Always a pleasure !

Everything was perfect except....
1) topsand on greens
2) what a bad change that eight elevated green which required a perfect shot compared to the lovely green before that change .!!

Will go back for sure !

A pleasant experience

I played this course with my wife and had a delightful caddy . He helped get us through slow groups and added to the experience. The course is a good layout and has some great views BUT the greens were awful, the bunkers need attention and some of the tees were in serious need of a mower.. Had I been paying the full rate I would have been seriously upset

It is jewel of a course.

I have wanted to play this course for years. Got a very good deal on GolfNow so booked it for me and a buddy of mine.
Course was on the wet side on some of the fairways and underwater on some of the cart paths, but who can fault management for that. Each hole served up a special challenge that was exhilarating. The course layout amongst the wetlands is superb. 18th hole view looking back over the bay to downtown Miami was picturesque.
Bunker mania comes into play on a number of the fairways. I counted a total of seven on a few of the holes. Most all of the greens are well guarded that way too. Made for interesting play.
If there is one criticism, it would be the length between the white and the green tee boxes. One being too short while the other being a tad too long. My preference would be a distance between the two, about 6,000 to 6,200 yards, though not a deal breaker by any means.
I plan to go back and the sooner the better before it gets crowded when season kicks in and a course like this command a much higher price and gets very crowded .

An OK Course

Slow pace of play and course in poor condition. Very scruffy! Several holes restricted to cart path only.
Very disappointed considering the price.
Beverage service slow and no marshall on course to check times and keep people moving.
We passed a 3-ball at the turn but then sat behind a 4-ball for the rest of the round. Had to wait on every shot.
Very frustrating.

Ok experience

We started out 20 minutes behind a foursome. We caught them at the third hole and were stuck behind them the rest of the day. There was no Marshall on the course to dictate speed of play or courtesy. We were a twosome that was playing faster then the four older players in front of use. Two further compound things we had a twosome catch us that became impatient and hit into us, almost striking us. Again, no Marshall. Also, the beverage cart personnel had no idea of golf etiquette. We were on the tee box to tee off on a couple holes but had to stop and wait as the cart ether passed behind or in front of us.
I have played this course twice this summer. The course is in good condition and nice to play. But the absence of a Marshall when it is posted in many places that playtime is strictly enforced is disheartening.

Great Course, Slow Play

Crandon is a beautiful Florida course with lots of palm trees, water hazards, and iguanas! I would have given 5 stars but the pace of play was too slow.

Would have gotten 4 stars but...

Would have gotten 4 stars however at this time of year there are swarms of bugs that get in your mouth and eyes and I was bitten by fireants and mosquitos on my legs back and ams. Kind of takes away from the fun of playing when you are being attacked by bugs....

Soggy and slow

This course is set amongst the mangroves and palms. Besides being stuck behind a slow group that was horrible, the scenary was great. The course is well kept and it is almost always windy. I would go back but maybe out of season next time.

Just a muni, after all

This course is on a great piece of land, very picturesque, but the greens have fungus problems and are not in good shape. The 15th fairway is an absolute mess, and there are mediocre lies in other fairways as well. Given the rack rate greens fees, this course is way overpriced and does not live up to its reputation. Also, the rough is too deep given the relatively narrow fairways, which really slows down play.

overated

This course is way over rated not worth the money at all. It need conditioning, although the staff is very friendly, but to drive all the way to key Biscayne only to find a very hard couse to play that is in average condition no way

Fine layout, many challenging and thoughtful holes. Needs more TLC.

This course is well designed, challenging but fair, has many visually appealing holes and has the potential to be a great experience in a privileged setting. The playing conditions were not first rate. Most of the fairways were in pretty good shape but the greens need some attention in order to restore this course to its full potential. Overall I enjoyed my round of golf and would return, particularly if I learn that course maintenance has improved.

Good course with very high value for money!

We played from the blue a quite long and challenging course where you need long drives and very accurate puts. Greens are the hardest thing, most of all if u come from Europe. On each golf cart a screen with maps of the whole course and GPS calculating every distance you may need. Great value for money, we highly recommend!

What a great course and a great deal!!!

The whole course was in great shape and provided a great Florida golf experience. You need to bring your A game or at least enough balls to lose since there's plenty of water to hit over and around...but what else would you expect for golf on Key Biscayne!!! Don't miss it, especially if you find the deal I did on golf now...81% off.

Not worth the money !!!!!!

Regular price for 2 golfers $ 400+, twilight rate for 2 golfers $ 150.00. With these prices you expect a certain level of services and amenities. No range balls, the restaurant patio blah, service and restaurant food just ok. We were not told that the course closed at 7:20, all facilities!! While we were golfing the GPS kept flashing that we had to leave the course at sunset 7:20 no matter what hole we were on. We thought this was a joke because sunset was not until 8 pm. Sure enough on the fairway on 15 the backshop guy took the flag out of the hole on the green ending our game. UNSATISFACTORY!!!
