Golf

A relative newcomer in terms of local recreation, golf is gaining in popularity here as it is in many visitor destinations. The area's only public golf course is Key West Golf Club (tel. 305/294-5232), an 18-hole course located at the entrance to the island of Key West at MM 4.5 (turn onto College Rd. to the course entrance). Designed by Rees Jones, the course has plenty of mangroves and water hazards on its 6,526 yards. It's open to the public and has a new pro shop. Call ahead for tee-time reservations. Rates are $150 per player or $85 after 2:30pm, including cart.
