The Cranes Roost Course is one of two championship courses at the Plantation at Leesburg. This semi-private golf course features dramatic elevation changes of up to 170 feet. The hilly terrain provides rolling fairways and undulating greens. Water hazards also come into play through much of the golf course, providing further challenge. The Cranes Roost Course accommodates golfers of all skill levels, but it can be especially challenging if taken too casually. In addition to the two golf courses, the Plantation at Leesburg offers a practice facility for golfers to work on their short game as well as a pro shop and staff of golf professionals.

Great Value and Fun Course

Fun course and conditions are not bad for the price. Staff is so friendly here and golf instructor Amy has been great. My game has improved so much in just 3 lessons.

Much Improved

This course is undergoing a positive transformation. Ted boxes are green and fresh. Greens roll true and their turf is much better than a few months ago. Also very noticeable is the better quality of grounds maintenance. The course was very playable. The rough is mostly brown and dormant in this dry cool season but that’s to be expected. I did see one fairway with several bare spots where soil has been filled in in preparation for reseeding. Overall I was very pleased with the conditions. Now If I could sink the birdie putts!

In spite of....

In spite of two recent hurricanes, the course was in great shape and except for the high water on a few of the cart paths you would not know the amount of rain and weather in recent weeks. Good course, enjoyable round.

Much better

The course has come a long way since we played it earlier this year. Fairways have improved greatly as have the tee boxes. The greens are playable but need to fill in. Good value for what they are charging. Great layout with a nice mixture of holes. If you are looking for good value this is one of the best options in central Florida.

Not what it was

This golf course needs a lot of work. The greens are awful. The fairways are marginal. The Teebox is a marginal. It has not been a good place to play golf for at least four or five years the best time of the year to play. It is when they over seated after that it’s not very good at all.

Do not waste you money on this!!!!!

I have played this course before but this time there was nothing good to say about it. The Tee Boxes were dry and crunchy. The "fairways" were very thin and spotty. The "greens" were either dead and/or dying. I am not sure what has happened and also disturbed that we were not even warned about the conditions in the clubhouse. VERY DISAPPOINTED !!!!!

Greens are aerated....

The greens were useless today.... and we were told that the customer needs to ask.... not for the employee's or management to tell us upfront..... and if you don't ask, tough luck....

This place is ran shady and has lost our business.... play here at your own risk...

Fun Course to Play

I played this course with a group of 50+ people. The course can be tight in places. There is a premium on hitting fairways or at least not being far off fairways. The greens were relatively small but at a good speed and the ball rolled true. Pace of play was excellent. Finished in 4 hours. I would recommend this course.

Feel better

A course that will make you feel better about your game. This course is wide open and easy to get to the greens. Was able to put up my best score. The course is short so don't get greedy you will get your birdy shots.
