Golf in Key West is a singular proposition: one primary eighteen-hole venue, Key West Golf Club, set among tropical hardwoods and mangrove edges at the end of U.S. 1. There is no sprawling multi-course resort district here—just island golf that feels as much about place as about scorecard, with trade winds, salt air, and the knowledge that the next fairway is still only minutes from Duval Street.
Players who book a round usually treat it as a counterpoint to the Keys’ fishing-and-sunset culture rather than a full golf vacation. The course’s compact, scenic character rewards accuracy over bomb-and-gouge power, and twilight rounds can feel like a private theater of palms and water as the sun drops toward the Gulf.
