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.

It's Getting Better!
I played here when they reopened the course over a year ago and it was VERY rough, but the layout was so great, I thought that it could be a great course again.
I'm happy to say that the improvement is fantastic. The greens have really settled down to be very smooth and roll true, moderately fast. However, they are not all that receptive to incoming shots unless they are very high, and yesterday the wind didn't help out much.
I'm looking forward to playing here a lot more in the future. Once again, this is a tough course, not for beginners or those who can't hit the ball very far. There are a few holes that you just can't get past unless you can hit the ball.
I highly recommend this course. If it keeps improving at the same rate, this course will be as good as any in the area. The prices are reasonable right now-I hope they stay that way.
The course has allot of potential!
Since the course was closed for a period of time, the grounds crew have done a great job to get the house into playing shape. Allot of places are rough but what has been completed too date, the crew at the course shoulod be commended! A job well done. Give the course another year or two and it should be in excellent condition as long as they continue with the current plan for the course. Well done staff!!
Improving to better
Course has a nice layoff , since reopening it has been looking better still needs growth in fairways & some of the greens.I give credit to the staff working to make course nicer. They are keeping prices down.
Long game and bad communication
The course had no advisory that only the first 9 how were open and this cause the pace of the game to be extremely slow. We ended up playing 9 holes and it took use 3 1/2 hours. If they only had the front nine available only to play they should advice that. This was a pleasant experience and the staff member at the pro shop register was not very friendly at all.
A Must Do
I have golfed here several times over the last two months. I love the course and will try to golf here weekly.
The course is getting there however we experienced a lot of wet spots around the greens. Some greens have bad sections
Great course
Challenging course, lots of water and trees, I will play there again.
Great value,
Got to course about a half hour early, no one lined up, were told we would have to wait and get paired up as course was very busy. Foursome behind us told us they were 5 minutes late for their tee time and had someone in the clubhouse they were waiting on and we should go ahead. Never ran into the "crowd" ahead of us and had a wonderful day.
Golf round 2/13/18
Nice course layout with a challenging back nine. The greens and fairways were in good shape. You can tell the course is still recovering after being closed until a couple of years ago. The sand bunkers are in bad shape.
Re-opened course
Since the last time I played this course it has improved ten fold. I will be back soon. Hats off to the course manager.
Challenging course
The course still has not recovered from lengthy shutdown. You can see the conditions have improved over the previous year. It is still worth playing at the discounted rate
Needs work
Course is in bad condition. Lots of weeds and bare spots in fairways. A few times in fairways, all you were hitting off of was dollar weed. Greens have large areas (2'x3') areas of sand. Whole course needs some money spent on upkeep. It could be a great course but not now.
Great Course
My husband and I try to golf this course at least once a week. Great layout, challenging, acceptable conditions and affordable.
Plantation Palms
Check in crew somewhat indifferent, no reason getting there early since you can not get a cart until 10 minutes before your tee time. Course layout nice, conditions rough though. Many lies in fairways where the ground just explodes as you hit it, chipping not much different. Greens spotty at best.
Coming along nicely
Course has improved drastically.
Fairways are tight lies,but not barren.
Greens in good shape. Bunkers bad.
Give it a try, you'll like it.
Slow, Slower & Slowest
Terrible pace of play. apparently a screw up on an earlier shotgun start delayed us by 20 min off 1st tee but still no excuse for slowness. Need to emphasis correct tees to use, remind people to play ready golf. Remove offenders. Course is a fun challenge and very close to getting back to where it used to be.
