Golf in Key West

Tee times at Key West Golf Club are suggested and well worth any golfers time.

The Key West Golf Club, home to the only public golf course in the lower and middle Keys, is a unique, challenging, and certainly fun round of golf. Above all, the setting is stunning. The course is filled with palms, mangroves, and other tropical plants. Egrets, herons, pelicans, and many other birds are often enjoying the water hazzards. And, believe it or not, tarpon are often seen "rolling" on the surface of the ponds.

This 18 hole, par-70 course measures over 5800 yards from the middle tees (6500 from the back tees). Each nine holes has one par-5, and two par-3s. Overall, the course plays more challenging than it reads on paper. The course has a lot of wide open drives and big fairways. So golfers are easily lured into using the big stick, a.k.a. the driver. But lot's of water hazzards, sand, tight and sometimes long approaches, deep rough, and unforgiving mangrove forrests (a black hole: never does the ball kick out), add more than a few extra strokes. Often times, keeping the Big Bertha in the bag will be a good idea. Then again, when else are you going to drive the green on a par 4?
