Crandon Golf at Key Biscayne
Rating Snapshot
About
Subtle but enticing, Crandon is a well-planned challenge built in 1972 by Robert von Hagge and Bruce Devlin. In 1993, a redesign by von Hagge brought new greens and bunker configurations. Formerly known as "The Links at Key Biscayne" Crandon Park Golf Course is a championship 18-hole golf course located on the "island paradise" of Key Biscayne, just 10 minutes from downtown Miami.
The course has the world's largest tee, seven saltwater lakes, challenging sand traps, mangrove thickets, and many holes overlooking Biscayne Bay.
You can see crocodiles (they have three), numerous raccoons and Jurassic-sized iguanas darting across the course. The blue and tri-colored herons, white ibises, snowy egrets, pelicans and anhinga grace the fairway roughs and saltwater banks.
From the first hole - a dogleg par 5 that requires a drive over water and mangroves - to the last - another par 5 with water on both sides of the fairway - Crandon Park Golf Course has, in many ways, become Miami-Dade's signature public golf course.

3rd par 3 over water great hole Photo submitted by neilcolton on 11/11/2012
Great course, but needs to better take care of guests
We saw the cart girl between the 1st and 2nd hole... Never saw her again. It was a hot day and it would have been appreciated. At the turn, no sandwichs were ready for sale. The waiter was not helpfull at all.
Overall, it was a nice day but for the price you think it would be a better experience.
Good, but under staffed
No one at the desk when we arrived - waited 15 minutes for someone to be located, then he seemed completely lost. No drinks or food served on the course
Simply Beautiful
Oh wow what a course!! Beautiful layout, challenging shots on every hole. Would play every day!!
Mediocre
Course is fine. I paid less than the rack rate and would’ve been disappointed to pay full fare. Staff not very pleasant nor helpful. Many blind shots makes scoring difficult. Pace of play poor and no Marshall in sight. Traps plentiful but inconsistent- some have sand some do not. Not a boring course- very long from the tips, plenty of room for length and forgiving enough…
Great Golf course
Very challenging golf course in great shape, need a ranger for pace of play issues
Stormy day
The course is very good to play. It is quite challenging. Despite the short rain, we enjoyed the round much. The pro shop was helpful.
The restaurant was disappointing. They could not sell food for lunch to golfers quickly. It slowed down the play much. I will bring my food in future.
Great Value but Horrible Pace
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.
Beautiful Course but Needs Course Marshall
The course itself was amazing. However, we had two individuals behind us that were playing way too fast even though they were twenty minutes late to their tee time. The group in front of us was a large group that was playing at a normal pace and we did not feel lile bothering them. I would definitely play again, but I think there needs to be someone that periodically monitors the course.
Challenging but fun
First off, I do not recommend playing this course if it has rained in the past couple days as this course floods very easily. With that being said it’s a great course layout, the greens are in fantastic shape and it’s challenging but a lot of fun!
Lost a lot of golf balls but had fun doing it
This course is just a little TLC away from being one of the great courses. Tee boxes are roughed up a bit but the layout is great! However still I don’t think it’s worth the money you pay. There are a lot better courses out there to play for way cheaper and have it all.
