Golfers will soon enjoy improvements at Crandon Golf Course, located at 6700 Crandon Boulevard in Key Biscayne. Beginning August 12th, Miami-Dade County Parks, Recreation, and Open Spaces Department will implement a temporary closure of the golf course for approximately four weeks, as part of the $5 million course renovation project that began May 6th.
This project will ensure optimal playing experiences for golfers with a focus on environmental resiliency and preserving natural areas, as Miami-Dade Parks updates the course’s irrigation system, bunkers, putting greens, teeing grounds, cart paths, parking lot and entry roads.
The improvements to the course include newly sodded fairways, tee boxes, bunkers, and additional essential repairs. During this closure, Crandon Golf at Key Biscayne will continue providing services to the clubhouse/pro shop, restaurant, driving range, and practice hole golfing features, with full daily staff on-site. The playable course for the front 9 holes is slated to reopen in mid-September, and the full 18-hole reopening is scheduled for November 2024.
Considered one of the county’s signature golf courses, Crandon Golf was the site of the Senior PGA Tour for 18 years, attracting golf’s greatest players. The course is considered one of the most beautiful and difficult par-72 courses in the state of Florida. Its seventh hole is touted as “One of the Greatest Holes in Golf.” The course has been rated in the top ten courses by Golfweek, and as one of America’s top 75 upscale courses by Golf Digest.
