Golf courses in Key Biscayne, FL.

Key Biscayne, FL

Crandon Golf at Key Biscayne occupies part of Crandon Park on a barrier island near Miami, surrounded by mangrove forests, saltwater lakes, and views toward Biscayne Bay. Robert von Hagge and Bruce Devlin designed the original course, which opened in 1972, with von Hagge returning for a redesign in 1993. The par-72 layout includes seven saltwater lakes and mangrove thickets, and is noted as the only course in North America built around a subtropical lagoon. Several holes overlook the bay, though mature shoreline trees screen much of the Miami skyline view for environmental reasons. The course is owned and operated by Miami-Dade County and open to the public. It hosted PGA Tour Champions events for many years and has undergone turf-reduction work in recent years aimed at lowering water use while preserving its tropical character.
