The Ritz-Carlton, Key Biscayne

Nice layout

Greens fast enough

Greens are well protected

Several years ago we played this course regularly. Yesterday we played it and it’s a mess. Fairways are chewed up, greens long and marred and the overall condition of the course and the amenities are poor at best. Staff for the most part inside were unfriendly. This was once a gem. We will not return.

What happened to this course? Who is managing this property? This tract is such a beautiful one, so challenging and usually lush. Now it has fallen into deep disrepair and it's so sad. The fairways have weeds, bare spots, dirt. The tee boxes have not seen a mower in weeks. The greens have patches, weeds, and are shameful. Clearly very little money is going to maintaining this once beautiful course. Other county courses, like Miami Beach and Normandy are in great shape and this jewel has now become a place to avoid. We have played this course for years and just revisited yesterday to find a completely different property. Once forecaddies were mandatory and now you cannot even find anyone to clean your clubs after your round. The pro shop has been cleared out, offering very little merchandise. The only odd, bright spot was seeing that brand new Titleist TSR club sets were offered as rentals. We had our own clubs but this was interesting. Even the carts are worn out, no GPS and beat up and unclean.

What happened to this place? It's now very apparent that the sale that was to occur a few years ago certainly should have gone through.

It was a pity that such a good and well kept golf course is having operational (non-course-maintenance related) management issues. If I had received my cart 35 minutes earlier (5 minutes before Tee Time) my rating would have been 5.

When we arrive at the course we discovered the back nine was closed. Had to play the front nine twice. And we still charged the full price of $109. The was not reasonable at all. No consideration given for this. Very disappointed.

Great course, nice wildlife with a lot of iguanas!

Awesome staff and reasonable prices! Recommended without reserve!

This course is very difficult for an average golfer. Even a 11 handicap. The lay out is beautiful but the condition was not perfect. The fairways were very dry and lack of grass at many places. For the price ( hot deal), it worth it. I will not pay 100$ to play there.

When trying to grab a cart Starter practically yelled at me. Power trip much?

This is a very nice course for south miami,

the course is in great shape but do not forget the bug spray.

Fairways in rough shape. Mosquitoes everywhere. Seriously swarms of them. Know it’s out of their control but one should know

Rude starter

Extremely slow play with no marshal

Also encountered a snake

The course has some serious potential - they need to increase the price a bit and space out the tee times. It took 3 hours to play the front 9, and we just left after 4/5 holes on the back.
