I would first suggest, on the Mac

Contacts > Card > Look for Duplicates

If that doesn't do it

Go to iCloud.com, sign-in and edit your contacts from there.

Best of Luck

What I found to correct the issue was to go into contacts on my iPhone, select Groups and deselect all groups with the exception of ICloud group, left it checked. Automatically deleted the 350+ duplicates of one contact. Guess I should have upgraded my OS on the iPhone sooner.

Thanks for assisting.
