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.

Golfer Reviews
Hermoso campo en maravilloso entorno
Es un hermoso campo de golf, en un entorno maravilloso, con vistas al océano y a Miami Downtown espectaculares.
Vale la pena el gasto…
Most overpriced course I have ever played considering the conditions
I travel for work and I have played a lot of different courses and I have no issues with paying premium prices, but the condition of the course is beyond terrible. While I understand that the area hasn’t seen a great deal of water and that’s what’s led to the burnt fairways, the weeds in the first cut is inexcusable.
Additionally, the cart girl passed me up because she was too engulfed in her phone to even notice I was even in the vicinity.
Needless to say, I will never play this course again.
Way too slow pace
Course has a challenging layout with plenty of distance and strategic hazards. The fairways had a ton of weeds growing over most of the course which is why I scored it low overall. Checking was chaotic with their systems not behaving. If it wasn’t for the golf now deal I would have over payed. I was surprised that they don’t clear some more of the trees on the shoreline so players can experience the fantastic water and downtown Miami views. That said, there is only a few peek-a-boo views of that great scenery.
Not Worth a Cent
I paid $200 for a tee time on a course that, on its best day, might be worth $65. The fairways were poorly maintained, bunkers had little to no sand, and the overall conditions were unacceptable. Staff interactions were consistently unpleasant—rude, dismissive, and seemingly annoyed by having customers at all.
No cart service until the 15th hole on a hot summer day, and no water stations anywhere on the course. That level of oversight is not just inconvenient—it’s irresponsible.
To make matters worse, I left my rangefinder attached to the cart magnet at the end of the round, assuming the course crew who collect and clean the carts would turn it in. I called immediately after getting home, then followed up for three days. Each time, I was met with indifference. On the third day, the pro shop staff told me, “I don’t know bro, just stop calling, we don’t have it.” That response sums up the overall level of professionalism at this facility.
I rarely leave reviews, but this experience deserved one. Save your money and your time, this place simply isn’t worth it.
Golfing in Paradise
Beautiful but difficult course. Set on the tiny island of Key Biscayne south of Miami, Crandon Park has some of the most beautiful scenery a course can provide. But it has just as many challenges. Lots of water carries. Tight fairways, doglegs and bunkers in all the tough places. Tabletop greens with tons of slope add to the difficulty. Crocodile warning signs will keep you from searching for stray shots. The course has a fully stocked pro shop, driving range and restaurant. Only major issue - and it was a real problem - was a lack of ranger. Should never take 5 hours on a half empty course.
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.
