Pretty Pricey

The course was absolutely beautiful. I got paired up with one other player. Course was wide open. Rental price around $90 on top of $200 greens fee was a bit pricey, but I am glad I made the trip.

Miami golf experience

Way too expensive for a municipal golf course in only a fair condition. Rate for Dade county residents

need to be much less expensive. need golf carts with GPS. The money being charged the golf related accoutrements need to be much better.

Great track !

The course was in excellent shape. The recent rain and course maintenance paid off. got to use their new golf carts, having arrived that same morning.

The only point was that the greens were a bit slow.

Worth a try

I actually played the course twice on my visit to Key Biscayne (used GolfNow the second time and saved over $100).

Course was in generally good condition with a few areas in need of additional TLC. Beautiful layout and plenty of challenge for all skill levels. The staff were wonderful as were the amenities.

Really enjoyable couple of rounds and would recommend players give it a try when in town (but def use the GolfNow app!)

Play elsewhere!

Our tee time was for 2:16 although we had to wait until nearly 3:00 to start. It was cart paths only due to rain the night before which didn’t help to move groups along. Sunset was at 6:15 so I figured we could play until 6:30 before running out of daylight. At 5:50 the club manager comes out in a golf cart screaming at us and everyone else out there to immediately pick up our balls and head back because the course “closes” at 5:45. Once I got back to the cart return there was a group of people similarly kicked off the course as livid as I was having been told nothing about this policy when checking in. What an awful experience! I’ve played countless rounds of golf over the last 35 years and have never heard of such a ridiculous policy nor been treated so poorly! The manager needs some serious counseling not to mention intensive training on how to treat customers. Either that or simply fired.

Downhill since spring of 2023

The staff is great. All around, proshop and restaurant.

But the course that once was considered 4th best public course in the US is long gone. Over $100 paid in greenfee but plays more like $30. Full of weeds, lack of turf in fairways, undulated tees and greens with a lot of bare spots. You would’ve thought that with Melresse closing, the county would take advantage and try to get more play.

Nice but very very very slow

We had no fun and were unhappy because you can not concentrate when you have to wait 5-10 minutes between every shot

Beautful course

Staff are great the courses in great shape can't complain the thing about the course but to charge a non-resident $110 more to play I think is unfair especially the revenue we bring in to South Florida

A little snooty and closed early

Course was beautiful! Reception at clubhouse was very curt and gave me the feeling I should be honored to play there. Similar reception at driving range and purchasing beverage from the cart on the course. Was prepared to pay the $180 but club rental for $85 way out of range from other courses. Most importantly, was informed (after the $300 investment) the cart was due back in at 5:30–2 hours before sunset. Since we were backed up for most of the round— only able to finish 14 holes. A 1:45 start should have got us done plenty before sunset but not given the slow play. My expectations for a $300 round are extremely high. I have had a better experience paying $100. Too bad for such a beautiful course!

Good course, glad I paid half the normal greens fees though

Cool course on a windy day. A couple of really well laid out holes. Paid $80 for the round. Would’ve felt incredibly ripped off if we paid $200, which is the stated rate. The course is in no condition to be that price. Lots of dragging spike marks on the greens and inconsistent conditioning.

A perfectly fine conditioned public course and again a good design, but $80 is the max a greens fee should be here.
