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.

Golf Now, and my cart?

I booked Golf Now to play at Crandon with cart included. I also knew that I was going to play 9 holes because the other 9 holes were being repaired.

But when I arrived at Crandon they told me that the cart was not included and that only 6 holes were available.

I blame Golf Now for not informing me of this beforehand. You should reward me.

Course under repair

The front 9 is closed for repairs. You have to play back 9 twice. It is a good thing the county is attempting to recover such an amazing golf course.

Great staff, course under renovation

The staff are amazing. Can’t beat the weekday morning prices. Unfortunately for now the course is under renovation, so only 9 holes are available at least until late fall they mentioned. Looking forward to playing the full 18.

Not worth it.

$71 green fees to play the back nine twice is not worth it although the course is gorgeous. Just not worth the money and Golf Now doesn’t tell you that in advance. Buyer Beware

Crandon

Half the course was closed for construction which wasn’t advised during my reservation. So they had us play the same 9 holes to get 18 in but there were so many players that it was very slow. The guy at the golf shop checking us in was incredibly rude told me I didn’t have a reservation to try to get rid of me. When i showed him my email confirmation then it was “well it must have been under a different name” which of course was impossible. Very rude guy. The starter was missing when we began play. And when we returned there was a govt employee type lady sitting in her cart playing on her phone telling us to pick up our trash. Really a bad experience for such a nice course. Won’t go back.

Excellent layout, great condition

Front nine was closed for renovation, had to play back twice, however no regrets as there's 7 sets of tees and each one presents a different challenge. Greens were rolling true, had to spend time reading the greens. Overall a very nice course.

Excellent course conditions

Would have been nice to be notified that front nine was closed for renovation. However playing the back nine twice was great, there's seven sets of tees to choose from and the course was in such great condition it was fun. Greens take some greens-reading skills, there's always some break. Overall a very pleasant experience

Crandon Park Golf Course

One of my favorite courses in the Miami area. Course played a little rough as they are about to close it down to 9 holes for course repairs. Greens are a little slow, tee boxes need to be leveled, fairways and bunkers were in good shape. One note: Beware the raccoons. They'll steal any food left in the cart or your bag. Was told they like cell phones

Great course layout. Greens were a little beat up. I heard it’s going to go through a renovation this summer. Beware the raccoons.

Over Rated Play Elsewhere

Located on a key in the Miami harbour would make one think that the location would be spectacular. Not the case. Firstly you pay a toll to enter the key. You see water maybe twice during the entire round. The course is nice but pace of play is slow. Price is on the high side. On one par 3 a youth teaching class walked onto the green for 10 minutes of instruction while my group waited to tee off. Not even an acknowledgement from the instructor. Contacted the course pro, he was indifferent. After the round 31/2 hours drive off Key Biscayne due to a very minor traffic accident at the exit to the mainland. I have golfed all over the state of Florida. This course rides a popular reputation that is unfounded, avoid it, there are many other excellent courses north of the Miami downtown.
