The new owner has put a lot of money into the course and conditions are greatly improved, specially the greens and they are in the process of rebuilding the tees. I definitely disagree with reviews who have said the staff is unfriendly. They staff is definitely welcoming and the price is right. I play there, usually 2 days a week, and have discovered something interesting. If you read Geoff Shackelford's book, Golf Course Architecture For Normal People, you'll discover this course, by virtue of the design, is actually great. We describe it as a British style golf course with palm trees. The course is certainly not PGA Tour length, but the holes each offer a special challenge. We find it a lot of fun to play from different tees to make some holes easier or harder. Sometimes, we'll rotate red, to gold to white. The course design is very memorable and honestly, a course you could play every day and not get tired of it. read more

The customer service was terrible. We were charged the wrong amount for an underage player. When I asked about the pricing and how it worked, I was spoken to in a very rude manner. The staff was unhelpful and did not seem interested in resolving the issue. For the amount we paid, we expected much better service. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience, and I would not recommend this place. read more

The course is in good Conditions and play there is acceptable. The inconvenience is that the management forces players to book in advance and Prepay green fees but, if for any fact of life, you are not able to be there to play, there is NO reimbursement. The other bad thing is that mana forces players to book in pares (2 or 4). There is no acceptance of 1 or 3 ???????!! If you have only 3 players, you will have to book and pre PAY for 4 ???? crazy read more

We had two tee times Saturday May 2nd at 7:30 AM. We got to the course at 7:05 and it was raining very hard. It was impossible to get to play. We went to the club house and talked to the lady at the counter that in those raining conditions it was not possible to play and requested to cancel our tee time and give us the credit for the credit card being already charged. The lady at the counter had no authorization to credit our card and gave us an email to contact the golf manager. We did so and request via email the credit to our card. The manager responded three days later saying that NO credit will be given and offering that we could play another time and no pay. We were visiting and had no chance to play again. Quite a bad customer service. We will not be back to play there. read more

Worst course staff I have ever seen and bad conditions. Awful fairways and don't accommodate their guests. If you want a good golf experience go anywhere else in the state of Florida. 80$ to play 3 holes and get poured on then treated rudely read more

Worst course in Miami. Never play here. Awful course and staff. Started downpour on first hole and wouldn't give a rain check. Wouldn't recommend read more

Is always fun, course has been upkeep a little better lately. Carts have been improve read more

I'll start with the good - The course was in AMAZING impeccable conditions. All the greens were pristine with no weeds or rough spots , the fairways were also great with minimal obstruction (patches of mud , debris) and the holes were very very fun. The 9th hole has a big lake to the right , 2 massive trees in the center and a canal all the way at the end before the green and every hole has a fun and very interesting obstacle. - now the downsides , the starter(s) (there was 2?) are absolutely the rudest I've ever met. Me and my 2 buddies are beginners , we've played 5 games total so we're not the best hitters or super experienced. We get there on time (12:44) and get to the first tee box and get told we have to pa for my buddies wife as a spectator, ok every course has that then he goes to pay and it's $30 for a spectator??? $30?? A player was $36...? $30 for someone to sit and watch is just diabolical. So he goes and comes back and the starter is going over the rules and says two players can't play from the same bag? That rule didn't apply to us but that sounds like a completely made up rule, we tee off and I just got off work with no warm up so expectedly I hit a bad shot and end up in the water so I tee up another ball and the starter walks up to us and tells me I can't hit another ball, and I look confused and he says that first ball is a breakfast ball but this ball has to count and I hit it further and end up in the 9th holes fairway , my buddies tee off and one of then sends 2/3 balls into the water (like I said we're beginners and honestly not that good) and the starter is telling him to just take a drop and he's actively just standing there rushing us and watching us and I go grab my ball and place it on the fairway while my buddies hit and they hit and the ball roll 15 yards then another 20 yards, their not very good and so the starter comes to us to tell us to pick up the pace and there we just snapped because one thing is keeping pace of play and the other is standing there watching us play and rushing us. What the starter should've done plain and simple is said hey , you guys are slower players so let's let the group behind you play through and you guys can go ahead but no he decided to be super pushy and annoying about it and so we let that group play through and on the 9th hole we were on the green putting and again we're getting rushed and he said "hey guys you have to pick up the pace you guys are slow" I was the 3rd person to putt and I was halfway done? One thing is people that are slow but because they take forever to set up or waste time and another is a player that's a slower more inexperienced player. I've been to multiple courses and I've never had an experience so horrendous with a starter. And another thing is the "pro shop" - "pro shop?" The pro shop is a TINYYY little room about the size of a bathroom and it's one glass case with some used balls and new balls And gloves and tees but that's about it. Nothing with their logo or any branding or anything, the pro shop absolutely sucked (I wouldn't even call it a pro shop) and the starters were extremely rude and unprofessional but besides that the course was in impeccable condition. Also the golf carts are very slow but that's irrelevant. read more

Can't say much about the course as I never made it on. Despite having a range and advertising one, "we don't really have a range". Seems like a place that skimps out on all the important details that make playing golf enjoyable. read more

For the $30 deal on Mondays and Wednesdays you really cant beat that. Nor should anyone expect an exceptional course for the price. The course is in a condition that matches the price, those who work there are very nice and they did a great job keeping pace of play going with all of the people there. read more

Course is awful. Weeds all over what they call a fairway. Sent out 2 singles after a foursome; didn't make them pair up. Old guy at the desk care less. Lots of waiting all day. Only reason to go is Apocalypse BBQ and they're moving 3/1/25 so.... We won't be back. read more

Actually had a pretty decent pace of play... The ranger was out on the course, checking in on parties. With that said, this course needs a lot of work. The tee boxes are basically sand bunkers. They're really terrible. The fairways could use a lot of work as well. However, the greens are actually in pretty great condition. read more

Although the greens can be better and it's not the fault of the company and someone trying to ruin the greens, a little clean up can be better. It's actually 3 stars but I dropped it down one due to their staff. Back to back I left my range finder on the cart and it was never to be found. Of course I realize that is my fault 100%. The first time yes, I was ignorant and left it. The second time, I was in a rush due to emergency of my own and grabbed my clubs and just left. Either way the individuals that tend to the carts are for sure high school kids and don't take their job seriously ( if you play there you would understand ) and both time I have gone there to ask about the range finder and told there is. I way we would have that here. Saying that in a way that it would for sure not be here because of X and Y reasons. Either way I lost both in less than two months and I can guarantee the staff had probably taken it. Good people are hard to come by and sucks that a good worker are all but gone. Please hire people that have an understanding on personal items especially since you get charged a huge amount to play in a course that is subpar. Not to mention my close friend lost his range finder at this same course last year. It's no coincidence, these employees I believe take them then sell them off. read more

The pace of play was great when we went (mid-day). There wasn't ever a backup. The greens looked nice and the fairways were decent. This place just has narrow fairways so high handicappers beware or it will be a frustrating day. But will definitely come back (with my range finder) because I found it to be a challenging course. read more

What an amazing golf course! I haven't been here before, and I'm thankful my friends invited me to come and play. The course was very clean and there weren't that many people playing this morning. I was definitely rusty! I need someone to train me. Lol. This is so far my favorite course in South Florida. read more

Great course to practice your game! Tight, water, short holes and one or 2 Long ones! A definite place to get your swings in as you hone your game read more

My favorite part of this course is the lay out. It's a great balance of short and long holes and some dog leg lefts/rights. However, it's not very well maintained, and the price doesn't match what you get in return. There's no range, just a chipping and putting area to warm up. I recommend giving it a chance at least once, because it is a nice course. read more

Not sure what's going on but I think there is new staff and turn maintenance peep. It's shows cause the course is in pretty good shape. Please get rain covers for the carts and bags though. That's the only bad thing about KG. read more

Absolutely so bad... we are visiting and purposely chose somewhere that advertised rental equipment because we left our clubs at home. This place charges $50 per "set" if you can call it that. We were not given any drivers, and paid for 3 full sets. The golf carts are also painfully slow, it feels like they're going to die before you make it past the first tee. We didn't finish the round as all of the aforementioned conditions made the game unplayable and unenjoyable, and they refused to refund us for anything. Not coming back to this "country club" read more

If I could give this course a zero I would. I e given this course three chances, and this third time is the last! This place is just horrible. First, I had to wait for 37 minutes for a golf cart, tee offed 20 minutes late. Greens and fairways are in terrible shape. Let's top that off with bad staff! Staff to say the least is rude, and I paid for 18, came in and asked for a rain check for the back nine and was told NO!. It was slow, I played the front nine in 3 hours, thanks to the congestion in the tee box, greens were in bad shape. People were driving right up to the greens. Oh, and let's put the cherry on this golf course and the round is $55, waaayyy over priced... pure ripoff, up the butt hole with no Vaseline! read more

Horrible management! Booked a round this past weekend and when pulling in 10 minute prior to my tee time, I see roughly 8-12 carts waiting to tee off. Immediately tried to cancel the round due to delay and the management team simple ignored three of my emails and still charged us the full price as a "no show" (even though we showed proof of backed up tee times). Just plain horrible management! read more

If you don't play in the morning don't bother going. 1:50 tee time didn't tee off until 2:30. Took an hour to play 3 holes. They stack everyone up no bueno. Girl in the office needs an attitude adjustment. read more

This place is god awful. Greens are so poorly kept. It's not nice whatever, rentals are super over priced and aren't anywhere near decent Unable to bring a water in your cart and proceed to have none at all out there. The customer service is even worse!!! I just called because I had left an item in my cart asking if someone had returned it, and the guy was very rude and didn't care at all. Told me I can drive down and check the cart myself which is 45 minutes away, for something that would take him 10 seconds max? AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL read more

Played this track for the first time in over a year thinking that the new owner had upgraded it somewhat . I was wrong. They price of $55 dollars to play on a Saturday at 11 is crazy for the conditions it's in. If your a weekend hacker and are ok shooting 90 and up this track is fine for you. If your a player that takes the came serious and shoots low stay away from this place. The tee boxes are all sand and uneven. Even when you hit the fairway you are in dirt. The fairway bunkers are 50% grass and 50%sand. The finishing hole 18 has actual strips ripped into it right in front of the green. What a disaster. Way to much money for such poor quality. This is a $19.99 track. read more

Worse golf course especially for price. Took 6.25 hours for 2 people 18 holes as they over book. They space out tee time's 7 min apart and allow 5 people to golf together. There employees know this and apologies which i feel bad for them but say owner hears and knows all these complaints and doesn't care. Greens are not good. Rather not golf then golf at Killian. Seriously! read more

This review is not about the course or its employees. It is about the owner and his/hers policies. I have played 12 rounds since Feb. 12 at an average of $40 per round for two players it is over $800. Today I showed up for my 8:00 Am tee time I had for 3 players. Unfortunately one of my friends was sick and canceled this morning. To my amazement I was told I needed to pay for all 3 because I did not provide 24 hours notice. I am not sure how you can know 24 hours in advance if someone is going to be sick. Based on this policy I assume they would rather you play sick and be infectious rather than be compassionate. I will continue playing here because I enjoy the golf couse. Although I can not accept rules that are hurt customers. I make all my tee times through Golf Now and will post this review there as well. Thanks read more

Booked last minute tee time today, and wasn't expecting much. Really good vibe with staff, and the course was very fun. Will play again next time in town. Regretting not getting a burger after reading last review. read more

After paying a little under $75 for an 18 hole I drive the cart over to the first tee box and realize the group of four in-front of me are playing out of one bag, none of them are wearing proper attire and on top of that are screaming bloody murder. I call the pro shoo and no one wanted to do anything about it. If you're going play and pay for serious golf this is not the place to do it. read more

This is the golf course you pass by on 874. Many Saturday mornings, I can be found stalking those fairways. The course is certainly not the most lush, beautiful course you've ever seen. It's kind of a cow pasture, but it's fairly inexpensive - $22 to walk 18 holes. Tight, quirky layout. The first hole, a par 4, is a test right off the bat, with water all the way down the right, and left, should you hit a nasty snap-hook. Hit safely, and you're faced with a 150-yard shot over water into a small green. It's tough to deal with when you're just getting warmed up. 2-4 are also fairly difficult, then the course relents, with the par 3 17th the only other hole I consider to be that tough. The greens are not guarded by a ton of sand, but there are other ways to get into trouble here. On almost every hole, it's possible to pound it out of bounds into someone's back yard. I'm honestly surprised I've never broken anyone's window. You don't need a ton of distance to score well here, you just need to hit the ball straight. It ain't Torrey Pines or Pebble Beach, but it's a decent cheap course. read more

Killian Greens Golf Club - Golf Near Me - Miami, Florida

Crazy how you show up after booking a tee time earlier in the week and when you show up they tell you "the front 9 is closed you have to play the back 9 twice because there is a tournament" terrible communication. Not how you run a golf course. They should mention this to you before you book or even a simple phone call before you drive 45 min to play the course. read more

This is a bare bones golf course. Bring everything you need for your round because they offer nothing except a golf cart. Other than that, the course is decent for the price. The carts have a GPS system that gives you yardage and also prevents you from driving in prohibited areas. The greens are fast and true. Was not too crowded on the day we golfed. read more

I have played there many times and it is still a dump!. 6 players playing in a foursome slowing down pla. Divots everywhere! Poorly kept greens.What a dump! The golf course has always been known as Killian "brown". Nothing has changed except the new owner who is a putz! He is trying to hide his identity because he already went bankrupt and screwed an American bank before he bought this property. (https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-flsb-1_12-bk-14348e) "The golf course was sold to a wealthy Venezuelan buyer who likes to land bank and own land for the future of his family," Allan Kleer of Fortune International Realty, told The Real Deal. Kleer and his business partner Fabian Garcia-Diaz were the listing agents. They declined to provide the buyer's name, and the sale has not yet been recorded in Miami-Dade County. His name is Hector and Maria Castellon of 9880 SW 68 St. Miami, Fl 33173. He has several business registered to this private address. He has several Mickey Mouse "security guards" in a white car with green and yellow lights. I thought they were selling ice cream. He spends more money harassing the neighbors than keeping up the gold course. read more

Its a great course for beginners & for working on your drives. The rate is super affordable. Course conditions dont bother me since im not donating an arm to play. read more

They only got 1 star because I couldn't put 0. We're here on a Saturday at noon and they charged us $70 for the WORST COURSE IN MIAMI. Already pissed off that we're paying $70, they also have 0 golf carts so we waited for 30 minutes. Last week we came and played for $50 which is still super overpriced for a poorly maintained golf course. Never come here it will never be worth it, play any other course in Miami. read more

the staff are very nice, the CART team are SUPER NICE. Huge improvement since 1996. This will be my third visit. I will be going more often. The food services on course is very reliable. The fairways are clean and neat. Well maintain lawns. read more

There are so many other golf courses in the area that do not require a deposit to play and this course does not refund under a 24 hour cancelation notice. Palmetto, Briar Bay, Miccosukee just to name a few does not do this.. You can never judge the weather in South Florida. I'll never play Killian Greens again. They are not golf player friendly. read more

Do not make advance reservations at this golf club. They do not allow any cancellations, rain checks or rescheduling of tee time reservations. Once you've paid you you are at their mercy. We went there yesterday after having made reservations a few days earlier. It was thundering, lightning and raining. It was not safe to play. The clubhouse said the course was open and that we could play. We were not offered a rain check, an option to reschedule or a refund. We went home. They kept our money. This is a new procedure on their part. It wasn't a ton of money but I don't appreciate being screwed by a business that I have frequented a lot in the past. read more

Killian is affordable and it is not terrible ...here you get what you pay for. It's a course that plays short. The greens are pretty poor. I would say this is the biggest ding. The people working here are friendly and efficient. There is also an unspectacular but decent kitchen and dining area. Just like that old fishing adage goes, "a bad day of golf is still better than a good day at work". There are better courses close by, but it is not as if you will have a bad time at Killian. Just expect bad greens. read more

They started the reopening on a good note, but went downhill fast. Packed, really packed with people. Poor control of the pace. First tee is a parking lot on the weekends. A lot of divots, tee boxes are all sand. They should increase the price and improve quality. Ok read more

Course is nice but overpriced ,no driving range only practice putting green available. 19 hole food is great.
