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!

I was very disappointed I was expecting much better
Those who pay $ 200. to play there is theft

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!!!

Very Disappointing..........Greens had been topped dressed with sand and nothing mentioned on GOLFNOW.

After all I read about the course I was very disappointed. First the young lady in the Pro Shop needs some manners. She was talking to me then got a phone call and just left me standing there, till someone else showed up. No excuse me, sorry nothing, she was a piece of work.

The caddie was great and very helpful. The greens had just been topped dressed with sand and didn't hold anything. Very hard and very tough to putt on. No wonder no one was playing.

So after a 3 hr drive to play one of the feature courses in the Miami area, could honestly say it was a waste of time. Couldn't wait to get off the course. Had time to think about the poor experience on the 3 hr drive back to Cape Coral.

The course appears tough enough when the conditions are prestine, they weren't today............thank goodness the Fore Caddie was good company.

.beautiful but tough

Course is well maintained with good tees, fairways, and greens. Conditions are behind reproach. Fees are a bit high but in keeping with what they offer.
My only problem is the difficulty of the course. I am a 15 handicap and it is too tough to allow for an enjoyable round. A 10 or below handicap should enjoy this course or maybe masochists.
