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 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!

Love it

I haven't played it in a couple of years since I lived here, and I was happy to be back. It continues to be one of the great courses in the Tampa area. From the pro shop to Louis the starter, to the bag boys at the turn and at the end, everything was terrific. It's an incredible value and they haven't taken advantage of how busy they are by jacking the rates. It's appreciated. Only negative from today was the bev cart girl decided to pack it in at noon time. 82° and not a stitch of water anywhere on the course. That's no good, especially for us northern boys. If they have enough staff, I would move on from her in a second.
