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

Crandon Park Golf

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.

Problems with the staff

My husband an I love this course, and have come back to play it many time. It is a gorgeous course, quite challenging for us, with a fun layout.

The problem that we had this time was that there were very few people working, so it was a hastle to sign us in and the starter was no where to be found. When we finally met up with her, she was kind of aggressive and not at all helpful.

We still would repeat this course every time,

6 inches of rain

Course is great, Miami got 6" of rain the night before. Might have been nice to mention that at the check in. Small lakes in the fairways made a tough course ALOT tougher. Will definitely play again when it's dry.

Beautiful course and a challenging layout. The conditions were good and the staff friendly. Watch out for the raccoons on the 11th tee 😅.

Wildlife and nice viewd

This course has lots of raccoons, iguanas, lizards and seagulls. Beautiful views of the bay and city skyline of Miami. Not too far from Cuba either. Clubhouse has restrooms, but on course they have port-a-potty in case you have to go #2. The iguanas were scary so

I had to play fast. I started with 11 golf balls and found 3 on the course, One was a range ball. I lost 9 balls in water and only one in woods.

There are several fast food restaurants and a marina within 10 miles, so many food options if you get hungry. I really liked hole 18, I got to go home after playing that hole.
