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.

Challenging course
I usually play from the senior tees, but we played the white tees this time of 6500 yds. Alot of right to left holes, and were very tight driving holes. The greens were not very fast, but very firm and hard to hold on approach shots. The fees of over $200 was high for non residents. I had fun, but the challenge of the course requires you to use the correct tees.
Good course, course was in good condition. Total club house was closed by 5. Had to use the maintenance bathroom when leaving!
Great golf so close to Downtown Miami
Short drive from downtown for some great golf. Course in great condition for a public course , will plan to return.
FIRE THE MANAGERS!!!
The title says it all. Great piece of land being run into the ground. They keep raising prices and the customer service is horrible and getting worse. 0/100 experience at the restaurant and average of 5/100 in the pro shop. Long lines, low staff, 10-15 minutes each person at the front desk. Front desk guy said the managers are in the back doing nothing. Phones ringing, nobody’s answering. Really disappointing to see what’s happening. Corporate money grab yet again. Start putting the paying customer first. Fire the entire staff and start over. STOP raising prices if you’re not going to raise customer service as well. 🗑️🚮
Very Nice
Worth the drive. Greens, fairways, bunkers and tee boxes were in excellent condition. Took a while to get there and price was a little steep but overall good value and great golf
Beautiful course
The layout is still as great as before, but now with brand new tees, greens, bunkers, making the experience even better. 100% recommended
Challenging
Great lay out, challenging
OK conditions on green and fairways
Around the greens no so much
South Florida gem
What a great course in a great condition! The course is challenging with the layout and distance therefore choose your tees wisely. The fairways and tee boxes were in a very good condition, greens were awesome! I’d say overall it was on par with Trump International Doral but I liked Crandon better based on the setting and layout. I got to see two crocodiles which was a nice bonus.
Very disappointed
When I went to book this course, I thought the third beautiful view of the ocean around us. But there’s not The trees block the view of the ocean The fairways were pretty rough condition. The greens, the sand traps and lakes were beautiful. Lots of iguanas which we need to see
Always a fun course
I had not played Crandon in a couple of years. Course was in good shape and the staff are great. Not sure when they went up on the price but 225.00 during the week is a little steep.
Pleasantly surprised
Based on some of the reviews I was strongly considering cancelling g my tee time. We are tourists and arrived early for breakfast, staff was so friendly and breakfast was great. Also ate lunch after our round and the food and service was great again. To be honest, I am a little bit of a golf snob, played some of the best courses in the world. This course is challenging , amazing layout and beautiful views and lots of wildlife. Yes , the course has a little wear and tear , but overall I strongly recommend this course. Don’t believe the negative reviews. All of the stafff was so friendly and accommodating. Especially the female starter.
Course in good condition overall greens rolling good but a bit on the slower side.You can still see they're still renovating some grass around the green on some holes.Saw 2 gators on shore so if your not a fan of them consider going elsewhere.
