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.

Great value
The course is coming along nicely. They are working on the drainage system but it does not interfere with play. Have seen many improvements since last year. Will definetly play it again.
Fair
Challenging but fair layout. Very enjoyable round and day.
What a great layout.
Ok this course is not Innsbrook but it is a great layout. Every hole memorable and very playable. Driving areas are more than adequate without being boringly wide. Water but not overdone. Mounding and rolling fairways make holes interesting. Condition not top notch but greens puttable and fairways and rough have enough grass to get away from those sandy Florida lies. Simply a great layout that doesn’t overwhelm you with difficulty. I could play this course all the time what else can I say.
Grewat track
Some tough holes but fair overall. Bunkers were unplayable as they were washed out and have not been attended to in the past week.
Still a work in progress
Since re-opening it has been a roller coaster ride with conditions. It seemed that they were making steady (although slow) progress, but at least one could see improvements. Today was a huge disappointment. It seems that drainage problems have taken over at the expense of needed regular maintenance. Right now the course has the upper hand over the grounds crew.....hopefully when the current issues are resolved more effort can be put into improving playing conditions. I wish you luck.
Very slow
Course was in good shape but with no starter, the course got extremely backed up and had to sit and wait 10-15 min each hole and took me 3hrs to play 9 holes and I eventually just left. You’d think that with it being so busy that they would have a starter to spread everyone out. Not to mention they were out of carts and I had to wait for that also. Would like to play again once they get there stuff together!
Beautiful course, staff was very friendly.
They pair me with other 3 players and we all enjoy the time and the round.
Low lying elevation = wet course
This course will have to improve the drainage before I would play again. Seems even the slightest amount of rain in the week prior to our play resulted in the fairways being wet.
Interesting Layout; greens a little bumpy
Pretty good value at what I paid this day, which was $24. Challenging course.
Super Slow Pace
Course needs a ranger,there are super slow groups that slow the pace.The 14th hole had 4 groups waiting to play?Took us 3 1/2 hours to play 13 holes.No drink cart that would have at least given us some comfort.But never in 52 years playing golf have I seen 4 groups on on hole.We quit and didn’t finish the course.We play here often but may need to move on elsewhere.
Good value
Nice layout. Conditions okay for this time of year. Greens quick and true for the most part.
A Little Afternoon (Tee Time) Delight
Our early afternoon tee time could not have been better. The course conditions continue to imorove. We will absolutely be back...soon!
Nice, but still needs work
The range balls are horrible, and need replaced. Out of a small bucket I had 8 that had cuts in them, and some looked to be water soaked and old. The bunkers need sand, they are in horrible condition. For these two reason I took off 2 stars. The course is enjoyable, but they need to address these 2 items.
Highly recommended!
I've been playing Plantation Palms for a number of years before it closed down. This is the second time I've played it since it reopened and it's the best condition I've ever seen it. I highly recommend the course. Great shape in the staff was wonderful. I will absolutely be playing this course more than any other course in the area.
Pace of play
The staff was the best in the pro shop and the restaurant. But our. Hour round was 5 1/2 hours long. Too many players on the course.
