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.

Pace of Play is a Problem
Sunday 2PM round with no Ranger or Cart Service. Played as a 3 for the front 9 and 2 the back. Charged me ($20) as a single rider, despite only having 3 on our tee time. Took us 4:45 to play and should have been 3:30. Tee times were 8 minutes apart and was stacked up, group in front of us were very slow and we waited on them for most shots. Why no marshall? I requested 1 three times from my cart. Course is in good shape, a couple of wet spots, but the greens ran true and tee boxes are good.
Great Day
When we arrived Brandon greeted us and was very helpful and pleasant. Course was in great shape but you could tell it had a lot of play.There were no bare spots and the greens were quick but true. We will definitely return
Pace of play was good; course in relatively good condition given the time of the year. Have played it before and will again at some point. Good value
Nice value course!!!
The course was in really good shape for the most part fairways and greens not too bad. Had some scenic holes, piece of play was pretty slow the day that I went, had to wait for a car because they ran out of carts. That was the only drawback, other than that, the course was pretty nice.
Decent track, but slow…
Simply put, they need marshalls out there moving play along…starters letting out singles in prime time and slotting in friends off tenth tee is not cool…2 hours for front, nearly 3 for the back nine…
I like the course, front is better than back - much tighter coming back. Always seems wet, so a few mud shots off the middle of the fairways. Greens were lightening fast though..
I see the work they are doing to improve, so if they keep going, it will only get better.
Range is closed Tuesday mornings / no notice of that..
Good layout and greens
Needs more grass around the approaches and in the fairways. Greens rolled true. Always fun place to play. Friendly staff!
Lot of walkers on this course which makes for slow play. Otherwise, great course for the money.
NICE and a Good Value To!
I found Plantation Palms to be a "must revisit" type course for me -- I often get bored with Florida golf being flat, open and between houses -- this course kept my attention and was very enjoyable.
Yes, you do play through housing but its nice and for the most part the houses are set back a touch and frankly the course was interesting enough that I wasn't looking at repeating screened pools all day --
The course had a great variety of holes some modest elevation changes and some target golf. It offered the opportunity to think about things before swinging away -- even a couple blind shots!
Staff was friendly and helpful -- plus the beverage cart seemed to make its way around in a timely fashion. The range was much like others, mats to hit off of but they were cushioned OK and fairly fresh -- there were a couple targets on the range and the balls were adequate for warm up but not good enough to do a heavy practice session with.
All in all a very fun course and a reasonable price -- played four rounds while in Florida over ten days and this is the course I would book again on another trip!
Nice course….
Course was nice, conditions good for the time of year. Staff friendly and helpful. One reminder, Tuesday is maintenance day, no range…
