Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Keys Gate Golf Course for ideal conditions?

We highly recommend visiting Keys Gate during South Florida's dry season, typically from November through April. You'll avoid the intense summer humidity and afternoon thunderstorms, making for a much more enjoyable and comfortable round. The course is usually in its prime condition during these cooler, drier months.

What's the biggest challenge golfers face at Keys Gate, and is it beginner-friendly?

Keys Gate is surprisingly tricky, especially with its numerous water hazards and strategically placed bunkers that demand thoughtful shot placement. While it's certainly playable for beginners, don't expect an easy stroll - you'll need to think your way around the course to score well. We recommend bringing extra balls if your game isn't perfectly straight.

How does the value for money at Keys Gate compare to other South Florida courses?

Keys Gate offers solid value, especially when you consider its consistently well-maintained greens and generally good pace of play. While it's not a championship-tier resort course, you'll find a consistently enjoyable round for a very fair price, often better than some of the more crowded options nearby. It's a great local gem without the premium price tag.

What's a standout feature or hole at Keys Gate that golfers should look forward to?

You'll definitely notice the mature tree lines and the surprising amount of water that comes into play on many holes, particularly on the back nine. We especially like the par-3 17th - it's a beautiful, challenging hole where accuracy is paramount, demanding a precise shot over water to a well-guarded green.

What can I expect regarding pace of play and crowds at Keys Gate?

Generally, Keys Gate maintains a good pace of play, especially on weekdays, which we always appreciate. Weekends can get a bit busier, but the staff does a decent job of keeping things moving. We recommend booking an early morning tee time if you prefer a quicker round and fewer interruptions.
