Key West Golf Club
At the heart of Key West’s golfing scene lies the Key West Golf Club, the island’s only public course. This Rees Jones-designed 18-hole championship course is a true gem, offering a unique golfing experience that captures the essence of the Florida Keys.
Spanning 6,500 yards, the course presents a variety of challenges that will test golfers of all skill levels. You’ll navigate through mangrove thickets, over tropical water hazards, and across fairways lined with coconut palms and tropical foliage. The signature 8th hole, aptly named “Mangrove Hole,” requires a 143-yard tee shot over a field of tangled mangroves – a thrilling challenge that epitomizes the course’s harmony with its natural surroundings.
Other Nearby Golfing Options
While Key West Golf Club is the only public course on the island itself, avid golfers looking to expand their playing options can find additional courses within a short drive. Just 27 miles northeast in Marathon, you’ll find the Florida Keys Country Club. This 9-hole public course offers a more relaxed golfing experience with beautiful views of the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico.
After Your Round
While the golf course is undoubtedly a major draw, Key West offers so much more for the perfect vacation. After your round, explore the vibrant Duval Street, known for its eclectic mix of bars, restaurants, and shops. Visit Ernest Hemingway’s home, now a museum showcasing the famous author’s life and works. Don’t miss the nightly Sunset Celebration at Mallory Square, where street performers and food vendors create a festive atmosphere as the sun dips below the horizon.
For water enthusiasts, Key West is a paradise. Snorkel or dive in the only living coral reef in North America, take a sunset sail, or try your hand at deep-sea fishing. The crystal-clear waters surrounding the island offer endless opportunities for aquatic adventures.
