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.

.beautiful but tough

Course is well maintained with good tees, fairways, and greens. Conditions are behind reproach. Fees are a bit high but in keeping with what they offer.
My only problem is the difficulty of the course. I am a 15 handicap and it is too tough to allow for an enjoyable round. A 10 or below handicap should enjoy this course or maybe masochists.

This course is very nice and well maintained !

Very challenging course depending of the tee box you play and the wind condition.

Green are in top chape condition and very fast.

Great course for a better price!

Other than some of the tee boxes were a bit ratty, the overall course is a great layout, very challenging, especially when the wind blows (which seems on Key Biscayne, it's always!) The price at $49/person is a great value. For a local, it is annoying that they require fore caddies (tho after 1pm it's optional)...but they do a great job reading greens, raking traps, putting sand in divots, all of which helps pace of play. It was car path only when we played, which probably keep golfers away, but we did finish the round in less than 4:30 which is average for Crandon Park. Lastly, I was diappointed the clubhouse refused to give the other cart (who had a guy with a bad knee and hip) a handicap flag so he didn't have to do cart path only. He started dragging toward the end of the round, althought he wind was really blowing hard after 4pm.

Super Course if you can get a GolfNow Deal - its fantastic

Course is in great shape, and very difficult from the tips. The wind was blowing a nit that day, and I assume that was normal. No homes on the course, so it feels very relaxing and like the way golf should be. A ton of water comes into play on many of the holes. Greens were not lighting quick, so I left my first 5 putts short...and less break than you may read. Hit them firm at the cup.
I am def. going back ! If I can get it under 80Bucks.

My Favorite Course in the Area

The design of the course is imaginative, sufficiently challenging and in all round great shape. However the feature which differentiates this course from almost all the others in the area is the setting. Holes played adjacent to the water with some wonderful sea views to a distant Miami. No house lined fairways. Plenty of wildlife ( including the odd gator ). A really nice golfing experience. The Golf Now Hot Deal offers excellent value.

Beautiful Course

Crandon is a beautiful course for a muni. There is abundant wildlife and it is usually pretty well maintained. My only real complaint is that the pace of play is almost unbearably slow, especially during the high tourist season. If you've never played it, I highly recommend trying it out, as it provides an entertaining afternoon and a challenging course.

WOW is all that needs to be said....

This has to be one of the best courses in South Florida.
It is very challenging even from the forward green tees and I would suggest that you play from a yardage that you feel very comfortable with. The views and wildlife are spectacular and one should look around while on the course and enjoy them.

Spectacular scenery combined with a great layout

From the very first tee, the scenery is immaculate with pristine fairway conditions and greens. There is more water than land on this course but each hole is different. The greens were slow (9.5), but still ran true and the meandering cart paths which take you through mangrove swamps and out across hills and fairways make the experience even more enjoyable than the golf. I would highly recommend coming to Crandon to experience this course. Recently under new management, he even promised that the greens would get faster soon and the pro shop updated further.

A must play...breathtaking views!!

I absolutely love this course. Since this is peak season, the regular green fees are $192, but I was able to get a tee time for $41! You cannot beat this price, especially for this course. The greens were in excellent condition and the fairways were pristine. The best part about playing this course are the views you see of Miami....absolutely breathtaking! Looking forward to playing one more time before my vacation ends.
