Miami-Dade County Parks Announces New Forecaddie Service at Crandon Golf at Key Biscayne
Adding a premium golf amenity to the County’s premier championship golf course
The Miami-Dade County Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department proudly announces new forecaddie service for visitors and residents who play golf at Crandon Golf at Key Biscayne.
This new amenity adds a premium level of golf services at Crandon Golf, one of the top public golf courses in Florida, which is typically offered at private golf clubs and resorts.
Nestled within Biscayne Bay and routed through clusters of mangroves and saltwater lakes, Crandon Golf is considered one of the most beautiful and challenging golf courses around. It's the only golf course in the nation with its own subtropical lagoon.
"These natural surroundings present unique challenges for even the most seasoned golfer," said Steve Jablonowski, Manager of Golf Operations for Miami-Dade County Parks. "Our new forecaddie service will help make the Crandon Golf experience more enjoyable by allowing golfers to concentrate more on their golf game, while our attentive forecaddies take care of filling divots, finding golf balls, raking bunkers, cleaning golf clubs, and reading greens."
Crandon Golf forecaddies have expert knowledge of the golf course and offer suggestions related to course conditions and assist in tracking the balls in play. During winter season, all golfers are required to be accompanied by a forecaddie (one forecaddie for each group of four golfers) from their arrival at the bag drop and throughout their golf round. The forecaddie service will be offered as an option during the summer season.
Crandon Golf is located at 6700 Crandon Boulevard on Key Biscayne. Tee times are available from sunrise to sunset, 365 days a year. For more information on Crandon Golf at Key Biscayne, please visit www.golfcrandon.com.
