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.

Nice course very nice conditions, greens good, interesting layout, all paths paved. It's a good challenge for the better senior player from the back tees -the blues. Lots of dog legs. Great practice facility. Carts clean and quiet - electric. Nice area. Gladly go back

A nice surprise

I went to try this course for the first time and was very pleased with my choice. I played alone and went during the twilight rate and basically had the course to myself. The course conditions were very good with nice slick greens and well playable fairways. I will definitely be playing here again.

Good Deal For The Money

Challenging course with lots of views. Pace of play was great. The course was in nice condition.

A nice treat was the availability of ice at several locations. A recommendation would be to have food and beverages available later in the afternoons.

Staff was very friendly and accomodating.

Course drains well green good shape

We waited 1 1/2 hours for the rain to stop. Course was very playable. Compared to the reviews I read on the courses in Clermont this course was in great shape with tees, fairways and greens manicured and no bare spots. From the blue tees par three's are long. Nice layout with plenty of ways to use most of the clubs in the bag.

Rained out by the 3rd hole

I've played Crane's Roost many times but this was the first time I was rained out. From what I saw of it the course is in great shape.

This course features some really interesting holes. For example, the par 5 9th is a horseshoe fairway that curves around a swamp. If you're a big hitter and can carry 270 yards, you could turn sideways on the tee and try to drive the green. But for most of us aiming for the center of the fairway is the low risk shot. On this hole the 3rd shot is the tricky one.

This is a thoroughly enjoyable golf course and would highly recommend it.

Like the course

Course is a good challenge due to undulating greens and course design. Excellent challenge for senior players. Pace of play was very slow the day we played. We were a threesome and the foursome in front of us did not invite us to play through even though we were often at the same tee box as they were teeing off.

Nice course,, nice people on course

This is a nice course where nice people do play at a fairly rapid pace. drinking water is available on many holes, even ice is available...a nice attention which does not cost anything...bigger places could learn this one.

This is a short course, even from the back tees...that being said, be careful with the Otter revenge holes, where you could loose momentum fairly quickly and spoil your round...Plantation has electric carts...something you enjoy vs the gas driven ones...

If you are looking for a short track, where greens are in good condition, at a reasonable cost...this is the spot.
