens, ...).
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.
This course is great for the money.
Great course and the scenery is amazing. One complaint would be to bring bug spray!
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.
Hard course, nice placee to be
Unfortunately we had a very windy day so the course was long from the white Tees. Course in good shape, but a little bit too much sand on some greens. Some great holes, some nice views, especially on 18. Good value as a hot deal for 70 $,
Good course, bad staff people
Cant play the 18th holes because they start taking off the flag at 18:45! And in the 17th they said that we should end, because they need to close at 19:35
Beautiful Course
This course is a very tough but fair layout, and the scenery around the course is spectacular
A day at the beach
Don't let the title detour you this course was in good shape for the this time of year. My son and I had a great time despite the windy conditions. This was by far the most challenging course the two if us have played. Our forecaddie said it is rated the third most difficult municipal in the country, I believe it!
Beautiful scenery, wildlife, and all within a short drive from downtown Miami. Lots of sand and would have like to play with a little less wind but all and all a once in a lifetime experience.
Best course in Miami
The course is awesome. You have to have your day to play the handicap ...
Needs a lot of work
For $45 this would have been an ok value. Great layout and very good greens. The fairways were in terrible condition and the bunkers were like cement and filled with rocks. Expected a whole lot better, glad I wasn't paying full price
