History
Crandon Park was a donation, made to Dade County, in 1940 by heirs of Commodore William John Matheson, a wealthy businessman who used the land as a coconut plantation, with the condition that the land be used as a public park. In exchange for the land donation Chairman Charles Crandon of the County Commission, for whom the park is named, offered to have the County build a causeway that would connect Key Biscayne to the mainland.
The construction for the golf course began in Crandon Park in 1970 and the Key Biscayne Golf Course opened in September, 1972.
The Key Biscayne Golf Course was designed by Robert Von Hagge and Bruce Devlin and built by the Troup Brothers as a 18 hole, par 71, 7,020 yard course.
Around 1988, the course was renamed The Links at Key Biscayne.
In 1992/1993, the course underwent a $1.5 million renovation designed by Robert von Hagge and Kelly Blake Moran with new greens and bunker configurations due to the damages caused by Hurricane Andrew in August 1992.
In July 1996, a Miami-Dade County resolution called the Crandon Park Master Plan was passed to stop ongoing litigation between the heirs of Matheson and Miami-Dade County on the usage of the 900 acre park.
Part of the master called for the Crandon Park golf course to be preserved and its name changed. As a result, the course was renamed Crandon Park Golf Course.
Also known as The Links at Crandon Park.
In 2004, a new clubhouse was completed.
The property is designated as Audubon Santuary certified, with the only sub-tropical lagoon in all of North America.
Presently the golf course is named Crandon Golf at Key Biscayne.
