Crandon Golf at Key Biscayne
Rating Snapshot
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.

3rd par 3 over water great hole Photo submitted by neilcolton on 11/11/2012
Nice views, so-so service.
Took about 20min to check in. The system they have won’t allow you to check in easily and you should plan accordingly to arrive early before round. Greens are suspect.
CRANDON (KEY BISCAYNE)
One off the best Open-to-the-Public courses in Miami. It is long but wide, with clear differentiation between the tee category. Drink cart came by frequently.
Slow but incredibly well maintained.
Very slow round when you consider you are paying 200$+. No food at the 9 , cart girl barely comes around and the day was extremely hot.
The course is Perfectly maintained. The layout is nice , fun course.
Excellent public course option near downtown Miami
Very enjoyable course on Key Biscayne surrounded by mangroves with views of the city. Interesting layout…few trick and tricky holes for first time players. Greens were firm, fast with interesting slopes for FL. Fairway conditions could be improved but overall would definitely recommend given relatively few good public courses in the area.
The course was not in a condition that would justify $140 green fee. $60 at the most in my opinion.
Poorly managed
They will dramatically overbook the course and blame the patrons for slow play. Some of the staff are just terrible, some are good. If you get a cart, expect them to hector you to end your round at least 1.5hrs before sunset. Really. But it is a beautiful place.
Worth the drive
Not sure where the bad reviews come from. The course is in good condition, greens were great and pace if play was fine.
Challenge from any coconut you choose
Mid-week tee time
Cart girl ✅
Fast greens ✅
Range✅
100% would play again.
Great day of golf
Yiu read all these negative reviews. Is the course perfect no but it has a beautiful layout very challenging and just fun to play. Pace was a little slow but still played in 4 hours. A bit expensive but imagine the cost of this location. The staff was amazing very kind every step of the way. I had a great time if you love to have a good time and love golf I recommend highly
The staff and volunteers are amazingly knowledgeable about golf. However the pace of play when crowded on holidays needs to be addressed.
