Plantation Palms Golf Club
About
Plantation Palms Golf Club, designed by David Harman, provides every Tampa golfer with a challenging and rewarding golf experience. The links-style design starts with a welcoming par 5, and then slowly steps up with a mixture of strong par 3s. Just 10 minutes north of Tampa, this course was carved a 400-acre citrus grove that slopes from west to east, providing interesting elevation changes. Water is in play on 17 of 18 holes. Plantation Palms Golf Club has an attractive framing of greens by the use of pine trees, water and large snow-white sand traps. The true-rolling elevated greens have good movement and are a challenge for golfers.

Decent course
Layout has some decent holes. Green complexes are the best part about the course. You miss a green and you’ll have some interesting shots. Several greens are elevated and well protected. Fair amount of water in play.
Some tee boxes were a little rough. Fairways decent considering lack of rain. Made them firm with a lot of roll.
Greens were in great shape. Again a bit firm due to lack of rain. But rolled good and pretty quick. Some were really quick. You get some challenging putts due to undulations. As I said the green complexes in general are the best to g about this course. Value is decent if you play outside of prime time.
The food has always been pretty solid. Not a huge menu but descent selections. Said they just redid the menu but I would still expect descent quality. Popular hangout with folks in the neighborhood.
Florida visit
Nice course conditions given drier conditions. Greens in very nice shape and quick. Nice round of golf.
Good course
More dips, hills, elevated greens and slopes on greens than most courses in the area. Most holes are not tight yet few easy layups to get on green.
Very busy so I was disappointed with pace of play. 2 hours 20 minutes on front nine.
Enjoy playing here, hadn’t played there in a long time so forgot how tough some of these holes are.
Great course
Championship size greens, greens roll great , fairways in good condition. I left my pitching wedge on a hole and didn’t realize until 4/5 holes later and the ranger came to drop it off to me ! Definitely will be coming back
Above average, I'll be back!
Recommend playing if you can get a deal, maybe in the afternoon. Thought $80 with a small bucket was a little expensive for the fairway conditions. Greens were really hard, hit a good wedge and rolled to the back a few time. Starter was super nice and let me go early - Thanks. The layout was fun. Saw a fox, buzzards, bunch of hungry crows (watch your cart snacks), and a few gators.
Great and challenging course
What a great course, once you drive up the staff is there to help you with your bags. The pro shop had many things to purchase if you forgot something and the employee was very nice. When we got to the first tee (Hank) checked us in and explained how the tv monitor that is on every cart. It shows each hole, scorecard, flyover of the hole you’re on and the distance from tee to hole. I loved it and used all the features. The tee boxes, fairways, sand traps and greens were in great condition.
I highly recommend this course to anyone that wants a challenge and nice views.
Great shape
Great fairways and fast greens. This is only the 2nd course I have found with champion shape greens. The only downfall was the fixing of ball divot repair on greens. That is not so much on them but us as golfers. Loved my round.. 86 BTW
Fun Sunday Round
2nd time playing in two weeks and it was a great experience as previously. The greens were nice and fast and rolled true which is so important. Not only fast, but firm and held approach shots nicely. I would honestly say that the tees needed a little bit of work or maybe water as they were a bit worn, but I'm okay with that based on the quality of the fairways and greens. I'm not putting off of the tee box, but rather pushing a tee into the ground. The practice range was a bit rough too, which made for a bizarre warmup since the ground was very uneven. The pace was pretty good for the most part, but there was a slightly slow group in front and we had a 4.5 hr round that could have easily been under 4. Surprised that they allowed a walker on a weekend afternoon in that group and we never saw a ranger.
Regardless, a great course and vert enjoyable round!
Saturday Funday
Had a great round and enjoyed the course, layout, conditions, and playing partners. The pace was excellent with no waiting except on the 18th teebix for some reason. Fast greens and space on the fairways if you get a little loose out of the tee box. All my approach shots stuck the green, yet they were firm and rolled true. The cart GPS was a little wacky and cautioned me on the cart path near the 18th and 9th greens.
My only negative was that the toilet in the ckubhouse had no toilet paper. Good thing there were papers for the sink.
A lot of member walkers
With all of the walkers it can slow the pace down quite a bit.
Wide open course but pace of play was horrible
Great course with lots of wildlife! Pace of play was horrendous. Literally waiting on every shot.
Good value for money
The course is in very good shape. The greens were fast and true. For me it's a second shot course. Driving areas are generous.
