Ranked third hardest public course.Very good conditions and since they have added the Caddie requirement I no longer have a complaint about slow play!!!Not a course that high handicaps will play well, but scenic views from bay holes, North America's Salt Water Lagoons, Salt Water Crocodiles, Iguanas, and more nature makes this course AN EXPERIENCE...Please play fast!!!!
Good location and very good layout. Very good playing condition of the course too. The golf course is pretty much busy all the time so the rounds can be slow... Definitely worth a try if you are in Miami.
This highly rated golf course was built for Richard Nixon to use when he set up a winter White House in Key Biscayne. Unlike other Florida courses, it was created with irregular terrain: it is not pure flat. Every hole has beautiful views. The tees, sand traps, and greens were all in tip top shape. Greens fees are steep and play requires an accompanying fore caddy during busy hours, but after 2 PM the greens fees (which include a cart with sophisticated GPS) fall to a very reasonable level and no caddy is needed.. almost a bargain. Tee times can be reserved by phone. Even without a fore caddy in the afternoon it is easy to find your way around the course. Lots of water... and thick foliage. Bring a lot of balls. There is also a very nice restaurant - where I had the buffet lunch... very inexpensive and really quite good. My plan - lunch and then 18 holes. I teed off in early February at 2:16 and we finished the 18th hole just as the sun was setting. This course is a real gem.
Played here yesterday. A beautiful course, with great views. Very tough golf course, but a lot of fun. It is in great condition, the staff is friendly and helpful, the clubhouse is really nice. The price is right. The food is good. I hope to play here often in the future.
From the very first tee, this course is challenging all the way through. You have to be smart and cannot try to do more than you can. Play safe and if in doubt, you better play it for bogie or else you will end up with double or more. The service is very good. The caddie we got was very nice but he had no clue as far as giving you distances and reading breaks on the green. We stopped listening to him and the game improved.We had a couple of drinks at the bar afterwards and were treated very well. Good drinks served very friendly.Very good course not far from downtown. I am looking forward to play again sometimes and playing it smarter.
This is a great facility very close to downtown Miami where it is easy to lose yourself in a few hours of peace over 18 holes. It provides a fair challenge, nothing too tricky and the clubhouse and shop are excellent, with very helpful and friendly staff (I turned up and was able to buy or hire everything I needed, having brought nothing over from Scotland). For those who like buggies, these seem to be perfectly good, offering tips and restrictions on when to move forward. Personally, I hate buggies and my only niggle of the day was that I could not enjoy my walk round the course in the traditional fashion, since the buggies are compulsory.
My wife and I really enjoyed the golf course even with rain and wind that day, the staffs was really nice. That have a great golf shop with a good selection. Restaurant the food was delicious and the price was good. My wife had a Tuna salad....wow!!!! what a nice platethe course was in good shape for the time of the year, greens speed was good, the course is fun to play but it is a bite expensive...more than 100$ it should be around 80$. we played it in 3:20 hours, we were alone on the golf course that day....the back nine is nicer and the view on Miami is nice, the wildlife is also really greatThe aware of the racoon on the 16th hole tee off, this guy is fast and knows where to find his lunch.If you are golfing in Miami, this is must on your list....have fun
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We appreciate the glowing review of the beginner golf lessons at Crandon Golf at Key Biscayne. We are very proud of the exceptional service provided by Ned and the team at Crandon Golf Academy. Thank you for your patronage of Crandon Golf and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
Is a pretty tuff course...but is well kept, green fees are absolutely in the average....a place to enjoy...sometimes alligators on the course but is part of the fun !! Enjoy it
Great as always, maybe a bit expensive for a public course. Good links course. The hotel can help you get tee times and transportation (5 minutes from the Ritz)
