The Plantation Golf Club - Cranes Roost Course
About
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.

This course has a mix of moderate to challenging holes
We really enjoyed our day at the golg course. We had a good day weather wise. The staff and golfers were friendly and respectful. The course was kept well and challenging enough to make the golfing interesting. We will visit this course again.
Thumbs up
I love this place. Great course to go with the great weather.
Otter Creek - tight and filled with lawncare crew
Really didnt enjoy myself here. Started out with a 40 minute delay for no reason>! (said there was frost delay, but we were at first tee box for 30mins with no sign on frost anywhere and sun shining!) the starter told us we would be going out first since we were there first after the delay; however proceeded to let 2other guys go out in front. Frustrating for me. Didnt even pair us. This Otter Creek course should be gutted out and closed down. They clearly didnt have enough room/ land to make a golf course here. Some of the worst holes i've seen in terms of layout. 17th hole had 7 tractors on it when we approached tee box !!! r u kidding me?! would not return eeven if it was free
Friendly folks, pretty course, greens need help.
Something must have happened in the past year since I last played this course (Crane's Roost). The greens used to be one of the best features of the course but now seem to have trouble on most all of them. Can't tell if they got stressed at some point or just haven't been cared for. If you can get past that point, the course offers some challenging holes - depending on which tees you pick, and there are enough of them to offer different looks. It's a good value and among the nicer courses in the area.
Only one drawback.
I think cart path only on the back nine is unnecessary for all the holes so designated. A 90 degree rule for some of these holes would speed up play considerably.
challaging greens
good lay out otter creek should be allowed to drive carts when real dry
Great value with 2 different courses to play.
I have been playing at The Plantation at Leesburg for 5 years and have never seen the course looking better. The plantation is a 36 hole facility with two great golf courses. Otter Creek is an old style course with tree lined fairways, small greens and can be a very good challenge. Cranes Roost is a fairly wide-open golf course that runs through small lakes and swamp/marsh lands. Both courses are fun to play, Otter Creek being more difficult than Cranes Roost. Suitable for all handicaps. This course is great value for the money and has a super friendly staff.
TIGHT FAIRWAYS
TIGHT FAIRWAYS. SLOW GREENS. DIDN'T LIKE CART PATH ONLY ON SEVERAL GREEN ON BACK. FRONT SIDE WAS NICE.
Greens are struggling.
Interesting holes. Greens are showing overuse. Patching makes putting frustrating.
All Doglegs!
Crane's Roost circles a swampy area, and about 2/3 of the holes are dogleg left. Condition is above average for a Florida course at this time of year (February), with watered fairways and greens and short, mostly dead rough. Both the fairways and greens are contoured, with few level areas on the entire course. Overall, it is an interesting and playable course.
Great value!
I liked having two courses to play, Otter Creek and Cranes Roost. Good lies in fairways and greens rolled well. Clean, well kept golf courses. Otter Creek has a peaceful old Florida course feel- dog legs and trees. Cranes Roost is more wide open, having elevation changes and undulation. A great value for my $30. With afternoon tee times and hot deals at $18 and less, I will return.
Great course and staff!
Love the lay out of the course, is user friendly, has several tees to play off of.
Enjoyable course with many trees
The front nine were great but the back had many cart path only
holes which were tight. It was target golf for a few of them.
But, it was an enjoyable day and I would recommend the course to others.
Similar to Highlands Ridge GC - North Course
More like Lynx style. Setting in large subdivision. Have to play straight 18 holes, once you leave club house, you don't see it again until after 18th. Fun course w/ wide landing areas. Not pristine but well maintained. Tee boxes in decent shape. Fairways are plush. Has some nice unique holes. Greens are larger than Otter Creek courses greens, about same pace for speed: medium fast. Carts have windshields & rain cover in back.
Tough course for high handicapper
Nice looking place, course is narrow and challenging for a newbie.
good challenge
The greens are a little slow but overall with the exception of # 17 were in good shape.
A very tight course that requires good course management
Georgious Fairways and views
The tees, fairways, and the scenery were excellent and it has plenty of elevation change. The green are in rough shape with some having bare dirt. It looks like they seeded the greens so hopefully soon it will complete this beautiful course.
I would definitely play it again for $12
I had a very good time. Friendly golfers and staff were all very nice. Course was in decent shape and a challenging enough
layout. I also would like to comment of your staff who have also been very helpful and extremely patient and nice whenever I call for help. Paul
Regardless of the greens I would recommend this course as very good value for the money.
Course in generally good condition with the exception of at least half the greens each of which had several areas of undergrown, very thin grass. Aesthetics are nice with marshy areas and some fairways, that do wind through housing, are wide enough so that lawns/yards aren't a factor. A better than average test even for a sub-ten handicapper.
